I also thought that was a much better than the review scores would lead people to believe, way back when it was called Dyson and was just an IGF demo with a dozen levels or so. It's slowly changed over time to become more of a complete, balanced game, but in the process it's become less enjoyable of an experience. Kind of a shame.BENZOOKA said:Eufloria 63. Maybe. Had to plow through so many pages that I might've skipped the lowest. I'm very surprised at the result. It's one of the best, if not the very best ambient game. Steam clock says I've spent 27 enjoyable hours with it. Mostly listening to music, just chilling, as you do with these kind of games. The written review pieces also seem to hold it at higher value than the accompanying scores. Although, there was a huge patch, maybe a year ago, that changed it drastically. And that actually destroyed the great calm atmosphere as well as it did balance some stuff.
Heh, I've actually got Rhythm Zone. Even spent 8 hours playing, or melting my eyes with it. So it's my worst.Nalgas D.

As far as my own highest and lowest, it looks like Ocarina of Time at the top (followed by a bunch of other Nintendo and Valve games), so no surprise there. Painkiller: Redemption is bringing up the rear, with a well-deserved 43, with some strong competition from Rhythm Zone at 44. Garshasp is nearby at 49, although it's nowhere near as bad as those other two.
At least the idea/meaning behind the original name was well-intentioned. It was based on the Dyson tree, which is a hypothetical genetically engineered plant that could grow on comets, thought up by Freeman Dyson, the same guy behind the Dyson sphere. Of course, a lot more people have heard of the vacuums, so...BENZOOKA said:They really screwed up with Eufloria, although changing the name from a vacuum cleaner manufacturer wasn't a bad move.
Dyson Trees, or something like that might've been better than just Dyson, but anywho, bygones. Cheers for pointing that out though. I didn't know anything about the context.Nalgas D.
