this game was kind of insane when it came out in 2011. i used to just replay it and play in the sand and make rivers and such. great fun back then. still pretty good today

This is the first God-game I've played. I've always dreamt of playing Black & White games, but was never able to as its never been ported or brought to any PC platform which made the game a lost relic. The mechanics are unlike anything I've seen and its interesting this kind of tech hasn't been used in other games since (that I know of). The way you terraform the landscape and how it changes with even the smallest alteration makes it very realistic. It's really addictive, and again, the mechanics have me in awe.

I have like 6 100% completions off steam of this game. It's honestly not even that crazy of a game I just have a fixation on water lol The way the water physics work has always mystified me, especially getting it to work on an xbox 360, it's always been one of those dreams of mine to make a little prototype or something to recreate it and mess around with it

A great little god game but with limited content. I would love to see a sequel or extra maps (the challenge maps suck) but that is unlikely to happen. It requires Uplay so buy on sale because who knows when Ubisoft will steal it back from you.

Getting the game to run is a nightmare. But the game itself is pretty fun.
