40 of 40 · most liked firstHow about a worthwhile review? Two sides, two advantages, capture mechanics (it's been a very long time, i remember capturing something), generate your power levels unlock new buildings, build units to defend or attack, turn towers into defences, use ground or water as weapons. Create a long gameplay by flooding back the enemy using water, or build the tallest plateu with ground. Artillery is an option. The game had much promise, very similar to maelstrom, but of course without the masses of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A game that LOST its roots. The game passed to another developper and another publisher. Things got worst. I explain. The designers tried to differenciate things more by building the races in a different way. In this game we have ONLY two races comparing to the 3 plus the scourge we had in the first Perimeter, the Exodus and the HeartBack. So, the story says that the new world those races were searching finally found. But the Exodus still can colonize the surface while the HeartBack can build…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No. Don't do it. Not even for cheap. This game could have neat terraforming mechanics, but the UI, dialogue, tutorial and basically the whole presentation is painful. I literally got a headache trying to get into the first level. During which the gameplay was sub-par and unintuitive.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's not the first game. The first game was, out of left field, a resoundingly well-designed, beautiful, polished, mysterious, novel experience. This game nukes about every single one of those things. It's buggy and clunky. It's got some seriously questionable unit and UI designs. Much of the universe development in the original game is ignored or blatantly subverted. And a lot of the coolest gameplay elements from the first game are just not there, for no reason whatsoever. If you're on this…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love RTS games, and this is the worst RTS game I've ever played. Wasn't worth the $2.49 I paid for it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's been a long time since I played this one, but my recollection is that it has some good ideas, but they're let down by flaws in the execution - terraforming on land, you end up with different levels of terrain competing for space, and it's hard to tell which level you'll be terraforming to. The water faction was much less fiddly to play, but not sufficiently for me to want to go back to the game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the idea behind this RTS game is not bad: build and mantain a perimeter of "energy" while expanding and crush enemies. but it's technically horrible, boring to play, with a poor storyline it's a shame, because the gameplay is not bad at all, but you will soon be bored by the overall lack of other point of interest
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Crap squeal, Original was & still is amazing
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Quite possibly one of the worst games I've played. Nothing like its under-rated predecessor, this game has boring mechanics and a lack of polish. At one point, the cutscenes switch to Russian for no good reason. It's not even worth playing as a so-bad-it's-funny game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Too much dialogue that adds nothing. Game hasn't aged well. Very slow pace.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →100/100 ive never seen any game like this before in my life, i spent almost an hour trying to figure out whatever the hell it was trying to tell me to do right in the beginning and i can tell you full-heartedly that i love this game to death and would fight for its honour. If you insult this game then you have offended my people.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A huge disappointement. From the 15+ units from the first game, we're down at 3 units per race, with only one ability once. From the 3 races from the first game, we're down to 2 races. From the huge ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of defensive turrets from the first game, we're down to 3 turrets. This game is the perfect example of what happens if you're oversimplifying a sequel. Sure, it's easier, but it's also BOOORING, as all you have to do is spamming the unique Tier 1 unit and spam Tier 2 turret.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is absolute garbage compared to the one it's based off of. Don't be fooled: this is a sequel to Perimeter in name only. The game appears to be a cheap knockoff of the original.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i spent about 20 minutes playing this game and as a result i broke down crying attempthing to do the first... thing it told me to this game ruined my life that same day i was so upset that when i went shopping later that day i flipped ♥♥♥♥ on the check-out lady for giving me paper bags when i asked for plastic that got me banned from the store i also had a date scheduled that night so when i went out i was still upset longstory short my girlfriend left me i sank into a deep depression after…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game not for everyone it is hard for some people to understand, but I actually have a lot of fun playing it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't say this often about games but this one is bad. Like worse than free games on the internet bad.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Perimeter 2 and Strong Hold 3 have ruined the concept of sequels for me. Perimeter 2 is nothing like Perimeter and is a bit of a scam to be honest. It is one of the worst RTS games I’ve ever played and feels as if no effort went into making it. It gave me the distinct impression the developer was just trying to cash in on the cult like success of the original Perimeter, but with minimal work. Ignoring all that, Its just a terrible, boring game, please for your sakes don’t buy it, even if you…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First I just want to say besides my number of steam hours I've been playing this game since it got out, I bought the game on the wintersales because it came with the other 2 Perimeters. So this game is different from its pre-quels but not by a long shot. PROs -The new terraforming system which for Harkback is awesome, flooding the map (or drying if you are Exodus) it's a game changing mechanic. -The territorial mode in battle mode which is great since you don't use units, only terraforming…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A shame from past I really tried to love this game back in past when i had a 2-cd edition of this RTS. First Perimeter was a total blast for RTS gaming - a nice mix and match of rts and sort of tactical puzzle first game was my top-fav rts back in days . The second is....complicated. It's just a strategy, covered with nice layer of very overcomplex lore (Perimeter's world quite difficult to grasp place tbh). But....there nothing much left to love There only two factions that barely distinct…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wow, this game doesn't aged very well, AT ALL. It's a 2008 game (if I'm not mistaken) but honestly it felt way older than that. Other games released during this time were a lot better than this junk. I honestly could not get into both the story and mechanics. The story felt a bit too convoluted (the horrible AI voiceover isn't doing the game any favors either) and the gameplay, while unique in emphasizing terraforming and perimeters gameplay, is just too troublesome and require painfully…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was a big fan of Perimeter 1 and Perimeter ET, they are some of my favorite games of all time. I came into Perimeter 2 with high expectations and was extremely disappointed. I tried replaying it again years after I purchased, trying to go in without the high expectations. I pretended the game was a standalone game, unrelated to Perimeter. I was still disappointed. The mechanics are tedious and outright boring. Perhaps I could have enjoyed the story, but the gameplay was just so dull and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Perimeter 2 is too under-rated on steam. That's absurd, LOL. I haven't played Perimeter one. I just started Perimeter 2 about a month ago. Perimeter 2 is definitely a good RTS. It has nice Sci-Fi elements. If you are looking for a game that can actually make you immersed in the Sci-Fi atmosphere, you can try it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It isn't what I'd call good.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →tts of this text https://youtu.be/1a3-Yf8oit4 This is not a recommendation. This is not a positive review. If you like perimeter game —this game is not. If you like univang lore — this game is not. It's not a good game. But by itself as an objective product at least it works on WinX, it's short, and it's completable. As an icing on top it is not even hateable enough. The steam release doesn't have the original language so instead i just installed the disk version and patched it to 1.01 The…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →How do you take a classic title and make a sequel thats so bad? I tried, I spent 5 hours to conclude that it is awful.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No, I dont think the game is worth $15. I think its less valuable than a garbage bag filled with $15 worth of used tissue paper.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Have never seen such inconsistent Mechanics which are basis for the game, waste of time. bad AI.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →so i just finished the game and as a fan of the Perimeter games i bought this 1 as its like this looks cool and well i was extremely DISAPPOINTED with it great grafix and only 2 races that sucked Heakback missions were pretty easy even on hard but the exodus missions were hard near the end and the final mission was very hard and that was on easy it was no worth the money i payed out for it and if i could get me money back i would multiplayer mode is only good when u have unlocked everything…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tags: RTS - Real Time Strategy Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: Suffers from classical case of "streamline-a-rts". Unit spawner HQ features and pylonspam. Blanket terraforming. Sloppy execution all around. This dated game actually looks half decent but the mechanics are poor. As if it went to the C&C4 school of strategy. You get to setup a base but the unit roster is very limited. There is a terraforming feature which is very interesting and should be included…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not worth it............................. Not even worth to gift it to someone...............
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had to actually had to check the release date on this game after I played it the first time. For something that was originally release in 2008, It felt like something hot off the presses from back in 2000. I don't really have anything good to say about this one really. You only get 3 offensive units per faction. 3. One for each tech tier you have to research. I have never, in my life seen an RTS that only had 3 offensive units. While this could be offset by emplacements, 3 offensive…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The worst level design I've ever seen, and I'm playing strategy games since 1993... Some missions like mission 10 of the first campaign are almost impossible to beat. Really bad design decisions, destroying the legacy of the first game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Amazing gameplay epic battle not to easy!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Perimeter 1 is a much better and more interesting game. They really lost their way with this one. Buggy, irritating terraforming system, fewer factions than the previous game, terrible UI. Just get the first one and its expansion and pretend this game never happened.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No. Don't bother. Unbalanced, boring, and glitchy. Go play the first Perimeter, you can find it on steam too. It's so much better. (warning: Perimeter is a lot better, but it takes a while to learn and get used to it.)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No. Stay away from this game and watch letsplays of it instead. They had great and easy terraforming, unit morphing mechanic, energy network mechanic, territory control mechanic... AND THEY DONE SCREWED IT UP. While most RTS entertain player with interesting missions, cutscenes, story arcs, Perimeter II has enemy base destruction for breacfast, lunch, dinner and supper. Combined with horrible UI, unbalanced terraforming (exodus strifes for every scrap of perfectly flat ground to build…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you liked spreading creep in Starcraft 2, I still wouldn't recommend this game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is terrible overal. - Graphics aren't that amazing. (But ok for a game it's age I guess) - Terraforming doesn't work propperly at all. - Doesn't follow it's predecessor in any way. (Didn't need a single shield in the first 3 missions.) - UI is not that great. - And the voice acting is worse than Microsoft Sam, or is basicly that I could say. 2/10 for effort
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The controls are obtuse, and nothing particularly makes sense or justifies itself.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I got this on sale since I liked the first one, and thought, it can't be that bad, right? Just.... don't.
