Surprised by mostly positive steam score for this, because its truly bad game.

Graphics looks okay but there is nothing breathtaking about it and presentation is ruined absolutely wooden animations for racers.

Gameplay is abysmal. Controlling your jet ski is tough and ungrateful challenge, waves on some levels just making race a constant gamble - am i going to fly into some sign while riding a wave or maybe i wont crash? AI is crazy, there is 8 participants in every race (it’s too much because 90% of tracks very narrow) and bots dont care if they win or lose, their one and only desire is to ruin your experience. They will stumble at your jet ski, crash and block you to the point that your vehicle will turn opposite direction, everything to make your life miserable. Add to it terrible physics and you get torture instead of gameplay.

Game modes also very by the numbers - classic racing championships and freestyle mode where you need to perform various stunts to get high score (only to get disappointed because your score is beaten by cheater AI). There is also challenges from some renown athletes, i guess but they are just boring racers or time trials. Also there is multiplayer, but no one playing THAT with friends, its DOA.

All I can say is if you want to play such racer either get Riptide GP or download PCSX2, find some classic ISO like Splashdown and play that. Difference in graphics compensated by far superior gameplay.

Got mixed feelings about this game. I think overall concept of survival open world game were you live in lighthouse and trying to repair it is perfectly fine. But its just terribly undercooked.

So many elements of it just there for the sake of it. Like you can craft potions, do fishing and hunt and even grow carrots and wheat in your own patch of land. Problem is - you absolutely don't need to. I crafted one potion for achievement (they useless). I gathered and grow food to finish 3 boring quests (bake 1 bread, hunt 5 animals for meat, stuff like that) and that useless too, you cant die from hunger, only thing food gave you is energy to do stuff but just sleeping in bed give you 50% of energy back anyway. You can upgrade your tools (axe, slingshot etc) but there is no point to gather resources for upgrades because you can just as easily play without upgrades. Only point is another achievement to upgrade something once.

Lets talk about maintenance of lighthouse. Every day something gets broken and that's not affecting anything! You can do repairs or you can just do quests and get stabilizers to put in every machine so its never broken again. Another mechanic that just there.

Plot just plainly bad, its big load of nothing. Quests are your standard fetch quests to give you reason to go to another islands. World is pretty small. Last 3 islands doesn't have any coherent quests, you can visit them only for achievements.

Graphics are just fine, sound and music felt generic.

Overall game felt like student project, its fine as such but certainly not worth full price. Get it for a buck on sale to score easy 100% achievements but that's it.

Blade Runner 1982 atmosphere with amazing use of pixel graphic + chill and relaxing gameplay + lots of memorable characters to interact with (android noir detective, dog AI and so many more!) = awesome game

Cozy little game with nice enviromental message. There is zero challenge, but it wasnt a problem for me. Game looks very nice and its good enough for rest from more serious titles. Easy 100% achievements if you into that.

I enjoyed graphics (except occasional frame drop when there is explosion) and biome design is sublime (City of Robots look amazing for example), art department really did well. Up until middle of the game i loved that you could choose stealth approach but there is just 2 silenced weapons and 1 stealth ability. In second half of a game you enemies will have so much HP that you just cant stealth kill them, at least on normal difficulty. Couple of words about plot – its here, and there is clear dedication to it by devs, they made cool cinematics, invested in good voice acting but I just didn’t like twist about main hero being Messiah. Plot was fine to justify all the action but not engaging for me. Gameplay was enjoyable, characters are unique enough and had some interesting special abilities. I wish game had more unique weapons. Also, it would be great if you had more than 3 characters in your party during combat. There is 5 party members to choose from but 2 slots are locked by main hero and his robot buddy so you basically have 1 slot to have some variety. Overall, it was pretty good turn-based action that I don’t regret playing at all.

Alrightish city builder. I beat main questline and had some fun with it. Although it has moments of stupidity from your population, like they get malnourished despite me having full storages of food. Resource management not great because there is like 50 different resources, its pretty difficult to navigate all of them. Side quests and catastrophes getting repeated to death. Also its Paradox so of course game feels a bit incomplete because they want you to buy DLCs. Overall its okay, but not particularly great game. Pick it with a solid discount if you fan of genre.

Absolutely terrible game. Autorunner just doesn't work with unforgiving precision platforming mechanic. There is almost no control over your character because you always running to your death and back to checkpoint, you cant even think about how to approach different segments, there is simply no time. This crap should have stayed on Epic.

As a fan of SWAT4 i thought this game would be awesome. To some extend it is, for example, very atmospheric level design. But unfortunately, game optimization is horrendous. I know, my rig is far from top of the line, but its enough to ran comfortably Red Dead Redemption 2 and Rainbow Six Siege with beautiful graphics. Why on Earth I get bad performance even on low settings in this game is beyond me. Every time my enemy starting blasting bullets at me FPS drops to slide show. And even if you try to play with such bad performance – your enemies have inhuman reaction and every damn junkie that robbing gas station has marksmanship of John Wick. Luckily I was gifted this game (thanks to that generous person again btw), so I didn’t suffer on my own dime. Maybe devs will fix issues but so far its bad game. Note to myself to return to this game in a half a year.

Fine but not great indie game. Its fun to climb mountains in turn-based manner while balancing your resources and stumbling on random encounters. Problem with those encounters that get repeated to death pretty fast. In a third mountain you basically remember most of the situation and what best outcome to choose. Also game has a plot and its purely serviceable. It starts fun something like Bermuda Triangle time loop mystery but ends with absolutely nothing at all. Reading 2 messages after end credits my only thought was "wow, that is really underwhelming". All and all its okay game to pick on a sale, not demanding from you much (i played it to rest from bigger games while listening podcasts). But with repetitive random encounters there is no incentive to replay it on higher difficulties.

Who knew that dismantling space ships can be such a relaxing experience? Very good game!
