Geneforge 5: Overthrow Review

The editors over at Macworld have taken a closer look at Spiderweb Software's latest entry in the long-running Geneforge series. The indie RPG takes home a 3/5, along with this conclusion:
You have to give Spiderweb credit the Geneforge series goes toe-to-toe with bigger publishers and humbly, but adeptly delivers quality gameplay and story. At $28, it won't cost you much to check out. The hint book costs an additional $7 through Spiderweb's online store, which is quite helpful for some of the more difficult puzzles and if you want to learn how to unlock some of the different endings. Geneforge 5: Overthrow is definitely a niche game, and therefore hard to recommend to a wide audience. If you enjoy deep, long RPGs with a complex storyline and love old-school turn-based combat then Geneforge 5 will make you nostalgically satisfied, like watching an old 80s movie would. If you're a casual gamer, not an RPG fan, or don't have several days to invest to understanding the Shaper society, then you've probably stopped reading this review paragraphs ago.
