Precipice

Linux, PC (Microsoft Windows) • 2019

Should you play it?

A game of diplomacy and war in the atomic age. Safeguard your closest allies and change unfavorable regimes without giving away your long-term ambitions. Every action risks an enemy reprisal, and if nobody backs down from a standoff, we all lose.

What works

  • Unique cold war strategy with diplomacy, espionage, and brinkmanship
  • Simple to learn but with strategic depth
  • Active developer support and updates
  • Charming animal avatars for countries
  • Good value for price

Things to keep in mind

  • Ai can be erratic or overly aggressive
  • Randomness (rng) can frustrate players
  • Limited multiplayer community and online play
  • Repetitive gameplay and limited replayability
  • Some ui and information clarity issues

How to use the graph

Similarity map

Each dot is a game. They are arranged from the game’s motivation profile. Closer dots usually mean more similar reasons to play (exploration, competition, relaxation, etc.)—not that one game is “better” than another.

  • Purple star: this page’s game — everything on the map is relative to it.
  • Coloured chips: click to highlight games that mainly differ on that motivation; click again to reset.
  • Dotted line: link between this page’s game and the one selected for comparison.
  • Hover a dot to preview that game in the panel on the right; click to keep that comparison.
  • Scroll or double-click the chart to zoom out and see more games.

Why don’t the axes read like a score? This view uses t-SNE: it only keeps who is close to whom. The scales are not “good to bad” or hours played—they separate groups on the map. Read distance between dots, not the axis numbers (hidden on purpose).

Precipice: Less representative of its motivational profile, with noticeable differences. Motivations that often define this kind of title include Competition, Status, Fellowship, Domination. It leans lower than usual among comparable games on Fellowship, Cooperation, Fantasy.
