United StatesMy first review for a first rate game
I don’t review things, but in my fever induced mania perhaps I’m turning over a new leaf. I’ve played lots of excellent Choice Of games, my favorites being the Heroes series, so you can probably see a trend here. But I don’t know if I’ve ever been as drawn into a world like I have with Superlatives. Weather Control is one of my favorite powers so that helps, and I genuinely enjoy leading a team where other games have only given you the facade of doing so, that I’ve played anyway. I like the characters, I’m genuinely interested to see what each one thinks and says, who they are as people and heroes. Now I’m not that far in, maybe chapter 5 or so, but everything is so consistent thus far that I’d be surprised if it took a nose dive. I’ll certainly review again once I’ve finished but I look forward to playing the rest with great aplomb.
United StatesWonderful!
This game is amazing! I’ve played it through twice now, and will probably give it another go soon. I desperately hope we’ll see a sequel in the future!
United Statesneed a sequel
i’ve been playing choice of games for years and this is my favorite of all. long, complex, well-rounded, well-written, inventive, and compelling. plus, dusk. swoon. i’ll be replaying this one for a while, and i really hope this story continues.
United StatesOne of my favorites (mild spoilers)
I’ll keep this very simple and short; I absolutely love how the story is written and the variety of personality’s each character has. —————————————————————— My only issue with it at the moment seems to be a error in coding when it comes down to picking who is more likely to be the target. I had picked to stay and defend Dusk, but in the next chapter it follows that I had picked Gatsby, when I in fact had picked Dusk. This is a bit deheartening but what can you do. I really do hope this can be fixed.
United StatesTop notch
This has been one of my favorite stories so far. There’s action and character development and surprising twists. Great job to the author and wvowho helped make it such an entertaining tale!
United StatesWorth your time and money
So I don’t normally write reviews for anything but this one deserves it. I went into this thinking it was going to be another story trying to be hero rise. I was however fairly surprised. Lets start with the pros PROS .Fantastic characters .Fun story .Great villains .Real choice CONS .somewhat bad pacing in places such as a character reveal early on. .In places some plans fall through when it feels like they should go off without a hitch .conversations with your team can be quite shallow at times. If these aren’t too frightening to you get it it’s a real treat with what seems like a taste of what’s to come
