Crazy in the head, crazy in bed
Probably one of the most true and verified stereotypes, in my experience.
Crazy in the head, crazy in bed
The brain reflects in the bed, what's so unusual about that? Although towards original point about Aerie none of that is true I suppose.Crazy in the head, crazy in bed

Yup, I'm aware of that, as well as translated versions of previous games (known as "Rages of Mages I/II") but they was waaaay less popular than here at the time, at least to my knowledge. Despite the fact that "Rage of Mages" was actually one of the best known titles on west market at thouse times among other games made by russian devs (again, at that time, and before the Space Rangers).Why? It was translated to English.
Yep. That's how you know you're playing Ori.Finished Ori and the Blind Forest. Twice in a row.
The only thing I strongly disagree with - the game really goes out of its way to give you enough information beforehand for all your split second gameplay decisions. Yes, you die and trial and error a lot, but you wouldn't have to if you just were a smidgen faster at evaluating and reacting to changing situation.This means that the game relies on your memorization of the proper sequence of actions, perfectly timed and executed
However, despite the negatives, the positives are so enormous and so much outweigh them that I literally started a new game a day after I already finished it. That is a very rare reaction from me a game has elicited. So on a scale of 1 to 10 of enjoyment and quality, I will give this game 10. It is not perfect of course, but giving it less than 10 would be a disservice and injustice.
Good news. Works just fine on W7.The sequel titled Ori and the Will of the Wisps will apparently be Windows 10 exclusive And I hate that OS.
Pretty good brawling system. One of the few games I know of which let you pick up anything lying around and clobber dudes with it.Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb (2003) with widescreen & xinput controller patches. It's a very nice 3rd person Tomb Raider type game given the full LucasArts AAA treatment. Runs like turd on modern Windows 10 with Nvidia 10 series cards with microstutters galore due to subpar DirectX 8.0 optimizations in newer geforce drivers. Was about to give up because of this until I discovered that you can use the DGVoodoo2 wrapper to make it run like a particularly satisfying wet dream with no stutters. Be sure to uncap the locked 30 FPS framerate to 60 (but no more else you get massive physics farts with the engine) for best enjoyment.
steam version is supposedly more stable (but be sure to install a mod that reverts back some of maps changes).Installed Rune Gold.
This must be the buggiest piece of crap I've ever tried to run. It crashes no matter which renderer I use, including several third party ones and software rendering. And when I get it to work in safe mode the graphics are glitched and I can't even skip the intro.
I also tried Compatibility mode.
It uses the Unreal engine, but Unreal and UT still runs fine for me.
Hammer & Sickle might just be the game that forces me to throw in the towel, auction off my computer, order an Xbox with the new Doom game and concede that "I'm too old for this shit".

Oh hey, I had no idea the guys who made that Evil Islands game you were talking about were actually the Silent Storm (and HOMM V) devs. And now some of them are at Owlcat. They wear many hats, these Russians.Nival, eh?
I can confirm that it has some Typical Modder bullshit in it. Surprisingly enough the writing is all right, which is the last thing I'd expect from Russian modders.MobyGames said:Novik & Co. is not a studio or a company per se, but a creative team that worked on a fan mod/sequel called Hammer & Sickle for S3: Silent Storm - Sentinels. Nival, the original developer, was so impressed that they offered to hire them as subcontractors, join the development and release the product as a full retail game. To date, it is their only project.
