Made some changes to the Insomnia review. First off, I added a star to the rating, to bring it up to 4/5. And then, I added the word "immensely" where the author says that he "immensely enjoyed the game", that I had originally removed. All the negativity on Steam compelled me to soften his stance by removing that word and a star, to hedge my bets, as I didn't want Insomnia to recommend a game that everyone else is trashing, if it really is anywhere near as bad as they are saying that it is; but after re-reading the author's analysis several times, and realizing that the game DOES sound attractive despite being essentially in a completely different genre to its predecessors (which is probably why everyone is trashing it, which is NEVER a good reason to trash a game), I now stand fully behind this review and urge people to try the game out and share their opinions with the rest of us. I sure will be trying it myself as well, as it sounds like a pretty cool concept. "Parkour in dungeons" has certainly never been done before, and it's certainly a far more natural idea than the stupid "spaceships in dungeons" of Descent and co., so I think it deserves a closer look, if nothing else. So, for the time being, Insomnia recommends this.
