✦ AI summary

Imperius draws players in with its visually impressive space battles and Homeworld-like appeal, but the game suffers from abandoned development, unfinished mechanics, awkward controls, and a shallow barebones gameplay system that fails to deliver on its ambitious promises. While some players enjoy it casually with friends, the lack of meaningful content, missing campaign mode, and dead multiplayer make it difficult to recommend even at a discount. The consensus suggests waiting to see if development resumes, though many are skeptical it ever will.

"Imperius" is one of those books you don't judge by the cover. This looks better than the underlying game, which raises the suspicion that the game assets may not have been created by the developer, which would be a problem. What you do get here is a shallow and simplistic barebones space battle system, a case of being crazy overambitious as yet another amateur developer bites off way more than he can chew. What do you do in the game? You're stuck with limited PvP (completely dead) and basic deathmatch vs AI gameplay as the developer was unable to come up with the promised game campaign... certainly I feel bad for anyone who paid money for this with the expectation the developer would deliver. If you're looking for a Homeworld type space RTS, this isn't it. I'm not sure if this is an asset flip, but it's one of those cases where the assets just look much better than the rest of the quality of the game... a glaring inconsistency. There's no evidence, but as always, the biggest problem with asset flips besides the plagiarism is the deplorably low quality of the other aspects of the game, and even if the game assets are genuinely created for the game, the quality of the rest o…

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.
