Aug 15, 2023Gord interprets the construction genre differently. It relies on story instead of complexity, with all the strengths and weaknesses that entails.
-
Aug 15, 2023With its controls much more suited to the PC than to consoles, Gord is not without flaws in terms of ergonomics and readability, but it largely makes up for it with its tortured atmosphere at will. Survival in a dark fantasy world populated by nightmares is a long succession of tests and crucial choices, especially when madness awaits our units with each new incursion into darkness. Too bad that the strategic stakes impose permanent vigilance on the management side because this is done a little to the detriment of exploration and adventure.

Aug 15, 2023Gord wanted to be a beacon by reinventing the strategy genre with unique mechanics taken here and there from the videogame industry, but it ultimately falls flat on its task, demonstrating to be a really good game, but not achieving the greatness it was hoping for.
-
Aug 15, 2023For all the interesting and novel things that Gord brings to the city building genre, it's just not coherent nor determined enough in what it's trying to do to create something with the necessary confidence to compete with the countless options available to genre fans these days. The result is a game with a strong start and a compelling world, but one that cannot build upon those strengths to retain interest over each new settlement and its repetitive gameplay.

Aug 24, 2023Gord wants you think that it is a very different RTS, but once you get into it, you find out all those differences are superficial. Still, if you want to relive the Witcher atmosphere in a RTS, check it out, but also prepare yourself to be bored.

Aug 15, 2023Gord succeeds in painting a dark and gritty picture of a group of people surviving against the odds in a dangerous environment. The Horrors are fantastic, but small niggles and big frustrations dampen the enjoyment somewhat.

Aug 15, 2023Any way you look at it, whether it’s an RPG, a real-time strategy game, or a colony sim, Gord is as miserable as its downtrodden villagers. Other games are bad because they aim too high, attempt too much, and fall down on their own merits. They are at the very least hoisted on their own petard, doing us the favor of digging their own grave or being entertaining in their failures. Gord does not; it simply falls flat and rots where it lies, surrounded by monotonous micromanagement, a poor interface, and by-the-numbers combat. I am content to leave it there, but you may bury it if you like.
