Not Quite For Me – Globosome: Path of the Swarm Review

3 stars for being so beautiful, but for me this was a 'Jack of All Trades, Master of None'. A little of this and a little of that done 'okay' on a stunning background. The physics were excellent at times and not so at others. Sometimes you explore, but once I finally figured out what to do, it was so simple there was no reason to explore any more - which was the fun aspect of it. Then later you're led around by the nose, and passing through any challenging areas feels more like luck than skill. I understand the underlying theme and concept from the film, but as to translating that to a game I feel it failed. The events and any goals set forth seemed to be erratic and random in their placement and execution, leaving the concept undefined, and causing it to feel unsatisfying at the end of each level. I found it to be simplistic in the way that each moment was more of an individual disconnected action. This was not a game that flows and builds upon itself, with continuity and well-placed momentum and goals. I was hoping for something relaxing and thought-provoking, but found myself feeling simply frustrated and unsatisfied.
