Zarathustra - Cybergeddon

I love it, although the AI voices are a huge turn off.

Not bad at all for a free adventure game. The plot is a little confusing and hard to keep track of if you play this game in numerous small bits rather than one or two sittings, but you can maintain a general idea of what's going on. There are some nice hat-tips to old adventure games. I thought the AI voice "acting" was better than a voice actor reading lines from a page without any context to what's being read, which is usually the case especially for small budget games. And it kept the game free.

I don't really care when some clanker is yapping at me in a skateboarding game but in a point and click with a ton of voiced dialogue it got old really fast.

I'm torn on this one. It is an interesting experiment and showcase of what you can do with AI-tools. If you are familiar with AI-artwork you will recognise the "sloppy" bits and it was quite immersion-breaking in this regard. The game lacked the human touch and polish to feel substancial. It doesnt tip all this way though. It was intriguingly weird and being free I can recommend it for some quick entertainment and a nice opportunity to see a passable use of AI if you are open for it.

The ending was a little abrupt and strange, but the experience and overall story was worth a playthrough. There were some things I feel was unsolved, but maybe they weren't supposed to be solved, or maybe they were, who knows.

The story is good - not great - albeit poorly-written, but the world is at least interesting. It'd be a neat place to explore further, if somebody legitimately expanded upon it.[/code] [list] [*][b][u]Overall Score[/u][/b]: 2/5 [/list] [hr][/hr] [h1][b]Curator: [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/42137521/]Nostalginauts[/url][/b][/h1]
