Leviathan Wilds · English edition, second printing · (2025)
Your rating:
I have never played Shadow of the Colossus, so no nostalgia here. 2026 After 5 plays: So many rave reviews can't be wrong? And they probably aren't. I think I am just sick of a certain type of cooperative game that is very ??? I can't quite put my finger on it but it feels very rote. There is a certain relationship here with the pandemic formula but it has iterated even more than Tesseract. The different map scenarios should be exciting. And I think I enjoyed this game right after I got it more than I do now that my crowdfunding excitement has died down. The thing that I am not enjoying is the mechanics not feeling like a game somehow. Just execution of commands. This is nothing at all like taking a turn in a game like Gloomhaven and it suffers from the same lack of excitement I feel on combat in Sleeping Gods. Definitely needs more plays to help me understand if this is a game for me. But I really don't want to right now. I can't quite say why except that this last play bored me out of my mind and consequently I lost. Rating: 5
