7Groves

навіть не знаю як описати не зрозуміле гівно але гарне ось так прімерно

Really chill and fun game. I really like that it's up to the player to figure out what the main objectives are, allowing exploring and taking in the environment to take the main stage. Unfortunately the head bobbing-- while atmospheric and fitting-- made me feel pretty motion sick. After about 80ish minutes of play I had to take a break and grab a zofran. Really nice atmospheric game, I just wish I could play longer.

Игргуля хоть и красивая (при 1650 на ноуте фпс от 20 до 45), но звуки на фоне ОЧЕНЬ сильно давит тебя в темных локациях. Атмосфера такая, что как будто что то нечто выпрыгнет на тебя, и ты напряженно бродишь в релаксирующей игре Нет сейва и/или сохранение прогресса. Игра зависла в лабиринте, и предлагает начать новую игру. И больше ничего В главном меню только "новая игра "и ВСЁ. Ни "настройки", чтоб понять как взаимодействовать, ни "сохранения" с "загрузками", ни "выйти из игры"....

"It's all about the experience" Well I was bored of the aimless wandering after 4 minutes.

♥♥♥♥♥ какая-то.

Very pretty environments to walk around in, all you really need.

This game is mainly a visual showcase. It's free, go for it. It is stylized, it looks nice, but that's where the good stuff ends. Since it is a game, I am going to rate the gameplay. The game, as the name implies, features seven distinct reagions, biomes, which the player gets to explore, some not being initially accessible. They are interconnected, each hiding a number of distinct keys which unlock access to other regions. So far so good. You'd expect as much from a walking simulator. The problems with this: 1. Show don't tell in bad way: the game relies on being familiar with (basic) gamer logic. There is no indicator that you can pick up keys and which button is used to interact with them or the world. The amount of keys you have collected is only shown temporarily when you pick a new one. 2. Map design: maps usually feature a linear path surrounded by uninteresting, uninteractive, featureless dead space. However, players need to traverse and explore this dead space since that is where the keys are hidden. No hidden glades or intriguing natural design rewarding the player to stray off the path. 3. Back tracking, lots of it. Especially since the exploration approach often ends you up in a dead end, aka a locked portal, forcing you, at a slow pace, to backtrack bland areas. The game neither features running nor fast travel. 4. Puzzle out of nowhere: of the seven regions, while all of them require exploration to solve, one also features a mandatory puzzle. This concept is never introduced before, nor explained, nor picked up on again. Again, relying on gamer logic and being familiar with such concepts. 5. Regions being closed off: returning from a region that required unlocking locks it again. I'm not sure if this was because I found all keys in the area nor did I want to find out. I couldn't revisit them. While this reduces the exploration complexity, it also prevents the player from enjoying the main feature of admiring the sometimes beautifully designed biomes. 6. Requires above average sense of space: between being required to traverse featureless dead space, a labyrinthian biome, wide open areas and an actual maze, the game neither features a map, nor quick travel, nor a reset option. Players who have a hard time getting a grasp of where they are will have serious issues finishing this game. 7. No clear end: I collected and used keys of all regions. There was no indicator if this ended the game or not. Since I explored the entire world I assumed this it where it ended, but I cannot be sure. From a gameplay standpoint, I think this game is terribly designed. If you have nothing better to do, go for it, otherwise avoid it.

Игра "7Groves" - это увлекательное сочетание головоломки и стратегии с элементами roguelike. Визуально игра радует минималистичным, но приятным стилем, а спокойная музыка создает атмосферу медитативного геймплея. Основная механика заключается в управлении колодой карт, каждая из которых представляет действие, необходимое для выживания в каждом из семи лесов. Каждое прохождение уникально благодаря случайной генерации карт и противников. Нужно тщательно планировать свои ходы, учитывая ограниченные ресурсы и постоянно растущую сложность. Неправильное решение может быстро привести к гибели, заставляя начинать все сначала. Несмотря на кажущуюся простоту, "7Groves" обладает значительной глубиной и требует вдумчивого подхода. Некоторые могут посчитать высокий уровень сложности отталкивающим, но для любителей сложных головоломок, требующих стратегического мышления и адаптации, эта игра станет настоящей находкой. Особенно приятно, что даже после нескольких провалов, всегда есть ощущение, что на этот раз можно сыграть лучше и дойти дальше. Рекомендую!

I wandered into this dreamy forest stroll of a game with the expectation of some relaxing bear-like ambling around surreal woods and puzzles, but it fell a bit flat. The premise is simple: explore seven odd worlds, collect items and solve puzzles in stylised environments. What works: The visuals are quite nice — the painterly, impressionistic effect gives the game a unique art style and the environments are suitably weird and atmospheric. It does deliver on a peaceful, exploratory vibe for a bit. What doesn’t work: But then the flaws show up. There’s almost zero user guidance or meaningful interaction so you can feel lost or aimless very quickly. One player said it “felt extremely trivial” because nothing you did seemed to matter in the end. Also motion-sickness, lack of settings or polish and unclear objectives drag it down. In short: if you’re a bear looking for some aimless visual wandering and don’t mind little gameplay or direction, you might give it a shot anyway.
