The Floating City

Honestly id not recommend this game for several reasons. First, the character line up is very uneven. Not only that but they are all secret keepers and liars, including your "best friends". All of them are dishonest with you from the start, and cause major issues for you through out the game. Then there are the mechanics of the game, which really make no sense. Its all based off the stats, but you can never really tell when an action will be boosting, what stat, or calling on which stat. In my single play through, i failed at litterally every challenge thrown my way. I honestly lost interest in even reading the text about half way through. It didnt matter what I was going to do 1. someone was going to be backstabbing or betraying me and 2. I was going to fail miserably at responding to whatever circumstance was at hand. Finally and this one will be a sensitive matter for some people, You are playing as a disabled person. You are never told explicitly why you are disabled, but r...

It's okay. It's priced about right for what it is. It has a lot of seemingly interesting places that aren't quite done justice by their descriptions, and a lot of concepts that aren't fully fleshed out. The bones are definitely there, but the focus on assorted emergencies and disasters detracted from the characters, who were the genuinely interesting bit. Some characters fell out of focus in favor of these things, which, in turn, meant that there were people who I barely felt any connection with. The choices are fairly often unclear as to what skills they use, making some things a bit of a shot in the dark, and there was a rather extreme focus on risking one's life for what was, effectively, livestock. (If a creature is to be slaughtered in order to feed a human, from a practical perspective, there is not much of a point in a human dying or nearly dying to save it.) In all, it's not a bad game, and the setting is interesting; it just feels as though more information about the setting w...

I'd give this game a neutral rating if I could. + Story was interesting for me but it was really hardcore. I don't remember making so many bad choices in a Choice Of game. - Stats really need some description, I generally didn't understand which stat was needed for which critical choice.

I started playing this and before I get wrapped up thought I would write a review. I always love the books where you can decide the ending. In this game, it's a book where you decide who you are, what you do and how you will do it with whom. You get to see stats on how the character you chose is doing, earn achievements and read an interesting post-environmental destruction world storyline. Pleasant play without the shoot-em-up of more active games for a quiet but interesting afternoon. You can replay often for many different form of character and the story will be different. Fun in an unusual, quiet, interesting way.

First off, I agree with many of the other reviews. Interesting setting but it needed more details. It needed meat on the bones. As for the characters, I found none of them interesting, and in fact only fell in love because the story does not understand the word 'like'. One of the choices was to explain to one of my friends that I liked them. I assumed this meant I liked them - putting in the friend zone. Not, according to this author like meant love. The big problem is I am a character and setting kind of guy. But the characters was bland and the settings not much better. As for a plot - I am not sure I should say it had a plot. Things happened but...there wasn't structure to the whole thing. I am not sure I can even call it a story. The end result is kind of thin, like a bland soup, which does nothing to fill you. I need to go read a good book after this just to...well, get the bland out of my head. On top of everything else....it was boring.
