Just finished this game, well worth the £12 on steam. Frustrating but in a good way, if that makes sense. :wink:

I do what I think is right. But I don't think that what I think is right can not be wrong.

Always on DRM is sorta removed from the game in a recent patch.

Still, I curse anyone who ever buys a game for more than 1 dollar with DRM on it.

CURSE YOU!

Anyway, it's probably a nice game but if I had the time I would go for the new Deus Ex game. That looks brilliant! Also Guild Wars 2 looks like a very nice alternative to the daily grind that dares to call itself "WoW".

The DRM never bothered me, its a shame it only effects paying customer as the cracked version doenst have it.

The second to last level was really frustrating, but also satifying once Id cracked it.

You could kind of tell it was developed for console though.

If you keep paying for DRM games they will keep adding it. And you're helping that :)

I'll keep on pirating, happily ever after.

So can you explain a lil about the game? I don't fully understand the concept.

Each level had 1 - 4 totems and 1 - 2 protection totems, the idea is to build vilages and worship at each toem to open up a portal to the next level.

You are "the breath" and you can grab, sand, water, lava and trees and gain extra powers to manipulate the volatile land.

typically the level will occasionly flood or have an earth quake and you have to deal with the fall out, keeping the totems protected etc. Using exploding trees and lava to build channels for streams and stuff is good fun.

I enjoyed it despite the poor control systems, but again mainly because it was designed for xbox controller which is a shame.
