JamieSI Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Seems to be the first review? It's a good one anyway! Imagine if you will that you're an indie developer who has decided to quit your previous career to embark on a passion project. That project is to revive and remake a classic game from 15 years ago, one that remains beloved by gamers, yet ignored by the major studios and in danger of fading into obscurity. Buoyed by the support of a fervent if niche community you plough your time and resources into making something that can match the experience you recall from all those years ago, allowing a new generation to experience that same thrill you once did. Then imagine that half-way through your tortuous development cycle the game serving as your inspiration is revived to critical acclaim and commercial success. It beats you to release by over a year. Your response may resemble 'Gosh darnit!' though doubtless ridden with expletives, written in all caps, and followed by half a dozen exclamation marks.

Sarlix Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Nice review! Hopefully it ends up on Metacritic. They have one 8/10 review on there already from a French game site. Only need 3 more http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/xenonauts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Great, thanks. It's always nice to see a good review! EDIT - yeah, that Gamer.nl review will hopefully wind up on metacritic too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giovanni Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Even GAMEmag.it, an italian online magazine, awards Xenonauts with a 4.5/5 stars! link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpelectric Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Wow, what a great review! And I couldn't agree more; we tend to get caught up in endless tiny details here on this forum, and lose sight of the big picture, which is that the overarching concept and execution of Xenonauts is definitely 4.5/5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
