It's not hoarding games on the Microsoft Store anymore, allowing future releases to at least hang out on Steam.

Game Pass on PC is an excellent deal that's only getting better. The new Xbox app is simple, but works well, especially if you're a Game Pass subscriber. Microsoft's recent renewed focus on the PC gives me a little hope. The money and time required to put out an updated, stable version and broker a deal with EA likely hasn't made financial sense for Microsoft. A big obstacle: it was published by EA back when. Hard to say! Black & White was a fairly popular and critically lauded game back in the early '00s (PC Gamer gave it a 94%), but it's since faded into relative obscurity. The consequence of your choices is immediate, often surprising, and extremely malleable. I'd rather toss them at villagers across the way.īlack & White reflects your behavior in the quality of life of your believers, in the behavior of your monstrous pet, in how competing gods fill the gaps in your ideologies to steal away followers-its one of the few games to make the binary morality system work, because you're not making appeals to power based on Good and Evil. I just don't have the dexterity or patience to spin those plates. Shoutout to those good gods casting kind miracles to keep their believers happy and healthy, their pet well-behaved and saintly. I don't represent the whole of the playerbase. I'll never forget the first I picked up a villager and realized that they too were a simple physics object. Depleting your village's stocks to instill suffering and fear, or dragging unwilling villagers between buildings to assign jobs or promote love-making transformed flat, statistical decisions into godly labor, the barrier between your mouse hand and the world effectively invisible. The usual numbers and menu-based micromanagement was made simpler and more comical, too. They're welcome on all the furniture and get treats whenever they like. Good thing I'm not actually a god. I'd never hit an animal, digital or otherwise, so I'd pet them and feed them, reinforcing whatever behaviors they observed or were naturally inclined to, just like my real pets.

My giant pet would observe and begin to think that suffering is good because daddy godhand sure inflicts a lot of it.

Winding up my weird physics hand to give a fireball or boulder just enough momentum to reach the isle far across the map, just catching the edge of the village, was delightful. It was monstrous, but great fun: a clumsy way of progressing articulated by a physics game, almost like skipping rocks across a placid lake. Eradicate them or terrify them into complicity. I have great memories of abandoning any hope for promoting sensible theology and just sat tossing fireballs and rocks at the edge of my influence-impassable borders determined by the reach of your believers' faith-and into opposing villages dedicated to another god. You, sometimes literally, massage the sandbox to steer it in your favor. In Black & White, you're a huge physics-bound hand, and it's the primary way you interact with the world.

This isn't to say it gives you infinite, unbound power from the get-go or that it was the deepest and most strategically-varied of its kind, but Lionhead's first stab at a 3D version of the genre made your influence on the world feel far less abstract than in earlier god games, like Populous and Dungeon Keeper. Why care?īlack & White is still the only game that's made me feel like a god. Even then, getting Black & White to run on modern PCs isn't easy. Without those old CDs, players are stuck in purgatory, digging through boxes for old CDs or driven to piracy.
