One year ago, I posted my review of Swarm.
Despite being 4500 words or so, there was a lot I didn’t cover and, more

…Which is a point worth noting in itself. A
lot has changed. Literally, in a physical sense. Throughout 2012, theming
elements were added to Swarm. Effort was made to improve the already better-than-average
presentation, some of which are solutions to previous criticism. The open plaza
is now home to an ambulance perched precariously on its rear and telephone box
turned on its head, pummeled into the ground. Together, those elements help to combat
the open blandness of that area, but they also added audio to Swarm’s already
impressively chaotic soundtrack.
