This Is Not A Review: Dead Ink

Welcome to This Is Not A Review. In these articles we discuss general impressions, ideas and thoughts on any given game, but as the title implies, it’s not a review. Instead, it’s an exercise in offering a quick recommendation (or dismissal) after spending enough time to grasp the ideas and gameplay of a thing without necessarily playing it from A to Z. The subject of this installment: Dead Ink, developed and published by Offwidth Games.

EARLY ACCESS: Inkbound

HIGH The combat is a uniquely engaging turn-based system that never feels unfair.

LOW Online play is already sparsely populated.

WTF Half the NPCs in the game hate me…


PREVIEW Starship Troopers: Extermination

Backbeat Review

HIGH Petting the dog! Players must pet the dog.

LOW Spending too much time getting Chaz to the sax in “Crouching Bassline, Hidden Saxophone”.

WTF Why do these people take their instruments everywhere?
