Critic Reviews
Conglomerate 451
Which sums up my feelings toward the entire game in fact. It’s not that it’s broken or even bad, it just isn’t very fun. A game like this that is essentially all systems, with an inherently thinner veil of context dressing up those systems, needs to nail that X factor that makes it tactile and addictive to play. In over twenty hours of playing the game, the only feelings of reward came from things explicitly labeled rewards – experience points, loot, character promotions, various unlocks. Things that every game of this type has, often in addition to the game being satisfying to play at the core.

Despite a nice aesthetic in the missions and a handful of interesting concepts, Conglomerate 451 just doesn’t do quite enough to stand out and be noticed.
