B-17 Flying Fortress : The Mighty 8th Redux

not liking it, ancient, way over priced, just a battle to try play the thing

The game is janky but I wouldn't say that it's bad. the AI does sometimes feel like it's copy and pasted from the original 2000 game and while it isn't the prettiest graphically (apart from maybe the bomber itself) it gets the job done. Gameplay wise I would say it is as advertised. You fly to your target and try not to get shot down by flak or enemy fighters (maybe shoot down some fighters yourself if you're lucky), then you drop your payload and try to get your aircraft home with all ten crewmembers alive. However be aware that this can get repetetive quite quickly. I would conlude that if you are looking for a game about the flying fortress the game is worth a try, though waiting for a sale isn't a bad idea as the 15 euro price point is a bit steep.

B-17 Flying Fortress: The Mighty 8th Redux This is a nostalgic game for me. I remember growing up with the original version of the game, so it brings me joy to have seen the game getting a "remaster", or at the very least, a touch-up. As a child, I always remembered this game being ruthless. It still is. Moreso in this redux. One bad engine and you're screwed, you're done for. This is rather irritable at times. Nevertheless, it makes a successful mission all the more rewarding. You've gotten a better feel for what the real heroic bomber crews went through with this simulator. 7/10

Really like what you have done to upgrade game. It seems my P-47 pilots like their whiskey too much, they never make it off the ground. The new update 1.0.21, I cannot run game in detail. It locks up and still pauses when running in balanced. I have 8gb ram and 4gb video card. Is it time for me to upgrade my computer?

Unfortunately, since the last update, the game has quite a few graphical issues: the ground renders incorrectly, and glitches occur. Bombers also display visual artifacts in certain areas when viewed up close. The game still requires a lot of polishing.

I wanna like it, I really do. When it works, it's a good bit of nostalgic fun. But, it often bugs out something terrible, wasting all the time you spent on a mission, just to try again and hope whatever bug pissed it off doesn't happen again.
