"BO020880" is not a game, it's an e-book that's been dumped on Steam masquerading as a game. As a visual/interactive novel, this doesn't feature any notable gameplay, it's just a lot of clicking through badly written dialogue that would never have been accepted or published in print, which poses the question, "How did something this badly written end up on Steam?". Normally these Steam e-books are basic fan-fictions the author has written about his imaginary girlfriend. Instead, here, we have a well meaning but hamfisted attempt to journalise (and perhaps get famous for) a real world tragic political attack. Whether we may or may not agree with the cause, it's my firm belief that politics of any kind has no place in gaming. Because the primary purpose of this product is totally unrelated to gaming, this really just makes gaming worse, and does nothing to further the developers political cause, no matter how valid that may be. Visual novels/e-books are tedious at best... imagine the best novel you ever read, be that Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy or 2001: A Space Odyssey or Twilight (if you have terrible taste in literature), but then translate that to a format where the word…

Игра 'BO020880' – это захватывающий опыт, сочетающий в себе элементы стратегии и ролевой игры. Изначально может показаться сложной для освоения из-за обилия механик и достаточно глубокой системы прокачки персонажа, но потраченное время на обучение окупается с лихвой. Сюжет, хоть и не является откровением жанра, вполне увлекателен и держит в напряжении до самого конца. Особенно хочется отметить дизайн уровней – каждый из них уникален и предлагает различные тактические возможности. Графика, возможно, немного устарела, но стилизация это компенсирует. Музыкальное сопровождение отлично дополняет атмосферу и добавляет эпичности происходящему. Из минусов: встречаются незначительные баги и иногда не хватает подсказок по развитию навыков. В целом, 'BO020880' – достойная игра для любителей жанра, способная затянуть на многие часы. Рекомендую попробовать, если не боитесь вызовов!
