I think they got me
I'm getting my ass whooped but I'm hooked already
Damn this is hard but so engaging. It's impressive how thrilling they can make the vibe with a good soundtrack, serviceable animations and text bubbles.
I'm out here stressing out defending civilian buildings like there were real lives on the line
sometimes making the decision they're gonna have to tank that hit
Even the way the secondary objectives are emphasized by the mission debriefs and CEO is unnerving in a great way. I was struggling against tough ass monsters about to destroy my grid and this mf gonna call me talking about "I hate to press, but is the bridge still up?" I cussed him out while loving it, this is an example of small things adding tension in a tactful way
And the gameplay is obviously excellent. I just wish we could see in which order monsters will act on their turn to be able to make more solid strategies.
Never played FTL but I remember watching bits of Let's Play when I was a kid. I could already tell this was some quality stuff back then... I'm glad to be able to experience this one.
