Quotes (from this video)
- I think the presentation of the game was, although I can understand it in terms of affordability for the publisher. I don't think it was the best format to display the game.
- Sadly making it nearly unplayable.
- ultimately you are at the mercy of the deck of cards.
- So, I suppose the unique thing about this game is that your engine your your display of cards is of finite potency.
- But I have to say despite there being a lot to explore here, I think this game was really handicapped by the way that the game scores.
- The visuals, not talking about the iconography, is a little bit drab, you know, has a little bit of a sterile um look to it, but I don't think that hurts the game in any way.
- Now, my main issue with this game, which um you know, it's a reoccurring theme for me because it's important factor of what I look for in games, is that this game is too long.
- So, that is Argato. A huge pleasant surprise for me. I'd give this one probably a seven and a half, maybe even an eight out of 10. It is that enjoyable.
