It was enjoyable, which i didn't expect from a word game that only uses the english dictionary. Even if i got some of the achievements for the longer words, my ratio was around 5 letters long, and that was by abusing "s" to pluralize.
But that's fine, because it uses elements from more modern matching games. So there are clear objectives, and objects of interest, and a longer word isn't necessarily much better, though it certainly gives a higher high score.
It's slightly necessary to analyze the board, create the words around the area, in order to bring the character blocks down, but there are some hazards along the way.
There's also character abilities. Those cost turns, but sometimes still less than it would take the player to get rid of a certain block or hazzard.
Characters also need oxygen to survive, earned by linking blue blocks through character blocks.
Anyway, i'm missing some achievements, its not so much that its terribly hard, its more because this game is really long.
I already had to deal with the story, with dialogue between every level. So i just had no interest in doing challenges after.
Nor did i care for the time trial levels, especially the simple math game.

What happens after Hotline Miami?
I liked Party Hard, but in general these Slow paced games built around repetitive tasks, sometimes even self admitted jokes, aren't particularly good, just bad ideas, even if a small twist to the formula.
If it wasn't so short, it would probably suck, i can't even imagine playing this for 10 hours only to find that uninspired boss fight. For a short game, its fine, it went for as much as it needed, and if anyone likes it, there is more hidden content

This is a beast of a game, It only runs fine because the upscaling is enabled by default. Turning it off isn't an option for most PC owners, its a massive drop of frame rate. Dont forget this was designed to run at 720p. The worst part is that it looks almost like the Xbox version, except it not capped at 30fps. I might just give it the Crysis treatment, and check back a few years, to test my new build. But i'm sure it will still look blurry anyway. It's kind of a waste to build this primarily for the console, now, well, maybe i could do it with a 1060

Alan wake was better at hiding how straightforward and small the world was, not just because its survival horror. It's more about how it places your current location, in regards to the full map.
I don't like the insistence in separating the live action from the game, no one would know what the hell was going on from the episodes alone.
And the combat is not as satisfying as it looks. Good yet, weaker the most remedy games. I left the grain on, dont know if theres an option to disable it, i just like film grain in games

I have been playing this casually. If i had a choice i would rather play it with friends, but i lost them with "BlazingGriffin" and "20€"
I like the new game just fine, it is undoubtedly simple. They had to cut so much stuff from the Ship, just to make the concept reality, And honestly i don't know, i don't think it's the kind of game you play competitively, even though they will be adding ranked matches.

More on that later, i want to talk on how comment on how weird this company is. They bought the License for The Ship, Never mind the developer going defunct or whatever, apparently the IP is a bigger asset.
Did they thought this was going to be the new COD? you make a franchise out of a party game?
It must have been a great idea, because the first thing they did was start a crowdfunding campaign to make a sequel. Which obviously failed.
Then to recoup losses they made a remastered version. Unfortunately they must have forgotten they had given The Ship for free like candy, and everyone and their grandma already had a copy of the original.it failed again.

now, we got Murderous Pursuits, which, would not need a license whatsoever. Different time period, rules, mechanics, gameplay, it's not even on a Ship. It was not marketed as a successor to the Ship. And saying its from the same publisher, holds as much interest as saying, this film is from such and such producer.

Anyway, MP, is all about detecting human behaviour.
The radar is really good at telling you if there is a quarry or a killer nearby, but you will need to analyze the room and determine if the character is indeed your quarry or just another NPC.
Everyone will be trying to catch someone, while trying to blend in the crowd. That's almost the entire game, The ship had other stats, like sleeping, taking a shower, you could bribe guards. And MP, just doesn't. You just pretend to be an NPC near your target and your possible killer.
What they do however, and possibly will be adding more are perks, that help defend, attack, or just disguise yourself.
Oh...and there's no combat really, it's a bit more casual, its like a tag game, if you think you have your target, just aproach, highlight and click.
They can defend themselves with perks, they can even expose you before you attack, so it has some mechanics there.

I think the humiliation perk is broken. The next week i said that, they updated it and made it even more OP. I don't know why, i at least know i'm not wrong, because i have only one with that perk. It's the only ability that does not have a timer. I can use it for points every time i kill a target. And yeah, it exposes me, but no one will run around exposing themselves to their killer just to catch me. If my killer isnt around im free to use it. In fact if i expose the killer, there wont even be a reprecussion from using it.~

I wouldnt recommend buying this game to play SP.Its missing part of what makes this game fun.
The only reason this game has SP, is because bots are needed to fill in for when any player drops from the game
