Broken Ground

Broken Ground suggests a harsher, more damaged world than many game titles do, and that kind of tone can work well in a puzzle or adventure setup. By our assessment, the trouble is that the name is broad enough to fit several different genres, so the public meaning stays fuzzy unless the game itself does something very specific. In practice, that makes it a hard card to read: it sounds atmospheric, but not yet clearly distinct. The upside of a title like this is mood, while the downside is that mood alone does not tell you who will enjoy the game or how it actually plays. Broken Ground therefore lands as a restrained, uncertain entry with more promise than detail.
