Geneforge 2: Infestation is another masterful remastering of an older game from Spiderweb Games. A huge world to explore, many NPCs to have dealings with, well balanced game, and a big thrill for me when I cast high level spells and see enemies obliterated. It's just a game.

The plot carries on from the first Geneforge game. Dangerous technology has been secreted from Sucia Island and different factions in the DryPeak mountains seek to use it against the all powerful Shapers. You as a trainee Shaper have to choose what path to follow as you investigate.

This is a game where taking careful notes is almost a must, something I don't habitually do. So for instance I should have noted down stores where you can buy and sell things. Also be careful how you use the living tools you can collect which open doors. I almost didn't have enough for a critical part of the game.

Depending on the choices you make not everything will be possible for your character. I wasted time on reducing hit points to 1 for foes which refused to die.
