Dominic Sheard: "French game development studio, Spiders, has released a couple of fascinating games over the past few years. They might not be fantastic games, but each one had an interesting setting or concept that could have been great, but was let down by either not meeting the potential, including poor design decisions or clunky mechanics. One thing that did connect them all is that each game was distinguishable as falling into the B movie category, the budget game, featuring issues that you can assume were down to time and money constraints for a project of considerable size. Spiders’ next game, Bound by Flame, follows a similar issue, along with lacking the imagination that I found was a key attraction in previous titles from the developer, such as Of Orcs and Men."
The Humble Focus Entertainment Legends and Visions Bundle just launched today. It includes seven different games on multiple operating systems that you can redeem and play on Steam. As always, a portion of proceeds from the bundle supports charity.
