You are one of the Shapers, wizards with the awesome power to create life. Want a tool, a trap, an army? You summon it into existence. You create mighty beasts, and they totally obey you. Usually.

    But your people have grown lazy and complacent, and a threat has appeared. Your creations are no longer content to serve you. You are lost in a wild, savage mountain range. A rebellion is growing there, and it offers you awesome power if you join.
    Will you use your powers to destroy the rebels or aid them? Bring peace or lead them to war? The choices are all yours!

    Geneforge 2 – Infestation brings to life comfortable RPG memories of clustering around your CRT monitor in the small hours, deciding to investigate one further map area for that clue or NPC you are looking for. The game provides an engaging world with a unique setting and outlook despite its graphical and UI foibles. Slipping back into this level of retro comfort will be easy for a core part of the game’s audience. For the rest, the frayed edges and old holes might just be enough to put you off committing to this particular brand.

  1. By the time you’ve begun to appreciate these nuances and story synergies, you’ll have long since seen past Geneforge 2’s visual shortcomings, the UI that fails to upscale with higher resolutions, and the goofy main menu with its frankly teenage animated cursor. Even if Baldur’s Gate 3 triggers a renaissance age for the western RPG, Spiderweb Software’s output will be unignorable so long as it delivers such a distinct flavour of wry, complex, and open ended roleplaying. Long may Vogel be in vogue. [RPS Bestest Bests]
