To keep the people alive you need to provide them with some basic needs such as habitable land

God game giant made its appearance in 2013 on the PC. The game was developed by Abbey Games, a developer of Dutch descent. The world may start and you're the boss. Time to blow the earth new life into the giant review.

Reus you take charge of four giants that can together determine how the world will look like. Each giant has its own strengths in order to influence the earth and its surface, each in their own way. The object of the game is to create a better world for humanity, one of the few parts of the game where you have no control over.

To keep the people alive you need to provide them with some basic needs such as habitable land, food, technology and prosperity. You do not do that by just some fruit trees and some animals to throw on the planet. These will have to be placed tactically. And that the giants do so for you.

The Forest, Rock, Marsh and Ocean Reus all have their own strengths to influence the surface of the planet. As the Rock Giant mountains can call and ocean Giant can, indeed, make oceans. By experimenting with all the forces of the giants you can create a variety of surfaces, each with their own features.

Very much at once
It is advisable to start with the tutorial. In three chapters the main elements of the game are explained to you. And that you need, because Reus system can be enormously tough for a beginner. In a very short time there will be much the player off it's all a bit overwhelming.

Food, wealth, technology, minerals, symbioses, specializations, and so on. Several forces all do something different. It's just a lot of information to take in in one go. Make sure you at least keep your concentration there, because it takes a while to put all the pieces together.

Fortunately, it seems that the developers know this. Each step you explain what is expected of you and what may be the consequences of certain choices. Let one thing be clear: This game do not you learn just by reading a manual. Experimentation is really the key Reus.

More, more, more!
If you have the basis of Reus have a little below the knee, it's time to get started with an empty planet. It is incumbent on you to give people a home. By ensuring raw human will mention a spot on your planet 'home' and then the trouble really begins.

Each village on your planet has a mind of her own and behaves like humans do: greedy. If you give a settlement for many commodities, the people actually want to just more. More resources, more land, and then the problems really begin.

So your task to populate the world as tightly as possible without the settlements will walk beside their shoes. Continuously you are concerned with controlling and customizing your planet. Here the power of Reus is actually: the opportunity to try everything.

Every time something new
Because there are plenty of combinations to test what works best for your planet and the settlements on your planet. In achieving goals in settlements you get the chance to link an ambassador to a giant. Linking gives your giants a new skill. The linking of different ambassadors to different giants therefore gives various forces.

By combining all these forces again with different powers you will get plenty of opportunities to keep as satisfied as possible the people on your planet. By keeping your people happy and to assist them with the completion of projects in their villages, you play more and more opportunities free to play the game in a different way. In this way, Giant does not have to stop after a time to build a successful planet.

You get the opportunity again to do something new after each successful potty. Giant here makes good use of to hold the player and let him or her anyway restart. If you're reading this, then it seems like there is so a lot heading your way. And that is true and therefore you Reus best compared with a book.

Sometimes you have to fight through the early going, but once you know the characters, then you are eager to go further with it. Therefore it is a pity that Reus is difficult to get in, because by the looks looks like a game with a low entry.

What cuties! Fortunately
The world you play in is through the cartoonty-feel enormously appealing. The Giants are a feast for the eyes. Once you zoom in on the gigantic friends see what kind of detail they are designed. They feel great, but preferably would they want to give a big hug.

it is possible to bite through the sour apple of difficulty thanks to the friendly, sweet style of game. A sullen dark game would be closed the same. The first impression you are positive about the game and want it like a second, third or maybe even give a fourth chance.

Not ideal for consoles
And perhaps those opportunities are also needed however, as soon becomes clear that Reus is clearly designed for keyboard and mouse rather than a controller. Basically the controller works fine, but as soon Reus more you expect, the control can sometimes be a problem. Suddenly denotes accidentally in a menu where you have no business or have you lost the overview about which menu you are. A problem that does not know the PC version of the game.

Accidental countries into the wrong menus has led several times until quite some irritation. Navigating through the menus, the giants and the forces of the giants requires some experience with the game, but is not as obvious as you might actually want.

One solution is to pause the game and give you an assignment giants quietly, without making hasty decisions. Not an ideal solution, but at least one solution to create smoother and more relaxed playing the game.
