    "Played" Dispatch. I mean it is more of a watch than a play. I feel I would have been ripped off if I paid full price. Better: I paid nothing and used Amazon's Luna gaming streaming service as a prime user. It's a bad game but a good show.

      @adiwan I got it as a gift, so I have no cost/value analysis on it, but I really enjoyed Dispatch. Definitely, it's more "interactive fiction" than game, but I did enjoy the actual dispatch parts of it (and would frankly appreciate something like a standalone maybe roguelike kind of side project focusing just on that)

        @scribus Yeah. The actual "game" part is rather basic. It's similarly complex as the cabaret club mini game in Yakuza 0 and Yakuza 2. As a mini game it's fine for what it is, however for the main course it's severely lacking in depth in my opinion. Yeah. I got you. It could be fun as a resource management game to dispatch heroes according their strengths but this ain't it. For that I expect to assemble my own team and recruit more heroes and shuffle my team according to the current villains terrorizing the city. Also the hacking was rather meh. I get why it exists, as Robert sits at the PC with his Mecha Man experience. Hacking mini games were never done right as far as I know.
