I had fun with Fable 3, albeit on the XBox, so I didn't have nearly as many issues with terrible DRM. Can't speak for the other two.

(Protip: you can repair properties from the map screen. Still tedious as hell, since it takes several buttons to repair each one, but it's nowhere near as boring as running around through town repairing everything. Also, shops don't decay.  ;) )

E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy: Tell me about it. Seems pretty unique but I can't really get the game's feel from the screenshots in the steam page. :P

I didn't like it. It was very... strange. The UI really turned me off, was difficult to use and unwieldy, and the game is not well explained. The story is pretty out there.

Its very unpolished, with lousy UI and story.  The shooting is actually pretty good though.  I had a fair bit of fun with it.   

If you get it, make sure your first priority is to get a medkit and the stealth implant.  :)  Makes a world of difference.

EYE. The story in that game makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. I had no idea what was going on, I had no idea who I was, I had no idea who my enemies were or why I should care. I imagine the process for creating the story for that game went something like this.

Step 1: Think up a dystopian cyberpunk story heavily influenced by the inquisition from WH40k and write it down.
Step 2: Swap every third word from the beginning with every third word from the end.
Step 3: Shred every fifth page of the story.
Step 4: Remove all bindings and pour the remaining papers onto the floor.
Step 5: Slather glue on the papers.
Step 6: Have a dog roll around on the papers.
Step 7: Shave the dog and take the papers and rebind them in whatever order they are in.
Step 8: Run the story through badtranslator seven times.
Step 9: Make it into a game.

Sums it up pretty well. It is fairly fun if you don't try to understand any of it though. Awful game design, muddy graphics, but fun combat.

I'll give it that, it had some fairly interesting mechanics, the whole hacking thing and all. It could have been more fleshed out and polished but the gameplay wasn't that bad. It just made no sense why I was doing anything that I was doing, or even what that thing I was doing actually was.

I think this game feels like it was based on a book or something because when I was playing it I couldn't help but think I should have known more about the world than I did. It's like a for-fans-of-a-book adaptation that forgot to have the book it was based on :p

Well done, Carpe Fulgur.

They're in the current bestseller's list twice.  For an indie translation shop with three games localized, that's pretty amazing.

Carpe Fulgur Collection at number 12, Recettear at 21.  At $12 and $5 respectively, that's a bunch of money.

I have to agree.

I got the game recently. My understanding of what people are talking about has ranged from "I think I am missing something." to straight up "WTF?".

Or indeed all of the above. At the same time.
