[quote][b]Note: Dead PvP game[/b] This game contains no meaningful single player content. There's no viably populated servers/active player population. This game cannot be played as intended.[/quote] [quote][b][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microtransaction]Warning: In-Game Cash Shop[/url][/b] This game is infested with a toxic mobile app style cash shop. You will be prompted to and expected to give money/credit card details to the developers through this cash shop to buy in-game goods so you can play the game.[/quote] At face value, when you get into Favor Chess (and do nothing because there are no players), you might think this was just another attempt from an amateur developer to "fix" all the problems with Chess. And we know, every single time an amateur developer tries to do this, that Chess doesn't have any problems that need to be fixed. But then you get into it and see it's just another garbage cash shop with a game stapled onto it. If you do try to play this, which you can't really, it's full of bugs, lacks polish, and has a weak technical delivery (moght as well be a browser game). The way the developer tried to "fix" Chess here was by adding lots of pieces …

Playtest your game. Some units are broken and turn the game into a chore. One perfect example is the Pharoah abomination, it will permanentaly escape and will make checkmates practically impossible. Since there are no players around, I play against AI and AI doesn't forfeit. It will just permanently move its piece around so no checkmate is possible.

Игра 'Favor Chess' – это свежий взгляд на классические шахматы! Механика "милостей" добавляет непредсказуемости и стратегической глубины. Вместо стандартных ходов можно использовать ограниченное количество "милостей", чтобы, например, переместить фигуру противника, защитить свою или даже воскресить уничтоженную. Сначала это кажется странным, но быстро понимаешь, что это открывает совершенно новые тактические возможности и усложняет игру разы, требуя мыслить за пределами обычных шахматных шаблонов. Визуальное оформление минималистичное, но приятное, не отвлекает от игрового процесса. Интерфейс интуитивно понятен, быстро осваиваешься. Играть можно как с ИИ, так и с другими игроками онлайн, что делает её отличным вариантом для коротания времени и для серьёзных шахматных баталий. ИИ предлагает разные уровни сложности, так что подстроиться под свой уровень подготовки не составит труда. В целом, "Favor Chess" – это отличное приобретение для любителей шахмат, которые хотят попробовать что-то новое и более динамичное. Рекомендую!

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Games like Slay the Spire that keep the branching climb

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

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.
