Jay is Games review:
“What it lacks in complexity it more than makes up for in playability and raw intrigue. The Oil Blue looks great, plays great, and will suck you in for hours at a time. An excellent release from Vertigo Games!”
About.com review:
“Drilling for oil might not sound like the most interesting concept for a game, but in The Oil Blue, it’s surprisingly addictive…in the end, The Oil Blue isn’t for everyone. It starts out slow and for the first few hours seems overly complex. But if you can push through the early portions of the game — which do an excellent job of introducing the various gameplay elements — you’ll be rewarded with a rich and rewarding experience that’s really unlike any game out there. It doesn’t hurt that it also looks great and features a wonderfully atmospheric soundtrack that really helps add to its unique tone.
If nothing else, The Oil Blue manages to take the process of oil drilling and turn it into a fun and addictive game experience.”
Gamezebo review:
“Games like The Oil Blue are always a pleasant surprise. We often expect nothing from them and they deliver an experience that is nothing sort of a joy. Vertigo games should be proud of what they’ve created here, and anyone interested in playing something great should check this out.”

Great game!
Yeah, I’ll write a better review later…
This is one of the most addictive games ever. I really like groundwells though and in the endgame your groundwell percentage starts to decrease and that makes me sad. But other than that the game is perfect.
