Yes, I know I gave a thumbs down to it's previous game - Choice of robots - which will make me seem biased torwards text games. However, even though I gave a thumbs down to Choice of robots, I had some fun with it, and at least finished the game to the end.This title, "A Wise Use of Time", however, I cannot bring myself to even FINISHING it.The pacing... is slow. Oh my god is it slow. I appreciate the fact that it's trying to build itself up, but it managed to break my will to read another chapter.But really that's not the real problem I had with this game. I do not enjoy the fact that the choice of this game is mainly divided into 2 factor. "Good" or "Evil" - like the "Paragon" or "Renegade" system in Mass Effect. I personally hate this, because it over simplifies our emotion and desire. Previously in the "Choice of Robots", you had to choose what purpose you will give to your robot. Will it represent beauty and grace, or will it spread fear and overwhelming power? Or, will it act like a living human being, and become your friend? It was up to you. The world evolved around you, which is the sole purpose of a "text adventure" game.Here, it's not like that. Yes, it has many branching paths, but the main dilemma is "Will you, or will you not overuse your power to bend time for your own benifit? Consequences may happen." And this alone may be an interesting book or a conversation - but not a game, which is about the "game play". And it feels like the choices that this game presents are not intriguing enough for me to choose this game over a well written book.. As lengthy as this game seems, the biggest problem I find here is that the progression seems to always keep me on the same points. I almost feel as though I can't change any part of the story save for details in the ending. Even when I try to roleplay as a heartless monster, all the choices were relatively the same.Very disappointed. Remember those choose your own adventure books that you always used to keep your finger on the page before turning in case you died? Well it's one of those. Was bored so I thought i'd just have a quick look, ended up reading for an hour and a half. So if you like reading and fancy something a bit different, and a bit of nostalgia from being a kid check it out.. I typically enjoy CYOA games, but this one just wasn't for me. I forced myself to play to a conclusion, where I died, though I'm not really sure what I did wrong. The stat mechanics, though much more simplistic, weren't as intuitive to me as most Choice of Games titles are (Heroes Trilogy, Hero of Kendrickstone, SLAMMED!); sometimes you can use your powers with no or very little ill effects, others you'll do something that seems much simpler and generate a huge amount of fatigue. I basically focused on the powers all the way through, learning more about them and trying to get better at them without overusing them, but I suppose it's possible I was too cautious.Though I never attempted any of the romance options, I suspect there's likely a lot of content there as is typical of CoG games. Overall, if you're REALLY itching for a CoG style CYOA, this is pretty inexpensive and you might like it, but as for me, I'd say to give this one a pass.. Meh, I really do love time manipulation! But all these games feel like they are pumped out, it might as well be a choose your own adventure book. Get this game if you want some time manipulation, but don't want to have fun.. It's fun.Multiple replayability.Time powers.Some paths give you MORE powers or STRONGER versions.Help a friend out of debt my stopping a heist, literally stopping it, and taking the stuff.Oh and you may or may not be the only one with these sorts of abilities.... I'm surprised by the amount of positive reviews, as this is one of the weakest CoGs I've ever played. The plot lost me very quickly, at some points it moves way too fast to be enjoyable, at others it drags terribly. At least one really impactful choice is taken away from player (basically games decides for you, even if you disagree and then criticize you for decision, that wasn't really yours to begin with). It opens up really strong, but then gets worse with every minute. Also, writing (especially during first interactions with your roommates) goes to "obvious and bad exposition" territory. Sadly, I cannot recommend it.. tl;dr -> Got time-stopping powers, used them to rob at every opportunity. Got rich, friend needed help - get your own money, fool. 11/10 satisfies my kleptomaniac urges.Cons:-no checkpointing system - if you mess up/die, you must restart from the beginningPros:-interesting and engaging story - numerous endings and consequences-employs the "discovery" system - character relationship stats are only revealed when you meet them (unlike many other Choice titles)-selecting/improving your different stats actually changes a lot of the dialogue, events, and decisions you can make-dynamic characters that react to your choices-good interpretation of time-"slowing" (learn more in-game) and lots of fun opportunities available-robust decision treeThis is definitely one of the stronger, well-written Choice titles available. If you are interested in controlling time, then try this one out!Recommend!Cheers,DJSF @DJSF's Rogue ReviewsMy Website[theroguereviews.com]. I have to say, I've really enjoyed this game. Sure, maybe not EVERY decision has an impact on the stroy, but most of them actually do. I'll definitely play it again to uncover some of the plot turns that I missed. I recommend this this to anyone who enjoys reading and also enjoys the "make-your-own-adventure" kind of games. To put it simply it's kind of like The Walking Dead, except in written format and more exciting.
