It's Killing Time

Are you kidding? "It's Killing Time" is so bad, it's funny. I was actually laughing out loud at how much more ridiculous the story got with each passing chapter. It's hard to explain without revealing any spoilers. But that's part of the problem. The story is so poorly written, it drops spoilers on itself. Predictable is too mild a word. The characters are so 1-dimensional, that you can just match them up with their 'Creative Writing 101' archetype when they are introduced. At first there was disappointment with these flaws. But about half way thru, the story reached a point of absurdity that I couldn't help smiling at how awful it was. I also couldn't help but use the 'vast power of my imagination' to envision the author asking himself - "How big a turd will these Choice of Games people pay me to pop out?" The big twist is beyond telegraphed. It's like when a little kid tries to whisper something to you and its louder than if he had spoken in his normal voice. And this so-called twist...

Never been so disinterested in a Choice of game. Every character has the same voice, everyone vomits exposition at the drop of a hat, and the pacing of the game is spotty. I didn't care about any of the characters, or about the backstory. The frequent flashbacks were annoying as hell. The fight and assassination scenes were good, but that's about it. Overall, the writing on this game was seriously weak.

I actually liked the story a lot on the first playthrough. Yes, it might be a little easy to see through in parts, but I feel like that about a lot of stories ... I read a lot and you learn to recognize patterns after a while. I liked the writing, too, even though it might perhaps be a little better every now and then. The fact alone that I'm rating this game should show I like it ... I usually don't write reviews.

Absolutely fantastic game! From the second I started playing I was hooked. The writing is great, the pacing is terrific and the detail is engrossing. I’ve always enjoyed Choice of Games and I’m really happy that there’s finally an assassin COG. There are a ton of options and different ways to play through the game, which I first got on my phone. I've now played it a second and third time. I keep discovering more and more. I like how you can really choose to be the kind of assassin you want to be. Definitely recommended.

I don't often write reviews but I saw that this game only has 8 at the time of writing this so I figured it deserved a boost. I've played a good number of Choice of Games titles and a couple Hosted Games titles and I wouldn't rate this one at the highest but it certaintly wasn't bad. I play all of the games in one sitting (if possible) and I completed this on in 3.6 hours, not a bad length and the story had enough to keep me entertained the whole way through. If you're a fan of the games this is one I'd recommend.

Brilliant game. I'm an avid reader, and i greatly enjoyed this game. must buy at this cheap price.

It's straight forward. The writing could definitely be better, as there aren't too many elements about any characters, or the story on the whole that I would write home about. It’s fairly predictable, and it’s very easy to navigate the game with a single set of skills without issue or conflict. But with the stream of mediocre and even poor games released from Choice of Games, it was nice to play something that was straight forward. The game was advertised as one where you get to be an assassin, and it delivers on that front. That seems like an oddly simple thing to praise a game for, but that’s exactly where these games have been failing of late. They’ve been so busy preaching its own morality that it stopped feeling like I was embarking on an adventure of my own will. They’ve been taking place in entirely author created worlds with too many moving pieces and not nearly enough words or time to let the reader immerse themselves into it; that too with worlds that aren’t near...

This was not the kind of game I was expecting. It's very much focused on your "family" of assassins and your connections to them. You're trying to solve a mystery, but you're forced to go on these assignments that have nothing to do with what's going on. Pros: -Story was long enough. -Opportunities to increase your stats, more often than similar games. -There was one interesting fight, but I don't want to give spoilers. You can choose to romance this person as well, which I thought was pretty cool and went well with my character. -The reason 'why' part of the mystery was a twist I wasn't expecting. But the 'how' I saw coming a mile away. Neutral: -Tries really hard to give you romance options. -What you did will give you the ending of the story, don't have the option to choose. -Ending will take into account reputation, fame, money, character fates. -Secrets and hidden achievements. Cons: -The writing is pretty bad, I found alot of it silly and ridiculous. -Alot of the time t...

For a "Choice of" strory, the game is kinda underwhelming. It's more of a combination game (find what works best for which achievement) than a truly role-playing game. And it's short. Basically, it is well made, but I so not recommend it. There are better games from the same publisher out there.

its good
