Boti: Byteland Overclocked

x-- 5/10 --x It disheartens me to leave a negative review, but unfotunately my experience was quite shoddy with this game. + The OST is amazing! Absolutely loved all the music + Boti is so adorable, loved him so much + The levels were big and well structured - FATAL ERROR BUG - crashed my game a total of 9 times. It even crashed at a save point, which corrupted my save file, so I had to start the game again. - I ran into a few glitches, while not too serious as the fatal error bug, was still immersive breaking - Sound glitches galore. One and Zero were constantly late on commenting, repeating the same lines WAY too often, and certain sounds would not play - The slides are completely unfair and almost impossible to complete. It took me HOURS to get trophies for them all. They're just not well optimised. - Combat was very bland, the boss fights at least gave some sort of challenge. - DLC's were open from the start, which was hella confusing for me because I couldn't progress through them since I did not have all the powerups. These should have been made available after getting certain powerups in the main game. - The magnetic power up is flawed. Firstly it wouldn't work properly in the 2nd level, so I could not progress, and secondly, trying to catapult with it almost made me throw my controller.

This game does have a lot of potential, it has a fun story line, fun graphics, it is not too hard but still entertainable, however unfortunately coop does not work well at all. The game bugs out and lags a lot making it unplayable at times, where you have to go back to the lobby in order for it to 'reset' again. I would with the state this game is in right now, not recommend buying it if you plan on playing together, not even if it is on sale.

[b]KAMGUSTA'S MINI REVIEW[/b] It's an easy, colorful (I love it!), bright, humorous, charming and fun 3D platformer set in a "hardware" world. You destroy ".zip" boxes, you collect "Bytes", you jump on "bugs", you enter inside CPUs... It may remind you of "Astro's Playroom" for PS5. You can also play it co-op with one of your friends! I had a couple of crashes, but that shouldn't diminish all the good things about this game (there is also a narrator voice that keeps you company on your journey). Keep it up guys! Thumbs up!

Welp, it started out as a really fun sorta linear 3D platformer that was kinda chill, nice music, looked nice with lots of color, fun to play game. But then the frame rate started to tank from 60 to the 40s and everywhere in between, like a cheap hooker. Then it was the grapple/push ability- awkward to control and horrible to use, I hate it. Then the framerate got worse. Some levels were in the low 30s to mid 40s all over the place like Methany looking for her next quick fix while sniffing an oily tire in the woods. After that the levels flow felt absolutely terrible. Level 3 was just, ugh. And that's another thing- these levels are way too long. Like a dude with a giant monster dong is trying to bang you. Like ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ if you're gonna ♥♥♥♥ me, you're gonna really ♥♥♥♥ me. Even worse with the 2 talking floating clocks that follow you through every level. Some of the dialogue is fine but I absolutely cannot stand the bickerings between the 2 idiots. Please shut up. I'm trying to play and enjoy the game and you 2 yapping all this nonsense all the time is gonna break my foot off in yo' ass. In addition I really started to dislike how while I'm in a level there's bad guys of course but there's also tons of friendly NPCs just bopping around and I dunno but that feels weird. They should be only jamming along in the player hub world. And the currency you get can be used to purchase places in your hub world which seem to serve no purpose but to waste your money. No upgrades to buy it seems either. I dunno like a lot of stuff the game doesn't really show you very well or at all. Final nail in the coffin is the Fatal Error and crash. Im getting it a lot in level 4 and the game actually sets me back much further than I was, so will all that bad stuff combined I previously mentioned, ♥♥♥♥ this ♥♥♥♥ I'm out. I wanted to like it but with zero dev interaction on Steam it'll probably stay that way unfortunately. It's really too bad because I think they have something that could be really fun. Time will tell.

双人成行，但是各玩各的

真的是粑粑游戏

I really wish I could recommend this game. If I could give a middling review, I would, but I gotta edge towards slightly negative on this one. Conceptually, you got a great game. You play a cute little data courier robot named Boti, accompanied by two smaller bots named One and Zero, who handle all communication in the game, since Boti is mute. Your goal is to overclock the system of the computer world you live in, and then figure out why a lot of problems cropped up as a result. What you have here is your typical enough linear 3D platformer, with side paths to take to get bonus goodies like currency, data logs, and extra costumes. You go through various different worlds, all corresponding to different parts of the computer, CPU, Network Adapter, GPU, PSU, etc. Reminds me very much of Astro's Playroom on PS5. You have some really good art design for these areas, and some decent music to go along with it, though nothing that ended up being an earworm. Unfortunately, that's about where my praise ends. Physics-wise, Boti feels a bit on the heavy side when jumping, and it just doesn't feel all that satisfying, as a result. Doesn't help that the physics feel a bit janky at times, especially when dealing with the magnetism ability, which lets you swing and launch off certain objects. Aside from that, and some minor bugs, that major one I cannot ignore is just how often the game crashes. It's probably crashed over a dozen times in my playthrough, and it mostly seems to stem from something in the physics it just...wasn't expecting, I suppose. Sometimes it happens when breaking boxes, sometimes from taking damage, etc. This is the one thing that I'd really need to see fixed before I could say I'd recommend this game. Oh, and the sliding sections. You have to get 100% of the notes on each section if you are to earn the trophy for it, which is just a ridiculous ask considering how slippery and janky the physics during these sections are. If you demand perfection of me, then I am going to demand perfection right back, or I'm not putting up with it. I think if these sections asked for 95% instead of 100%, it would be a lot more reasonable. I'm hoping these issues can be resolved, but given the game is 2.5 years old at this point, I have my doubts. Again, it's a shame, because you have a really good concept here, and a lot of good things about it realized, but the bad just weighs it down too much.

Stay far away from this game. It is absolutely riddled with bugs, crashes, synchronization problems, and visual glitches. Maybe it performs better in local co-op, but based on my experience with online co-op, I would not recommend taking the risk. During our playthrough, we encountered multiple crashes and countless technical issues. The player joining the session would sometimes be unable to see platforms or movable objects that were clearly visible to the host, making progression frustrating. Enemy behavior was equally broken; some enemies don't move, others became completely invincible, and some wouldn't even disappear after being defeated. What should have been a fun co-op experience turned into a constant battle against the game's technical problems.

Jogo cheio de bugs, péssima experiência

Let's be honest this game is nothing new or phenomenal. You get a cute robot character in a cute world with forced in co-op and fluid mechanics. Requires a little bit of skill in later levels but nothing a child couldnt handle. For a grown up this game is boring but it is a nice game to play with your younger family member and a good game to get them familiarized with a controller. No regrets buying it as it was only 1.75 on fanatical but if I paid full price it would have been thumbs down.
