Adults... THIS is what's missing from gaming today. UNIQUE. I dont think there's been a riot game made before, especially like this. GROWN UPS. Made for adults who follow politics, current events, the world. EXCELLENT ART. I normally don't like pixel graphics, but this game is different. The pixel representations are intriguing to look at and evocative. Very well done at many levels. IMMESRSIVE. Puts you into the moment, from both sides. Fun to get into. POLITICALLY REAL. Finally, a game that reflects actual real world tension, intelligently. This game is a breath of fresh air. DEVS and others: Make more game like this, please. I will buy. So will others.
