The Occupation is a game easily described as flawed but interesting , which I do agree with, but then you wouldn t appreciate it if a friend said the same thing about your homemade lasagne, would you?
I didn t technically finish playing The Occupation, because in the final cutscene I didn t get the pivotal dialogue option. The characters, who I was supposed to be choosing sides between, just stared at me, unblinkingly, like two ideologically opposed owls. I wasn t even narked that it bugged out. Do I pick the right wing anti-immigration capitalist pigdog with bad glasses, or the left wing bleeding heart who is also a terrorist? Classic. Who can be bothered?
Flaws, yes, flaws a-plenty. But up until I was forced into a mixture of industrial and regular espionage, I was having some of the best fun I ve had in a game for ages.
