Searching for Godus on Steam now brings up another game, Idol HandsCashing in on the flurry of enthusiasm users showed for Godus, back when it was first announced? Like Godus, it is inspired by Populous and is claimed to be "reviving the god game genre". It looks like a bit more of a straight-forward RTS. |

Deriously? I mean, what the fuck? Why does everyone trying to make their own God game fuck up their controls so much? Black & White 2 has camera controls right. They had it perfect. Why do I, the player, have to suffer through the Mims or this bullshit?
Not to mention that isn't the only flaw in this game. This one, just like the Mims, is not just childish, but shallow as well. There is no complexity nor strategy.
It's the first time ever I think that B&W 2 was actually very good.

Thanks for that. It's a painfully boring video to watch (I do not recommend it unless anyone has literally nothing better to do) but it gives a preview of the game at least.
Idol Hands has now been available on Steam for about a day, and the review consensus is presently "mostly negative" which is a shame. People are calling it better than Godus but still a really shitty game with a poor interface, graphics from 15 years ago and less than three hours of playtime to complete. Judging by the video above, about 40 minutes of that playtime is spent listening to irritating, overly detailed voice-overs during the tutorial.
The pricetag is £15, currently discounted by 15%. I won't be picking this one up.

Watched 20 minutes of this here, if you want a shorter take on it, and as Crumpy Six and morsealworth mention, it's pretty mindnumbing. The only positives it has that I can sort of see are that it has the right ideas but the dullest executions possible. Black & White 2 really did it better, even though it has its pitfalls (like no land deformation and clumsy military control) as well. Nobody knows what to do with god games anymore, unless they're recreating Populous like Electrolyte did with Reprisal. |
