Scenario is Cool.
TruckdriverButters
The world is obviously thought out, a lot of characters even if they are all pretty unidimensional, I appreciate the Kubrick reference starting out, even if it feels out of place. But the thing is... The author is to in love with the scenario, some of the choices simply don't seem to matter, characters (dragon-lady) are just thrown in there and spout backstory for no reason and unasked, I hit the paywall and quit, so I don't know if the game gets really good after that. If you're looking for that Noir fix, this isn't it.
Reasonable for publication
Unidraconus
This is another one of those app books that in the days of my youth would have been printed and picked up by me from the local library. It's good enough to be published and read and enjoyed but it is very basic. It's a bland story that lacks emotional connection to the reader and depth of character and atmosphere. Plus as with all choice games a short short ending. I didn't care enough to re-read the story but still have it for the next time I need a timer killer app to read. Ages 8-13 would enjoy this book more then most I think.
Disappointing
Abby Lizz
I'm kind of regretting buying it, honestly. There are much, MUCH better COGs out there, and I would recommend most of them over this one any day.
Amazing and replayable

I've played this "game" over and over to try and get the best ending. I love these types of games and I love the replayability aspect you get from these types of games that you don't get from books or video games. There's something about the hybrid between the two that strikes a perfect balance.
Okay but not as enjoyable when it goes to second half
Vincent Luong
This is the second COG game I have played. I think this is not a must-play game. The story is kinds of strange at the second half and defiantly not as catchy as the beginning. It is okay to play with but there are other better options out there.
How can a game in which you can become a voodoo cyborg dragon be so bland
Magic Kingdom Zeal
Well, because the voodoo cyborg dragon route plays exactly like the plain voodoo route, the plain cyborg route, the bullet-shooting crucifix peg-leg route, and the demon route. Also because the hallucinatory barrage of text you just read follows a dead-serious gangster thriller. I can't tell if we're supposed to presume it's all a dying hallucination or what. What's the point of feeling remorse, feeling no remorse, wallowing in blood, avoiding conflict at every turn, etc. if it's just all going to end in a bizarre mishmash that sounds like a thirteen-year-old's ideal action sequence? Also, in order to get anything other than the Demon ending, you must choose first to go for the kneecaps when captured by the Pitt's men, then save the one choking on his sandwich. He will pass you drugs that will enable you to survive what follows. Having four out of five options locked behind a very specific sequence is... dubious game design. The good part is that you can select your gender, the Bull's, and the Bull's spouse, as well as what career you take up if you make it to Mexico - or decide to take the city instead. That was a satisfying ending. Additionally, the game subverts the usual Chinese-gangsters cliches in most amusing fashion. IF failure wasn't mandatory midgame (leading to the bizarre endgame), IF your behavioral choices made more difference endgame, and IF there wasn't that utterly jarring off-tone sequence in endgame, this would get five stars. Instead... uh... I rate it voodoo cyborg dragon/5. Judge whether or not you'll purchase this game accordingly.
Payments and free things

I wish your games were free like they used to be. It was a lot more enjoyable than having to see “oops the free trial is over. Pay now or you can’t play anymore” it’s a shame and I really wanted to play the rest of this game but you make everything cost money
Meh

Love COG games but this has to be one of the worst ones Ive played over all. It was short, felt like the plot was bland, couldn't even connect to the characters, and I could barely get replays out of it. Honestly if it was free I wouldn't be mad but it just wasn't worth the price.
