Version 1.6.9
game_progressionupdates_and_maintenanceI keep coming back, over and over, for at least 6 years with this game. I have bought copies for every platform I have. This game challenges you to come back over and over, earning all the achievements or finding all the easter eggs (ping). Well worth the minutes, hours, years, and lifetimes you can spend playing. Though, the occasional update to help clarify the - - - to +++ sliders would be nice.

Version 1.6.9
performance_and_bugsTruly an amazing game! So many different combinations to choose from, it ensures every playthrough is unique. The game has a fair share of trail and error, but it's fun discovering the combinations and what does and doesn't work well. My biggest gripe is the sequel system, I'd prefer to be able to put my games into 'series' and have spinoffs that aren't necessarily sequels (and have them grouped as a series on my game overview). The game timeline menu could use an overhaul regardless.

Version 1.6.11
game_progressioncontentEnjoyable. Not too hard, but not too easy either. I appreciate the need to think a bit about choices I'm having to make in game. I will say that it could use some work on repetitiveness in some areas, such as the gaming magazine reviews that pop up. Overall, I think the game is fun and fairly clever in its execution.
