Aexia

Aexia is not a game. Games contain meaningful gamelike interaction and game loops, which are absent in this software. Instead of being a game, Aexia is a software application that yet again tries to create a crappy VR "metaverse", except the developers, after launching the app in an incomplete state, discovered nobody wants a crappy "metaverse" app on Steam, so they abandoned it and walked away, after leaving this here on Steam to pollute the place. This only had a peak user count of 5 very disappointed people, and that only happened once. Talk about failing hard. For those unfamiliar with what actually makes something a game, a "game loop" describes the interaction and feedback a gamer has when playing a game. Tetris, for example, has a game loop where a random block appears, the gamer interacts with the block to position it, and then the game decides if that finishes a row or not, increases the players score if any rows were completed, then gives the gamer another block to position. Counter-Strike has a game loop where a player seeks another player, tests their skill against that player by shooting them or being shot, the computer rewards the player if they win, and then if the player survives, they repeat that loop. There's no loop here, no true interactive feedback. It simply is not a game, it cannot be "played". This has misleadingly been launched in the "Games" section of Steam instead of the "Software" section. This is a common mistake for developers who are new to Steam, or don't understand the difference between games and software which isn't a game. It seems this software published incorrectly as a game is simply lack of experience/knowledge of the correct process. Here's a link for the process to publish non-game software on Steam: [url=https://help.steampowered.com/en/wizard/HelpWithPublishing?issueid=925]Steam Developer Help With Software Publishing[/url] It's unfortunate this process was not known about/followed, resulting in a software application being published in the wrong place. Publishing things which aren't games on Steam in the Games section as games is misleading to gamers and somewhat harmful, because it pollutes the Steam marketplace and takes away visibility and market exposure for genuine game developers who do the right thing and make games for gamers. There are no gameplay loops in this software, no "gameplay", no meaningful game like interaction. It's a software application and as such has no merits as a video game for gamers. Because of this, I cannot recommend this non-game software as a game to gamers.

немного беспокоит связь, в остальном вполне неплохая система.

Игра Aexia — это настоящее погружение в мир фэнтези, где каждый уголок карты манит своей тайной. С первых минут втягиваешься в сюжет, который, хоть и кажется знакомым, подается с такой интригой, что оторваться невозможно. Графика приятно удивляет — проработанные локации, детализированные персонажи и впечатляющие спецэффекты создают ощущение полного присутствия. Геймплей разнообразен: здесь и динамичные бои, требующие тактического мышления, и головоломки, которые заставят пошевелить мозгами, и даже элементы строительства, добавляющие глубины. Особо радует система развития персонажа, позволяющая создавать уникальные билды и подстраивать игру под свой стиль. Музыкальное сопровождение идеально дополняет атмосферу, то погружая в меланхоличные раздумья, то подстегивая к подвигам. Aexia — это проект, в который вложено много труда и души, и это чувствуется в каждой мелочи. Рекомендую всем любителям жанра!
