Pros: + Gameplay is engaging and invokes the needed curiosity the play for the different endings + Also doesn't feel like a chore to attempt achievement hunting + Fun soundtrack + The visualizer tool and hub are very cool wireframe graphics Cons: - Like other "takes place in an operating system" games such as Home Safety Hotline, there is a bit more emphasis on conveying the story through email popups - Yeah it looks like Windows 2000. Good job, but also not that unique - Since the game prides itself on the dystopian story and messaging, the themes fall into "series of tubes" type of warnings (heat index) ? It actually uses the NVIDIA "This person does not exist" AI. It also is a video game that tries to emphasis "AI bad" in the store page and story involving training a face recognition AI into a planet burner that generates billions of dollars and infinite more surveillance. Whether these are good or bad depends on how much you doomscroll. ? No OS-tan of the Miner OS (yet) ? A realistic depiction of 1999 government and how privately held multibillion dollar company would behave if it leading in Artificial Intelligence research
Faceminer touches on environmentalism, AI, machine learning, crypto-♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, neoliberal techno-spiritualism, business-speak, the politicization of climate activism for commercial gain, just to name a few. It's timely, engaging, and technically well executed. You could find a laundry list of little things to love about Faceminer. I do think how it ends undermines its messaging just a little bit. What Faceminer warns about is very real and very possible, but that fact isn't reinforced by the premise of Faceminer being unrealistic for 1999. The way the game ends further undermines Facerminer Corporation as being fantastically evil, as opposed to an exaggeration. Not that I dislike the ending; it's very foreboding. That works well with the forward-thinking message. My only gameplay nitpick is endless mode, namely late-game power generation. It takes a lot of time to make the money needed to get upgrades after a few hours, but you can't true idle Faceminer because of cluster node failures, viruses, and how fragile your balance sheet is that late. Needs a lot of babysitting that isn't rewarded like how it is in the main game.
It's a well made game that's crafted just right in my opinion. Spoiler: I really like how the emissions system works. You have the option to invest in solar panels, but doing that is much slower and less effective compared to buying generators and botnets. So instead, if your emissions tax is too high, you just pay to do a bunch of PR and buy carbon credits. The options in the offset menu sound just innocent enough that you can almost convince yourself the money you ((donate)) there is actually offsetting the harm you're doing to the planet, and so you can continue on absolved of sin.
