I find this game very interesting. As I have noticed for all online games, they start off with a tutorial showing the players tips on how to navigate through the game. The one thing the game forgets to tell the players about on the tutorial is how to fight other people and level up. In my opinion, I haven’t learned anything that connects to education. For me, the game is more of a check on from time to time to see how many coins I got and the other tasks I need to do.
For my avatar, I did not know we could choose what avatar we could have until I was playing around with all the buttons. Luckily, the random one I received is the only one I would choose as my avatar to represent who I am outside the game. There are many avatars for people to choose from which is a very good quality of Forge of Empires.
For the GUI, the game is very easy to navigate through. The cursor allows for you to hover over the buttons to allow you to read what each one is without having to actually click it. The game doesn’t come with good instructions on how to become a quality player on this game. I seem to get lost on what to do next on the game once I have collected the coins and did all the fighting I could do. Overall, this game is very fun and easy to use but is more of a game I would personally participate in as a last option.
