Stacklands Review (Kirruu)
Great little game. First playthrough, really awesome.
And then...
Then it gets a little tiresome. It takes a lot to remember/learn about what's what, and what mechanics work and where. And just as you start to somewhat have it under control in your brain, the rules are changed and you go back to chaos. I stopped playing at that point as I didn't feel like throwing curve balls into the (already convoluted) gameplay was the answer for DLC. New items, new storylines, more humor - sure. Changing basic game mechanics to "spice" it up, meh. I liked my villagers and animals as they were, without them now dying of age and rather quickly (and that's with new items and other new mechanics thrown in). I would have loved to actually have an opportunity to use the acquired knowledge of mechanics and gameplay (at least for a little while - so that I felt like I accomplished something) before being thrown into more chaos. So I stopped playing, even though I got the DLC. My brain was like, nope.
Still, awesome game, awesome concept, awesome mechanics. I guess I'm just getting older? This kind of stuff used to be a lot of fun, now it's too much effort vs reward. :P
