    Despite being such an iconic and cool setting there are not a lot of War of the Worlds games out there. It would fit perfectly as a strategy game or maybe action adventure, but for some reason not a lot of developers have tried to put it in a game. In 2020 a small studio DID actually try this and the result is Grey Skies. Now though I commend them for finally releasing a game with War of the Worlds as a setting, the game itself unfortunately is quite lacking. The development team consisted of only two people and maybe this project was a bit too ambitious. Though the game is definitely atmospheric, it lacks the most iconic War of the Worlds encounters with the Tripods only being in the game twice. Besides that you mostly have to sneak and avoid zombie type enemies that are not that interesting. Some sections like the walking after the plane crash or driving around at night take a bit too long without anything actually happening. The few tripod sections that the game DOES have are very fun and I just wished the game had more of those.

    Seems like an incredibly empty game. More like a concept demo than a final product. To truly feel the magnitude of an apocalyptic alien invasion there has to be a lot of NPC crowds getting exterminated with you in the middle of it trying to survive. Would make for a balanced adventure of action and stealth based on the different scenarios like we see in the film. This game just feels very off from what i would expect out the this universe. There's a ton of potential here but this should be scrapped and totally redone in my opinion. Still, for a small team this is pretty good work.

      You should check out the new war of the worlds game that'll be coming out next year, it's pretty sick. The aliens and machines act just like how they do in the movie, but it's an open world survival game.

      To be fair this game was made by two people. It's hard to make a good game by yourself without any funding. The fact that 2 people made this game as good as it is, is impressive.

    It is sad that the game is lacking, because if this is the labour of just two people they deserve an applause just for the sheer effort it must have taken.
    Still, completely agree on the lack of games for the setting,given that it could be an interesting take on surival, strategy etc. More so when there are things like the fake documentary "The Great Martian War" or the "War of the Worlds: Goliath" animated movie.

      Yeah, you can see that they meant well, but it was simply too ambitious. I definitely also will do a video with commentary on it soon to give some more of my thoughts. This was simply footage for if I review it. It's a shame that the setting isn't used so much. I own XCOM the Bureau but never have played it. I guess that is kinda close to that feeling? Though it doesn't have tripods, it has the older setting and aliens invading. Might give that a try next.

    This game really just ended up being like those ads for mobile games you see on youtube. Shows you a kick ass game only to have the ACTUAL game be anything but. This was a complete waste of $14 USD. You only really encounter the tripods a couple times throughout the whole game.

    so much potential for this game to be great. and the genre really needs it. but it seems like it has an abusive overuse of "music" for "mood setting" and "atmosphere"?. wtf is wrong with game devs. i play games to play games for adventure and action and all the sights and sounds that should go with it, not to listen to a music video of game devs select choice 'edgy-cool' flavor of the month music tracks. too many video games are more like a damn MTV music video than a video game

      while i can agree some games definitely work better with minimal music , some games have amazing soundtracks written by godly composers , i feel like theres a time and place for a game to have music and this is one where minimal to no music is best , but that being said there are a lot of games where the music enhances the gameplay and adds to the atmosphere rather than takes it away

That game has a kick-ass music soundtrack I love almost every song on there and imo it goes great with the game play. So many songs on that soundtrack and so many of them are good songs

    This should have just been the demo. I think they should have gotten more inspiration from the movie aswell in order to attract some of its audience.
    Like the tri pod camera, aliens and the game needs more action. I know it's a survival horror but it needs something to switch up the pace or it just feels empty and that your always waiting for something that's not coming.

    I love games like this. I'm a person with a GoPro camera tagging along with the main character. Am I playing the game or telling the main character what to do? I have to classify games like this, "We Games" or "Tag Along" games. Games presented like this one need to have an option in Settings where I can switch to an objective first-person view. To sum up my feelings: Games produced like this are not what I would call true-life games. In other words: I do not like or play games like these.

  • @NipplWizard

    It's like someone took the musical aspect of film making they used in supernatural, and pulled a "Shrek", said ,"Like tha's evr guna happn" and wiped their asses with the page they just ripped out of a book only to realize that it might be cool to use but the page was too damaged to read so they threw a piece of swiss cheese on it and read what wasn't covered, and it said this.
    Page 3, paragraph two, sentence, 1, "The"
    And then put the most pretentious wannabe dramatic crap on a walking simulator that is a loose plagiarism of a story that takes NO EFFORT to get right. Devs spent more effort on screwing up the ONE thing that people like about WoTW and that's ATMOSPHERE.
    They didn't reinvent the wheel, they replaced it with a cactus that's been used as one of the Kardashians dildos.
