But
Who gives a shit about that?!
This game I got off Steam for a couple quid is immense!
FTL: Faster Than Light
The graphics are 80s, as is the sound. All deliberate. The gameplay is phenomenal. So difficult, frustrating but the more I play the better I get (by wafer thing margins).
Tactics are the name of the games here, choosing your battles, knowing when to GTFO (only learned this one recently)
Who'd have thought such a basic looking game could generate such tension and excitement. Hammering you opponent to try to destroy his shield generator and weapons. Oh no! The prick has destroyed your O2 generator and time is running out to fix it. Do you take a guy off weapons or shields to repair it? Shite, it's caught fire! Vent the effected area. I've been boarded, run away!.....
You get the idea. Just good, honest fun like the old days.
It's cheaper than a pint of Asahi.
Anyway, did I mention I'm starting training?
