A Rat's Quest - The Way Back Home | Season 1

A fun platformer remineicent of older consoles. And that comes with all of the good and the bad of those eras - fun exploration, irritating failed jumps and ledge grabs. Fetch quests are minimized and its not a collectathon so there's less need to check every corner of every level.The story isn't deep but it does the job, and the mouse is very cute.

It's pretty Ratsome. A solid platformer that brings you back to alot of the ogs we had we growing up. (Donkey Kong Country, Rachet and Clank, Pumpkin Jack, etc.) Unfortantly the devs are releasing the game in (what I understand) is 2 seasons. this being season 1 and then season 2 being released seperatly, later this year. I really hope they give a HEAVY discount on the next season because the season is pretty short for the $25+ price tag. I beat the game in 4.5 hours and that was with a decent amount of exploring and messing around. (the game wont close when I exit it, hence the longer play time) - the story isnt anything revolutionary but its a decent one with some good voice acting and moments - Its a platformer so youll have some "WHAT THE F*** WAS THAT' moments when you "fail" a jump or miss a grab, but overall its a really fun and quite unique world to explore. -Alright sound track, decent audio all around -although we dont get much actual combat in this season, it was a nice little addition to help keep things unique and avoid over repetition A solid 7/10. Cant wait to (finsih?) the stroy off in season 2!

I really wanted to enjoy A Rat's Quest, the description for the game ticked so many boxes of games that I enjoy but unfortunately it just didn't live up to expectations. I was very dubious about this being "Season 1" any games that are split up into seasons/episodes always worry me that they are releasing and unfinished project to be able to get back some development costs for the game and hope to finish the project later, or if the game is not received well to cut their losses and move on. I am not saying this is what has happened here this is just my general worry with games being released in this way. I started the game and you are taken through some simple opening platforming tasks like any tutorial section at the start of a game, however this was where I began to seriously doubt the gameplay aspects of the title. The jumping just felt extremely unresponsive. You press the button and rather then feeling you jump with any real momentum or purpose its like you just float up from where you left the grown and move forward or upward a bit. It was more like you press the button and an invisible force picks up the character and moves it to where you are aiming. The camera by default was hard to control, it was on 1.5 sensitivity as a default which confused me as surely you would want your default as either 0 or 1. It took me some time messing around with these settings to feel at all ok with its movement. The writing felt as if they were trying way too hard to force jokes and puns into conversation and most felt unneeded or very out of place. They were very cheesey one liners which would have been fine if they weren't so frequent. Overall I cannot recommend the game in its current state. I do really hope that the devs are given time to continue to work on the core mechanics of the game to give the platforming more feeling of involvement rather than the lifeless feeling it has now.

I really wanted to enjoy this game, it looks incredibly cute and I liked a lot of its ideas and design elements. Unfortunately, the controls and camera angles during jumps and obstacle sections made the experience frustrating. They often felt unresponsive or awkward, which made even simple sections harder than they should be. After about an hour, I had to stop playing because it just wasn’t enjoyable anymore.

A Rat's Quest is about 6 hour long ratventure with cute graphics, romance, comedic moments, airheaded main character and somewhat mysterious story. The game centers around 3D ratforming and simple puzzles. The story is slightly mysterious, accompanied by romance and a lot furring (trust me, this one makes much more sense in the game). The humour in the game was sometimes funny, other times not so much, but that might just be a me thing. The visual aspect of the game is good, however cutscenes look for some reason noisy/blurry, not sure if that was intentional or not, but they looked visually worse in comparison to the game itself that looked nice and sharp. Voice acting was pretty good, but the audio itself would sometimes within the same scene jump between loud and quiet. The gameplay was really fun, but sometimes the controls and camera would fight with you and that could lead to frustration and failure, but overall it was enjoyable except for some parts of the game. You'd also see the game from different angles, either side view or top down view, which I liked, it would give you a break from the 3D ratforming and you'd instead do some crawling around to find your way from A to B, or have a simple box moving puzzles to create a path. Besides some of the game's quirks it's a rather enjoyable game that was worth finishing. It's probably not a game I'd replay, but I enjoyed it nonetheless and am looking forward to the second season. The story was intriguing for me and the humour did make me laugh sometimes, even though other times I'd cringe instead. I really liked the third person perspective of the "rat life" the game offers you and so overall I would recommend the game if you like rats, ratformers, simple puzzles, story driven games and some humour to go with it, even if at times it could get a little cringe.

Based off the little I've played. seems like it'd be a cute game, no desire to find out though as it certainly isn't my kind of game. Do you like button press context heavy 3rd person platforming, especially on a time limit at times? If so, this will be right up your alley. If not, stay away. frankly i find it just frustrating and 'filler' gameplay, particularly if it's only there to server a minor plot point to progress the story, just padding out playtime basically. In gameplay itself it looks good graphically with everything maxed out, cut scenes/videos look like they're upscaled from 720p, have heavy ghosting and artifacting (they really look terrible on a 4k display), but somehow use more VRAM than gameplay sections themselves do. As I received it for free, no big loss on my part. But unless you're really into replaying Super Mario 64 but as a Rat and made in Unity Engine steer clear, and even then if that's your sort of thing I'm not sure the asking price is worth it. sort of wish i could leave neither a thumbs up or down as i know it's clearly not my thing - going to give it an up as i know that there are people that would enjoy it, and it's likely designed for users much younger than myself.

Игра построена на паркуре и как говорится запроектирована на использование контроллера. После 2,5 часов игры остались одни отрицательные эмоции. Камера ужасная. Ее нужно режиссировать на каждый поворот трассы, а не оставлять на усмотрение игрока. Прыжок работает через раз из-за корявых коллизий с окружением. Персонажа мотает из-за странных коллизий стен при выпрыгивании. Игра не стоит своих денег. Разработчикам нужно показывать как пример нормальной игры про мышей и крыс Ghost of a tale.

This game is ratsome

Sehr süßes Spiel Story sehr zu empfehlen! einziges Manko Die Videosequenzen sehen jetzt nicht prickelnd aus sonst bis jetzt keine Fehler abstürze oder Probleme und keine Bugs würde das spiel jedem ans herz legen der Kinder hat ;)
