Recent reviews by The Real Squiggy

Reminds me of XCOM, but with mental illness as the real enemy. What's not to love?......okay a lot I suppose, but a truly fun experience as long as you remember that characters are actually expected to die, and that a "perfect playthough" is impossible.

Honestly the best way to teach a blightstormer what they get for blightstormin'.

-Weapon damage is usually very believable (as in, 2-3 shots kill most of time)
-Behavior of the weapons (drift, reload, etc.) is pretty well balanced
-Movement similar to standard CS:GO, but with more realistic speed

It's also worth noting that most of the player community is pretty friendly. You'll find the occasional goon(s), but that's true of any game. Competitive play is intense but not nearly as angry as with Call of Duty.

Overall, a solid recommendation if you like Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, the Battlefield games, or even Call of Duty.

Been playing Command & Conquer since I scraped together a Gateway PC that BARELY, BARELY met the requirements, so I feel pretty qualified to review this from a biased but very experienced perspective. A healthy dose of the nostalgia from classic C&C mixed in with...well, really, just higher quality graphics. The actual gameplay isn't changed too much, which is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it's just like you remember; on the other, I promise you'll miss the attack-move command 30 seconds into a game. So really, the issues come from being based on a 20+ year old game. However, there are mods available that address several of these "age related" issues, and with the general wonder of the original play still in tact, I recommend this for any fans of classic C&C.

I WILL TAKE SIGMAR'S THRONE.

Edit, like 2 years later: took Sigmar's throne, it kinda sucks being Emperor. This game, however, is a real treat and I recommend it to anybody who enjoys the Total War series in general, the tabletop game, or grand-strategy. If you like all three of those things, you really can't go wrong.
