✦ AI summary

Black Skylands: Origins has an interesting concept with land-based gameplay and story that some players enjoy, but frequent airship travel segments with imprecise combat mechanics, tedious resource management, and unclear tutorials create frustrating pacing issues that detract from the experience. Players praise the challenging ARPG elements and concept but cite poor execution in combat responsiveness, healing mechanics, and UI intuitiveness as significant problems. Most reviewers with complaints suggest waiting for improvements rather than recommending purchase at this stage.

Not a game for me. While i quite liked the part on land and was kinda interested in the story, the back and forth between islands and the amount of enemies that star attacking and following your airship are really annoying. You either try to make it to your destination and take the damage or you have to keep stopping to shootm which just takes a LOT of time. The shooting was also very imprecise, sometimes bullets were stopped by something invisible in the way or they just straight up missed even though the enemy was right in front of me. I wasn't allowed to heal or pick up medi kits for some reason so that whole fighting and loosing health thing was not a cool part of the game. I also felt like the tutorial failed to teach me the controls at the right time, as you have to jump/ leap onto your airship or use the grappling hook, but the latter control is only revealed later on. The graphics are quite nice, though and as i already mentioned, i really liked the idea of the story. Would have loved to play the full game to see where it goes but there is too much that just doesn't work for me.

Perfect concept but too many things bog down gameplay. Repair/refuel or rearming the airship is tedious and not intuitive. I love the concept and hope it fixes some major issues. Guess we will see. The hour demo is meh but has potential. Really wanted a game like this. At the moment, I cannot recommend it.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
