Non-RPG General News - Gord Review @ IGN

[HiddenX]

The strategy game Gord will be released tomorrow - IGN reviewed it:

Gord Review

"Any way you look at it, whether it's an RPG, a real-time strategy game, or a colony sim, Gord is as miserable as its downtrodden villagers. Other games are bad because they aim too high, attempt too much, and fall down on their own merits. They are at the very least hoisted on their own petard, doing us the favor of digging their own grave or being entertaining in their failures. Gord does not; it simply falls flat and rots where it lies, surrounded by monotonous micromanagement, a poor interface, and by-the-numbers combat. I am content to leave it there, but you may bury it if you like."

Thanks Couchpotato!

That's a rough review :O I noticed that the PC version got lower scores than the console release. I wonder why that is.

Haha it feels like the reviewer is mad that he had to sink many hours into playing and reviewing this game while everyone at the office was enjoying BG3.

For what is worth, I sympathize.

The reviews on Steam aren't very good either. It's currently sitting at 47% positive. It seems like a lot of people don't care for the RTS aspect and the amount of micromanagement.
