I have an eternal soft spot for Spiders, the studio known for such curious roleplaying games as Mars: War Logs and Of Orcs and Men. There is no denying the passion and ambition this company has - it crafts intriguingly original worlds and works damn hard to fill each one with a sense of depth and history. In terms of both narrative and gameplay, Spiders' games take cues from the best in the business, blending the work of BioWare, Obsidian, Bethesda, and others, while adding its own eccentric and recognizable flair.
Yet for all of its heart, Spiders makes mostly shambolic games that ultimately frustrate more than they please.
The Humble Focus Entertainment Legends and Visions Bundle just launched today. It includes seven different games on multiple operating systems that you can redeem and play on Steam. As always, a portion of proceeds from the bundle supports charity.
