My full review can be found here.[www.the-backlog.net]

GabeN: The Final Decision begins with the potential launch of the Triple Steam Summer Sale, along with Half Life 3, Portal 3, and Team Fortress 3. However, the Illuminati the interferes, and Gaben (along with Mike) decide to try and get to the bottom of it. It's a story of memes and a lot of battles with fantastical creatures from... fantasy lands?

This game will do a lot to try and burn your eyes with the awful background colour on the UI. You'll also find yourself getting extremely frustrated at the sheer number of encounters as the encounter rate is exceptionally high. At first, the enemies actually do make some sense. Once you get into the random encounters they start just pulling from the stock of RPGMaker assets to fill in. Despite there being several "wings" to the dungeon, one for each element, the enemies are just recolours. There isn't much interesting about the combat as it's usually just a matter of spam attack until you win. Bosses get a bit more strategy in that they involve actually using some skills!

I can't recommend this game at all unless you really want to get into the heavy memes present. Even if you do, I still wouldn't recommend it. Other than the actual enemies that made sense at the start, there really isn't much redeeming about this title.
