I just watched some gameplay trailers.
I must say, the concept is amazing; giving the player essentially godlike powers and allowing them to interact with a sandbox world sounds like the perfect game. I've always liked the idea of games that give you a really beastly character and have you just fuck with shit.
However, from what I'm watching it looks way too fast paced; I like action games, but I like to be able to think about what's going on, to use strategy, and to have time to appreciate the havoc being wreaked. The trailer I saw, shit was just blowing up everywhere.
Overlord did a decent job at this; the appeal of playing an evil character is also undeniable. However, the "evil" was very cartoony. The gameplay was great, though.
Any other games like this, where you get a character with a bunch of badass powers and just fuck with shit?
