The Oil Blue - PC Game Review
The Oil Blue is mostly a time management game. You have to take control of the machinery of abandoned oil rigs and produce oil.
This is done by a mini game per oil machine type. One just consists of setting a speed and alternating cells to keep it going. Other requires pressing a pressure release from time to time, and guiding the drill to positions with oil. And so on. Meanwhile, you only have a tiny space for all that oil, so you need to sell it to make more room.
The important thing is, you are not going through each machine. You have to control all of them at the same time. So you are constantly switching between screens to service each machine (plus selling the oil). To me, after the slower beginning this felt more like working against the interface than anything else.
I imagine the game could be fun, but to me it felt more like work...
