Overall Renowned Explorers: International Society is an epic fun-adventure game to be played multiple times to discover new encounters and create your own stories. Abbey Games has done a fantastic job. It has funny moments, decisions, great strategy gameplay, and makes it feel like it is your own adventure. It is like an adventure cartoon series as well with awesome art visuals and great presentations for the beginning and ending of the explorations picture informations. The procedural explorations and options of choosing crew members brings it high replay value to come back to try out different crew combinations.

This game is well worth the buy. The playthroughs themselves are short, but there is so much room for variation and experimentation on each playthrough that I really don’t think you can ever have the same experience twice. If you’ve ever wanted to explore the far reaches of the world without having to deal without roughing it, check out Renowned Explorers: International Society on Steam.
