Osta

very fun and nice game

you must be at least this autistic to enter

Am I autistic? An Osta review. Yeah, I am super autistic, and this game tickles all the right areas of my 'tism in a way that very few games have every been able to reach. Military History? Check! (To an absurd degree, actually.) Finding old rusty stuff in the ground and giving it new life? Check! A game that I literally could lose Hours, Days, and Weeks into? Double Check! Osta is a military relic collection and restoration simulator, with an absurd degree of accuracy to the models of weapons you can collect. I'm talking it differentiates between Models of nearly identical rifles, so it feels amazing when you de-rust a part, Identify it, and realize it's a match for another part you have, and you slot them together with a satisfying click. It even tells you if the item is authentic or a replica, to really drive your need to collect crazy. For all those history and military nerds out there, this is a game for you! The feeling when you finally complete an authentic weapon and gently arrange it on the shelf to display as a gleaming monument to your insane need to complete things is an otherwordly experience. Now, I won't pretend this game is all good. There are some things that could be worked on, such as the fact that occasionally, small items you've found can be hidden behind grass or pinecones that are part of the terrain, and makes it nigh impossible to spot the item in order to pick it up, and the levels do end abruptly, with nothing beyond the invisible wall, and I do mean nothing, not extra forest or wilderness that you simply can't access, but a total void of naught but daylight, Which makes you break out of your immersion and realize you're standing on a flat 2d plane hovering in the void, but to me, these are minor issues, that will likely be fixed soon. Then there's the price. Less than $20 CAD all in, tax and everything. This is one of those games that you buy without needing to open up your bank app and decide between the game and having food for the next two weeks. So, All in All, while there are some areas the game could improve on, I must give props where props are due, and score this a solid 9/10. Just don't let the fact that you're desecrating war graves disturb you at all. Oh, and definitely don't mind the fact that you find 70-100 year old unstable explosives and are supposed to chuck them in your backpack instead of calling the bomb squad, lol.
