GameShark writes: "In some ways, the formula for Tilted Mill's Hinterland is reminiscent of Sid Meier's latest iteration of Pirates. There's a few basic game mechanics that are highly refined, exceedingly repetitious and extremely addictive... to a point. Its combination of Diablo-esque RPG combat and strategic city building offers a game mechanic that can keep you up far too late for three or four consecutive nights. Once you stop playing, though, you probably won't go back to it. But then, what more should you demand from a Steam distributed game that costs just $20?"
What's Hot:
+A highly addictive strategy/RPG hybrid that offers crisp, colorful graphics and can be had for just $20
What's Not:
-It only takes a short time to see everything the game has to offer, from there how much enjoyment you'll get depends on how much you want to try out different techniques and strategies
The Long Dark has already enjoyed significant success on Steam’s Early Access platform on the PC, selling nearly 350,000 units over nine months and garnering over 95% positive player reviews. The expertise that Hinterland has developed over the past months, and The Long Dark’s reputation as one of the highest quality community-informed titles, contributed to Microsoft’s choice to bring the game to its innovative new Game Preview on Xbox One program, a first on any console.
GG3 is back with more gameplay streaming for neat packages floating around the net. In the latest commentary, Hinterland is shown off to detail the Groupees Shinyloot Bundle, which has more than 9 games on offer.
"Today, Indie Royale launched their second bundle of 2013, the Snow Storm Bundle. By now, most everyone knows how these bundles work. So to switch things up a bit, let’s examine the games offered on a more individual level, rather than focusing on the bundle as a whole." - Tom Christiansen
