#Geneforge 5 recipes series

The first two games were much better about teaching you the capabilities of artilas, vlish, spinecores, spawners, and so forth before dumping you into a pitched battle. Not so much because of the difficulty as because of the traditions.

Oh, and Alwan and Greta were transparently the Loyal Guy and the Rebel Girl, so much so that they're both major commanders of their respective sides in GF4.ДЇinally, the series is getting increasingly newbie-hostile. There was no real way to play the sides against each other, like in GF1, and you certainly couldn't do an end-run to the final zone like in GF1. The multiple islands were obviously chapter breaks, where you had to complete one Big Shaper Objective or a Big Rebel Objective then go on to the next tileset. Other than some much-needed interface tweaks, the game simply felt flat. I personally found GF3 just to be boring and uninspired. I think the Geneforge games have only gotten better as time has gone on. I would actually say the game is of average difficulty, it's just that the first two games are easy! I beat Geneforge 3 without any canisters and only used Gamefaqs to remember alchemy recipes I never bothered to write down. Why the hate? Is it because it's too difficult for average players? Many parts were difficult, but being hard is much better than being flaccid, and I think the earlier Geneforge games were too easy at times. It has well balanced elemental damage, the island system seems to help Jeff create immersive environments by working on a theme (ice, desert, etc), the boss fights are very well designed, the two factions are both fleshed out (not kitchen sink syndrome that the second game's 4 factions had), the character classes are balanced, the equipment and armor system and inventory are far better than before, the writing and story are great, and the crafting system allows much more customization than before. Lets face it, it's the best of the first 3 (the ones I have played so far).
