Citizens of Earth



A jrpg-like that tries to be inovative with very nice ideas:

- A crazy story: We're the President of Earth and have to deal with the daily citizen problems in form of quests.

- Turn-based combat with a "combo point" system with abilities that generate points and other abilities that spend them.


- Lots of recruitable characters with unique skills in combat and also out of combat perks like the "breadman" that will sell you... bread of course.

But everything falls appart because of how the game is designed, it is not fun to progress through the game and I think it is because it has a bad pace and poor level design. In the end it becomes the typical game plenty of delivery quests in a plain scenario like many modern rpgs.

Graphics are 2D and I have no complains here, same with music and sound.



Did I like it? Got bored after 2 hours, and after 6 hours I hated it.
I think you will like it if you:
- Haven't played many rpgs

I rate my experience with a 3 out of 10.

Grand Theft Auto 5


I definitelly don't like the Grand Theft Auto saga anymore.

I started with IV and I'm feeling the same way with V, the world is awesome and Rockstar puts a lot of attention on all the details, I even have a cinema to watch original (short) movies!



The characters are very unique and well developed too, but the big bad thing for me is the progression through the story because I found most of the missions very boring, I was driving for most of the mission length where nothing exciting happened, this kills the pace for me. The only missions I really loved where the heists and there are very few of them and I still hated the preparation missions (more driving...)



So no more GTA for me, I have more fun playing Sleeping Dogs and Saints Row games.

For the trolls: I did finish the game and all the optional events/missions (took me 10 hours per character).

Did I like it? I liked some characters and exploring the world, but not the "main game".
I think you will like it if you:
- Aren't tired of the GTA formula.

I rate my experience with a 4.5 out of 10.
