Jesteśmy w Polsce przyszłości. Odległej, ale nie jakoś szaleńczo. Świat się zmienił (Trochę taki vibe jak w Powrocie do Przyszłości 2). Latające samochody are a thing. Koty są zakazane. 

Unia Europejska wciąż istnieje w jakiejś formie, federalnej może. Rosja najprawdopodobniej wciąż istnieje. Gdzieś w ciągu ostatnich 100-120 lat wylazło im tam jakieś Ktulhu* I teraz bardziej zajmują się ogarnianiem własnych problemów niż tworzeniem cudzych. Europa odgrodziła ich grubym murem i w zasadzie tyle. Kaliningrad - pardon - Kralovec - należy do Czech. Obvs.

Polska podzielona jest na cztery regiony + niezależną metropolię Warszawa.    

Marchie Zachodnie (ze stolicą w Nieznaniu)

Państwo Licheńskie (ze stolicą w Licheniu)

Moronat (Białystok, mały odgrodzony region w kształcie penisa - trochę jak wioska Asteriksa)

Śląsk (nazwa pending) 

Moronat ma decydujący głos w sporach między Państwem Licheńskim a Marchiami Zachodnimi, więc politycy obu stanów zabiegają o jego poparcie. Z tego względu Moronat uważa się za ziemię obiecaną i wokół swoich granic wybudował mur mający powstrzymać nielegalnych imigrantów. Marchie i Licheńskie pomogły sfinansować budowę żeby im się rednecki po krajach nie rozłaziły. 

Moronat jest jedynym miejscem w Polsce gdzie nie można kupić kebaba. Panuje tam demokracja, co roku wybiera się Wielkiego Morona. Stolica Moronatu jest w Białymstoku. Moronat utrzymuje się z turystyki zagranicznej. Turyści musza podpisać zgodę na bycie obrażonym na tle rasowym, płciowym i religijnym gdyż od czasu wypędzenia ostatniego sprzedawcy kebabów (nawiasem mówiąc białej kobiety po 60tce) w Moronacie nie ma mniejszości na które można zrzucać winę za rzeczy. 

Warszawa jest Niezależną Metropolią, położoną na granicy między Marchiami a Państwem Licheńskim. Nikt ich nie lubi, ale trzymają kasę więc wszyscy udają że są fajni. Niezależna Metropolia uważa się za stolicę sztuki. Myli się. Stolicą Sztuki jest Moronat, gdzie znajduje się Tajna Komuna, do której przeprowadzili się wszyscy artyści z poczuciem humoru. 

Ślązacy pozamykali kopalnie, zrobili w nich głębokie schrony na żywność i serwery, a na hałdach pokopalnianych nawkopywali drzew. Śląsk to teraz zielone płuca polski. Teorie, na temat tego, co się stało są różne**. Marchie twierdzą, że to zasługa ich edukacji. Licheń, że to Maryja. Moronat chuja to obchodzi. 

W Nieznaniu pod Kaponierą znajduje się Axis Mundi - Oś Wszechwiata. Fakt ten niezmiennie wkurwia Warszawę, więc publicznie się o tym nie mówi.

*Jak dowiadujemy się z powieści, Ctulhu, które rozlazło się po Rosji to szkielety. Okazuje się, że odkrycie sekretów nieśmiertelności jest both a gift and a curse ¯\_(ಠ_ಠ)_/¯   

** Z powieści dowiadujemy się, że Śląsk przygotował się na Wojny Szkieletów bo jako pierwszy odkrył co zaszło w Rosji

Gothic 1 – under the sphere

So, it was over a steam sales, about a sometime ago. With my new PC – it is first such sales. So, it is a special event for me. I take a lots of games. So, also a retro games. So, I take by sales Gothic. A whole pack. First three parts.

So, it is some connection with first gothic. So, I have remembered, how my brother buys this game, a very good edition with this game. So, it was two cd. And game do not run at Pentium 2 machine. So, it should be not enough of 8 mb video memory. And, game can be started - but too much freeze. Too much to play. And, it is a good to see from a first sigh, that it is a 3d role playing game. Everything is in full 3d. And, I guess, it is very well-done game with a big details. Some world under a magic sphere. It is everything I know. And as it is in good role playing game - everything has some details – dialogues, battles. And I heard, that game has its own way of control hero, very specific control.

And, now I have already in my steam collection three parts of Gothic. I start first one. And I like its graphic from a first time. It is good enough. So, I think, it was added resolution for steam and maybe something else. But it looks rather good. Graphic is beautiful. World is interesting. So, it is a thing, I can say at once.

We are sent with special message into the world under a magic sphere. It is a prison. But, as idea, it is a world. There are some camps here. And, lots of place for adventure, as I get it. It is standalone government is there under the sphere. Better to say, three fractions. So, I think, there are three fractions there. In this place, they get ore from mines and some stuff and send it to the upper world. Above magic sphere. And from upside - all goods are going in exchange. It is a logic.

It is started with a road. And you can look around. Big map. And we go through mountains, there is some little plain. And you can get that game has a big world. And with details to explore. You can do different things. You can collect grass, search items, check chests. There is iron sword near a tree, you can take it.  If to look carefully. I do not find it at first time. Explore - it is a big part of a game.

And I am surprised with dialogs. They are very variative. Lots of information you can get from them. They are with voice. And even with Russian voice. It is a very big level of details in the world. It is not surprise, that Gothic was a very popular game. And it is a legend of role playing games. For those, who likes details in game with talks, explore and battles. Like Fallout 2, Baldur’s Gate. Every such game is good in its own way. And Gothic is done – by its own way. And it is interesting to explore what is going on here.

And we meet two hunters. And you can speak with them. To ask questions. They ask for items in exchange with advices. They can teach you skills. And some ostrich something like enemies. Rather simple enemy. You can get some experience. As it should be in a complex RPG.  World is amazing.

So, later we are in a camp. So here we have even more to speak. Characters. You can speak almost with everyone. And several of them will say to you something valuable or interesting. So, it is already going quests, some small quests. Some, they have in a camp - some mysterious swamp humans. Ktulhu something, they have in a swamp.  And I am in camp near a castle. And there is fraction, that select as a god, they worship some swamp creature. And they can see it in their dreams. And everyone thinks that these people from swamps are mad.

There is change of day and night. Very smooth. And I even do not take into account, that I was already in the night time.  So, I can say, that my first attempt was you see the game. Game is big. With its own fantasy medieval.

Every time I look at the independent gaming scene, the trend is to be heavily influenced by another game and create something different based on it. The results are that a big chunk of these productions plays the pixel-art card, chiptune music, or bank heavily on the mood of the game and its story instead of going nuts with development cycles. However, some diamonds in the sand emerge from time to time, without even expecting it, including Metropolis: Lux Obscura now available on all major platforms.

Before we get started, note that this is yet another game from Sometimes You, which thrives on publishing small independent games on the major platform. After getting good buzz among PC players on the Steam platform last year, Ktulhu Solutions’ release on consoles is here as mainly as a port with a reduced price range of just 8$. But then, what do you expect for such a small price?

Well, it’s simple, this adventure game from Ktulhu Solutions is a sort of interactive comic-book merged with Match 3 gameplay mechanics. In fact, scenes with bubbles and boxes are only cinematics, varied and drawn with a Sin City style brush where the only color poping is red in a black and white canvas. Concretely, you will have to travel on the map of the game via a menu in top view, by choosing in which location of the city you wish to go and advance throughout the story. Metropolis: Lux Obscura’s story is one of Jon Lockhart, a criminal who finally got out of jail, after being wrongfully sentenced for the murder of his best friend. His journey to find answers will take him to a strip club, a dark alley, a mafia boss’ restaurants and many other places in which it is better not to poke its nose, especially when everyone seems to have some sort of beef with you.

The cutscenes are numerous and, in addition to offering an absolutely sumptuous artistic direction that the fans of Sin City, Max Payne or even The Wolf Among Us will absolutely like. But heads up, this is not really a game to be played in public or for kids, as some scene are quite “raunchy”, with a couple of animated sex scenes, and some extremely oversexualized woman which is part of the art direction (which you can see in the screenshots above). In terms of music, Metropolis: Lux Obscura is paired with a fitting jazz-influenced soundtrack even if it seems a bit repetitive. But at least it doesn’t affect the gameplay, which on its own is a bit too simple for my own taste.

As you most likely guessed from the setting of the story, you will have to fight your way in this city rotten by corruption, and this is where the game will probably lose a good part of the general public. Battles and brawls in the game are solved with a Match 3 way, on the same principle as a Bejeweled or Puzzle Quest, which are not so bad. To tell you the truth, I easily got the gist of it, as the system is quite simple where you need to align 3 and more tiles which will then do a combat attack on your opponents, and hopefully reduce his life points while protecting yours with other matches. The only concern is that the thugs to fight in question are always stronger than you in terms of damage done and health, which adds a challenge but still manageable. There is though extra side RPG element to the game, as each successful fight won will let you activate one of 12 different passive abilities, which activate randomly with RNG mechanics, such as “flicking the bird” which will push your opponent to miss his turn.

Nevertheless, and even with some difficult fights against 3 enemies in a row, it only took me 2-3 hours to complete the game and watch every single one of the four endings. Each ending is different, linked to your progress in the game, but the outcome is quite the same. Considering the price range, I think that’s a bit short of a lifespan when bigger ones are just a dollar more expensive.

  Metropolis: Lux Obscura was reviewed using a Nintendo Switch digital download code of the game provided by Sometimes You. The game is also available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita and PC via digital release. We don’t discuss review scores with publishers or developers prior to the review being published (click here for more information about our review policy).

While the recipe is different with its noir-style comic storytelling, Metropolis: Lux Obscura is just a simple Match 3 that ends quite fast. For the price asked, I can't really recommend this game. Every time I look at the independent gaming scene, the trend is to be heavily influenced by another game and create something different based on it.
