Unpopular a view as it may be, I think these games are underrated.

They're not perfect, sometimes their reach exceeds their grasp and there can be some very annoying foibles, but they do have a certain appealing depth to them and I appreciate that, particularly these days as almost anything other than increasingly samey action shooters are jammed into a smaller and smaller niche. They do hark back to better days, though those days are probably a little distorted by a rosy haze.

I'm glad that someone is making games like this because regardless of their shortcomings these are, in theory anyways, how I imagined computer games would be 'in the future' fifteen or twenty years ago. There are very few games that even approach that. There are a lot of great games I wouldn't even have been able to imagine back then, but games like this were what a lot of people dreamed about.
