Thank goodness Geneforge 5: Overthrow (G5) is entertaining enough to merit multiple playthroughs. The gameplay is split up into three different segments, combat mode, walking mode, and map mode. In map mode, you're presented with the world map and just click on the connected segments you want to move to. Once you enter one of those segments, you'll be in walking mode. In this mode you click to move around, pick up items, create creatures, and interact with a variety of gizmos scattered across the map. This is where you'll be spending the majority of your time. Thankfully, the maps are all small enough to go from one side to the other with a single click. Also, the pathfinding is quite good, so you'll only rarely catch your creatures or your main character getting stuck on something.
