March 2025
Grey Goo originally came out ten years ago. I didn't play it back then, largely because the reception it received at the time was so poor. Coming back to it in 2025 is a truly confusing experience. Why didn't people like this game? It's great! I don't really get it. Even loooking at it in the context of its original release the reception it got is still mystifying. In 2015 the RTS scene was suffering from a very bad case of the Starcraft bug and Grey Goo seems like the perfect antidote for that. It is much slower paced, allowing larger reaction windows. No unit has active abilities. Economy is largely automated and you can automate unit production as well. So it's a fairly casual friendly game, but the large variety of gameplay styles of its - 3 at release, now 4 - factions still give it depth. Presentation is top notch. Graphics still hold up incredibly well even a decade later. And the game is not short of spectacle: The earth visibly shaking under the stomps of your mech army. The bright light of an exploding nuclear missile. The grim sight of your units getting dissovled into grey goo ... Music's even better, of course. Frank Klepacki is on board and he can do no wrong. I also enjoyed the campaign quite a bit, finished it several times to get all the bonus objectives. Here you can definitely see that they were working on a budget though. Still, there are lot of cutscenes and the character work is quite nice. The missions are well designed, have variety and there are just enough of them that I don't feel like complaining. It does suffer a bit from a somewhat unconclusive ending, but eh, I'am a Command&Conquer fan, I have seen worse. All in all a very enjoyable experience in a genre that didn't get a lot of those at the time. Maybe this review can help it get some of the late justice it deserves.

came so close to being good... Just needed less of the budget spent on acting and more on levels units and maps... But its a classic style rts so that's something

While it was not the easiest game to initially learn, once you get the hang of it, it can be pretty fun. I didn't enjoy the way it played as much compared to C&C games, but the story kept me going and was worth the price I paid for the game being on sale. Worth trying if you like RTS games.

Old school RTS game from the people who made Empire at War. Horribly underrated gem of a game. Deserves much more love than it got.
