Geneforge 4: Rebellion

As always try to find your games on sale. While I personally feel all of the Geneforge games deserve to be bought for full price...money is money and people need it for other things like eating. I copied and pasted from my own review I'm lazy... This game is a turn based game Fantasy RPG just like the first and second. You will need to read for context during the game. If you don't like reading you won't like the game. You generally get short scenes from the story where you and your companion will speak and you will receive details about them depending on your skills. You choose how to respond and the scene continues. Making choices with words and actions will shape your story and eventual ending. During combat you will experience a Turn based RPG. This game doesn't get rid of old mechanics it just refines them further. In this game you have 5 classes to choose from. You start in a particular faction in this game and these are the classes available. The usual 3 from previous games aren't present here but there are similar ones available. These classes mainly mean there are new ways to play and more play throughs available. Other games in the series you can make it nearly to the end before you have to commit to a side. Since you start off in a particular faction this time your options become limited much sooner. Like before you can be called to switch sides before the end but it affects the actual ending. Also shortcuts have a much bigger effect. They affect more than just your skills here. I'm being vague on purpose. no spoilers. This game feels larger than the previous ones. It also has the less references to the second game. This one is riding more on the first and third in terms of lore. I have less time in this game than the others roughly 50hrs or so. There is still more for me to do. I can't seem to beat the game as a certain faction and character class. Less than an hour in Steam but as I've said before buying again in steam is more of a show of support than actual gameplay. Anyway point is I enjoyed myself and I would recommend this game.
