So… did this transform into a "rough gem" in the end? Or should I keep on avoiding?

still a shit

I can't remember now who exactly made a review saying 1/10 game which started the avalanche of negative reviews from people who didn't even touch it. Was it IGN or Gamespot? Whatever.

It's not 1/10 game. When on sale, I say buy it.

I wouldn’t touch this game with Joxers mouse.

Is Reality Pump dead or not!? It's like there's no heartbeat but the body just keeps twitching!

On sale on Steam for ~$20NZD so have taken a punt and grabbed a copy.

Have no expectations of greatness but will be interesting to compare it to any of the Risen series.

May write a few comments later after I've played a bit…

Even if good there are better games for less.

Last time I tried it, it was awful. I might check it out again.

Just gave it a go for two hours. The "tutorial" is awful (I mean, REALLY bad), but the game really gets better after that.
Certainly no masterpiece, but I get the impression the game is actually pretty enjoyable. Buy only at the current price, don't buy this at full release cost.

Hmmm, time to give it another shot - I guess. I love Pirate games, so….

Picked it up and you know.. this seems like it might be ok…
