You will immediately realize that the fact that you're awake doesn't mean that you survived yet.Ĭonversations with other characters are either automatic or in the cut-scenes. And when talking about Bioforge, what a start it is. Although this kind of a start was used so many times in games, movies and stories, it doesn’t seem to fail in making an interesting start. Next thing you know is that you woke up in a cell of some kind not knowing where you are and even more not knowing what you are. You can also see a face with an evil smile starting some sort of an operation. Enough of this general praise, let's go one by one.Ī ship docks on a strange planet and two armoured men carry some guy who can't even walk inside. Naturally, when you play it a little you will see that it is not perfect, but there was no major fault that could bring down the entire impression. The next step was Bioforge.Įverything about this game seemed incredible when it was released: graphics, gameplay and especially the atmosphere. The next step was the same effect but with realistic design. The first one was the famous Ecstatica, where the design of the characters was based on ellipsoid and very realistic movement. So, it was just a question of time before some game’d make a serious improvement in this area. It was much more like a robot than like the man. One of them (and perhaps the most important since the story and atmosphere were great) was the movement of the character.

And usually there will be another game that will make that category even more popular. As soon as that kind of game is released, you can tell that in no time there will be hundreds of "clones" and "look-alikes". There was always a unique game that would make a small revolution and start the whole new category of video-games, the one that is the very first of the kind.
