Pay 2 Win: The World is Mine

This game is beautiful. The mechanics ask the player to strategize rather than mindlessly buying whatever upgrades are available to them, something a lot of incremental games are sorely lacking. Story. Dialogue. This is one of two incremental games I've played that has actually utilised those. For something so omnipresent in any other genre, it's a breath of fresh air to see them here. Speaking of which, May and Annie's differing personalities make the story events something to look forward to, meaning this game has incentive beyond simply watching numbers go up. This is easily a top three incremental for me. So few of them have this level of originality and you would be hard pressed to find one that stands out half as much as this. I can't recommend it enough.

May our loathsome paypiggies surrender every last drop of glinting gold! As an incremental game Pay2Win adds so much flavor and charm into the genre that I could not help but get hooked into the game. From the stand out soundtrack, to the theory crafting money making layouts, and the charming dialogues throughout the game everything is filled with some kind of passion. To me the most charming sections of the game is the onslaught of satirical mocking of the gaming industry where not even consumer are safe from mockery. The story in this incremental game focuses on, guess what, making money in whatever way possible: scamming the consumers, witchcraft, or even making quality games that people want to buy. This sets up the scene to implicitly show off how your building layouts are viewed in game. The many different ways to build up your empire adds a lot to the replayability, and theory crafting the best layouts my feeble mind can is a ton of fun for me. The various endings are a ton of fun to listen to, and the true ending is a well done sappy happy ending especially if you watch the other endings first. The art direction, voice acting, and music are all fantastic and stand out a ton to me. While there isn't much to the art itself, it does a good job of clearly conveying what everything is without overpowering everything else. The music track while limited is a real bop. While I am not some snob or connoisseur for voice acting I personally think that the VA's did a fantastic job conveying their lines and adding in just the right amount emotion that did a fantastic job making me feel excited, happy, or wildly uncomfortable in the different scenes. The dev special secret scene really showed how fantastic the voice acting was and it really had me laughing hard. I have had a ton of fun playing Pay2Win and this game deserves every bit of love I can give it. While there are still bugs, achievements not unlocking, and mild optimization issues I still think that Pay2Win is well worth every penny for how fun I had with it.

incremental game where your choices actually matter and you have to be strategic about how you upgrade your stuff? unheard of Plus it has good VA and fun story
