“the concept is still genius, interesting world and atmosphere” (15)
Игра моего детства. Сейчас в неё играть тяжело - механики простые, глубины мало, многое ощущается устаревшим. Но сама концепция до сих пор гениальна. Хочется современную игру с таким же концептом, но с большим углублением на каждом этапе.
