Impressed with Ingress

Call this a cop out if you must but this is actually a game I've been playing for about a year and a half now.

It's called Ingress and it is perhaps one of the most unique games I have ever played. There's an elaborate back-story that I know almost nothing about but If you like playing RPG games for the lore then you have that. But my favorite thing about it is the technology that it uses.

DISCLAIMER: This is a mobile game. It can only be played on mobile devices. Emulators will work, maybe, but not well.

The reason this is strictly a mobile game is also because of the technology that this uses. This game taps into your phone's GPS location to play. And I'll get back to this later.

The idea of this game is basically capture the flag, mixed in with squares. Do you remember squares? It was a game where you would connect dots and if you made a square then you would get one point. It looked something like this...

And the red square is one point to the red player.

Are you understanding at all?
I know, it is pretty confusing to hear about. So let me just keep rambling about this game.

The game uses your GPS to make the entire world into the game board with specific locations that act as flags to be captured and dots to connect and these specific locations can be anything of historical or societal value like statues, libraries, museums, etc.

I'm not really doing the game justice to just ramble on about it confusingly so just take my word for it that it is a very fun game and the best part is the to play, you don't stay in your room staring at a glowing computer monitor, you actually need to go out and move.

I would definitely recommend that people at least try this game out. No matter where you live it's a lot of fun.

Well this has been another Mythical review, thanks for reading and I'll see you next time!
