The Precursors Review

Apart from sharing a hilarious list of “Precurslols” with us, PC Gamer has taken it upon themselves to review Deep Shadows’ sci-fi FPS/RPG The Precursors. I haven’t tried the English version myself yet, but based on their biting text and score of 47/100, I’m probably not ever going to.

For a game that I’m about to injure with a smallish number, it reminds me a little of Morrowind. You can spend hours lost among alien worlds, dreamily hunting defenceless trade vessels in space, blissfully ignoring your mission pointers.

The Precursors doesn’t make it compelling. You don’t get new toys to play with. You can’t do anything meaningful with all the cash except stock up on medkits and missiles. You’re left with the urge to play a better space trader like X3: Reunion, or a better sci-fi RPG like Mass Effect 2. Do that instead.
