I quite enjoyed it. My experience was quite relaxing, but it could be that different paths have more danger and drama. I'll wishlist the full game, but not sure if I'll buy it.

Игра 'Wanderlust: Bangkok Prelude' приятно удивила своей атмосферой и вниманием к деталям. Сюжет, хоть и не отличается особой глубиной, подается довольно интересно, с колоритными персонажами и небольшими, но увлекательными головоломками. Отдельно хочется отметить визуальный стиль - Бангкок передан очень узнаваемо, со всеми его контрастами и яркими красками. Геймплей довольно прост, но приятный, особенно если вы любите point-and-click приключения. Управление интуитивно понятное, интерфейс не перегружен лишними элементами. Музыкальное сопровождение хорошо подобрано и создает нужное настроение. Конечно, игра не лишена недостатков. Некоторые диалоги кажутся немного затянутыми, а анимация могла бы быть и лучше. Тем не менее, общее впечатление остается положительным. Это отличная возможность окунуться в атмосферу Бангкока, разгадать пару загадок и просто приятно провести время. Рекомендую всем любителям жанра и тем, кто интересуется культурой Таиланда.

A well presented interactive travelogue. Mostly reading with a few images and a relaxing soundtrack. I was pleasantly surprised by how easily I became immersed in the story. Recommended if you've travelled or wish that you could.

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.

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 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.
