Review: Venture Arctic
Friday, July 11th, 2008
Truly educational games are difficult to find, but games that are both educational and also fun to play are even more rare. Venture Arctic luckily is one of them: it is a sort of sandlot game, where you act like God and you can manipulate the environment as you wish, using 22 different creature types, each one with realistic behaviours.
You can also influence the climatic settings, using the power of the sun, the wind, the snow, and so on.
In definitive, a very original game, different from all the others tycoon games where you have to control humans. Here, you control animals and must manage the fragile ecosystems, learning new things as you play.
