Satellite Reign

File this under "maybe it starts being fun later?". Ran out of patience by the time the tutorial told me to go wandering around hacking ATMs to fund researching a shotgun. How is it the combat in the first hour is more boring than what Syndicate threw at you in the first 5 minutes? I'm thinking this game would have been a lot better going with Shadowrun setpiece heist levels rather than the Ubisoft open world horse shit model.

You need to start a new game with the "Uber Damage" setting on (and probably Real-Time pause to help with the greater danger). The default damage rate for weapons in that game is way too low and makes for boring fights (to say nothing of nullifying the advantage of getting the drop on enemies.

Also you need to max out hotwiring for your soldier and hacking for your hacker ASAP.

But ultimately I'd file Satellite Reign in the same category as Trine 2, gameplay is the secondary draw to the art design in this game.

Thanks for the warning on battle chef, I was seriously considering trying that one. Guess I'll use the money for Nine Parchments instead tomorrow, speaking of Trine.
