Wild Pitch

Baseball is a great theme for a COG/HG title. There’s plenty of drama to mine, both on the field and in a clubhouse. This title takes a novel approach to pitching battles, but it can be a frustrating read, overall. It tracks your character through their entire career, and while this is admirable, it’s stretched so thin that characters are flat, and the journey forgettable. (As it limps to a conclusion, you’re even given a broad list of characters you’ve barely spoken to. Pick one! They suddenly love you!)

The idea for this is solid and inventive. It just doesn’t hit the zone.

To short

Game has a really nice and fun concept but the story is way to short add some new elements and make your career go longer

Great game

As a casual baseball fan, I really enjoyed this game. It was easy to follow and I liked the progression of the story. The mechanics of the pitching seemed realistic. The ending was fun and unexpected.

A great game

I really enjoyed how well paced and terrifically written this game was.

Thank you

I haven’t finished it yet, but so far am enjoying it a lot. Great writing at a fun, brisk pace. The ability to play as a non-binary character was unexpected and lovely — this is not something one sees often in games. As a non-binary gamer and sports fan, I think that alone warrants my 5-star rating. It helps that the game is fun too! :)
