Borstal

I strongly disagree with many of the negative reviews. For that I'll probably get thumbs downs on my review, but I stand by my thoughts on this game. For Borstal: You get a quick introduction with a short story, and then you're thrown into the randomly generated map. You can only see one tile in any direction, but each time you move more appear. There are houses, hills, rocks, and other events that come up as you...

I hate this game with all of my heart. RNG slop. No skill required except elementary pattern recognition. Insanely hard ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game. But. Its a good game.

For the price, this is a fairly interesting game. When I first purchased Borstal, it was still in an early stage of development and had many glitches. The mountain scenario, especially, felt very random, and certain events made absolutely no sense. For instance, I recall when if I simply moved, I would die suddenly and without any prior warning; essentially for no reason at all. While there are still some random...
