Excellent Single Player Strategy Adventure Game!! – Elder Sign: Omens HD Review

This is a very well-made and fascinating strategy adventure game for a single player (...made even more fascinating if you are into the creepy crawly Cthulhu Lovecraft saga). It's basically a manipulation of cards, dice and characters who each have their own special abilities. Your mission is to stop an ancient, timeless evil from entering the world. Very, very hard and it just gets harder. It took me about a week to finish the Cthulhu expansion and I was having bad dreams about it during the process! It's a scary, intense, atmospheric and story-based ride with cool art, nice movies and difficult gameplay. The learning curve is about a day and if you like single player story based gaming (I'm a Baldurs Gate type myself...) then you will dig this. Just make sure you have plenty of time to kill because it gets addictive after a while. Just started the Egypt expansion and its been hellishly challenging.
