Broken : Paranormal investigation

Salut ! Fan de jeux d'énigmes, de survies, d'enquêtes, de paranormales et d'exorcismes ? Bienvenue sur Broken ! Une vidéo découverte si vous le souhaitez ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYHs3SgYqeQ&t=1s&ab_channel=REC.BRUTAL_E.T je recommande :)

EDIT (April 17th, 2023): Decided to check out the store page for this game again after awhile... Seems like the last update was half a year ago and the developers are silent everywhere? Seems to be a failed asset flip and is now abandonware, good. ORIGINAL REVIEW Oh boy, where do I begin with this? Broken is a paranormal investigation game, much in the same vein as Phasmophobia and other games that followed it to create the new genre of ghost hunting games. The game looks promising, judging by the store picture gallery and description, but don't fall for them. The first thing that took me aback was the install size, which came in at a whopping 17.5 GB. With the exception of Phasmophobia, every other game I've tried in this genre has only been a few gigs. This made me raise my eyebrow. Finally, getting into the game, the intro and menus all used Unity assets, no big deal, but it made me laugh since I'm so used to see the same intro that Obsideo and another game use. The English in the game is... Awful. Now, I know the developers are French(?), but comn, hire someone on Fiverr or something to translate for you. Aside from the English, formatting issues are present everywhere, for example, the characters have classes, and one of the classes for a character is "Class:". The characters also have nationalities, and one of them is from the long lost country of "Compass". Getting into the gameplay, starting with the tutorial. A tutorial is meant to tell someone how to do or achieve something. This game fails to do that. It only tells you part of the game, and gives you only a couple of pieces of equipment to fully use, everything else is an after thought. The game fails to properly explain that you have to collect evidence to determine the ghost type you are dealing with. It fails to tell you how to defend yourself from the entity, it also fails to establish the basic gameplay loop. Getting into an actual match, the game is a disaster. You are essentially lost in a Unity sandbox, only knowing the bare minimum of what to do, which isn't even enough to achieve all the objectives. But, don't worry! The ghost doesn't seem to pose a threat, they just slowly follow you, and when they do decide to do a jumpscare, it's so pathetic that I laughed every time it tried, like a toddler saying "boo" to you. But the jumpscares would only happen, if the ghost didn't get stuck. I have a recorded clip of the ghost being stuck, and my friend smashing it with the baseball bat over and over again, and just screams of pain audio clips, clipping into each other. That was the most enjoyment we got from this mess. Not going to rag to much on the asset usage, as a lot of games in this genre utilize the Unity store, but it gets jarring to see the same house from Ghost Excorism INC, the same hospital from Forsake, the same playroom from Devour, et cetra. Makes me wonder if there are any original assets in the game. Stay away from this mess. My friend bought us each a copy of his own doing, and I apologized that he bought this. Let the fact that this was refunded speak volumes. Broken truly lives up to its name.

Bonjour,je donne mon avis sur le jeu!! Broken est un jeu incompris juger trop rapidement après quelques heures de jeu!! Rien n'est facile dans Broken, on vous prend pas par la main, on vous explique rapidement les choses les plus simples mais j'ai l'impression qu’aujourd’hui, faut faire des tutos pour des personnes qui savent pas réfléchir par eux même , sa en devient lassant!! Donc oui je conseille Broken, si vous aimez les enquêtes et pas seulement de la découverte de fantôme et un retour à la maison!! Il y a une histoire dans chaque game, un exorcisme à faire qui est différent a chaque partie, comprendre et enquêter pour découvrir les objets et autres indications pour le réussir, parler au fantôme, lui poser des questions a l'aide la ouija pour trouver la vérité!! Une derniere choses: une masse , sa sert à casser des murs et si vous pouvez faire toctoc avec le bouton E , Réfléchissez! Mais une vidéo vaut mieux que des mots donc bon visionnage et stop tj tous comparer a un autre jeu. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzKc4FvAHeI&t=22s&ab_channel=maitreleee

At first i have to say that i don´t like horror games in general, but when i got this one to try out, i got interested! The game is still in EA but already looks and feels great and in discord community and in steam you can see that developers are constantly improving the game and they are fixing bugs ASAP. I haven´t played this more than 1 hour yet, but i have a feeling i will be playing this for many hours to come and i will write another review after that. Looking forward to see the story mode!

Après avoir reçu une clé du jeu, j'ai testé celui-ci deux jours de suite, voici mes retours sur la béta du jeu. Les points positifs que j'ai à remonter : - La diversité des maps - Le fait que les personnages aient chacun des compétences différentes - Les différents skins des fantômes Les points négatifs : - Un tutoriel extrêmement pauvre à mon gout, il dure même pas deux minutes pour en réalité rien expliquer sur ce qu'on doit faire. Aucune explication du matériel, comment l'utiliser et les indices qu'ils permettent de détecter. - L'impossibilité de modifier la densité du micro de ses co-équipiers - Beaucoup de bug quand on lance en multijoueur, bug de touches, certaines personnes qui restent bloquer en chargement, une personne qui ne peut pas bouger du tout, problèmes de synchronisations. - L'impression que des indices ne pop pas du tout pendant la game, ce qui fait qu'on ne peut même pas aller jusqu'au bout de la game. - Le fait qu'au bout d'un certain temps on est carrément déconnecté de la game pour raison inconnue. - Fautes d'orthographes dans les textes français. [22:21] Je reconnais le travail fournis sur la volonté de créer un jeu qui veut se différencier de phasmophobia et autres jeux similaires. Cependant, pour moi il s'agit d'une alpha plutôt que d'une bêta. Il est impossible à l'heure actuelle de terminer une seule game qu'on soit solo ou en multi. J'ai testé le mode intermédiaire ou je me faisais attaquer h24 alors qu'en mode cauchemars, le fantôme était inexistant ce qui est full incohérent. A l'heure actuelle, je ne recommanderais pas le jeu, il y a beaucoup trop de choses à revoir pour un jeu qui se vend 10 euros en beta (j'imagine qu'il s'agit de récolter des fonds pour améliorer le jeu mais je trouve quand même que c'est quelque peu abusé pour ce qu'il offre) Je remercie tout de même l'équipe pour la clé, je pense avoir fait le tour du jeu à l'heure actuelle, à voir par la suite les modifications apportées et règlements de bugs. Bonne continuation à toute l'équipe.

Trying to solve puzzle under pressure is very fun ! It would be appreciated if the developpers add more contents but this is a good start.

Bonjour, j'adore le jeu. Serait-il possible de résoudre les bugs du médium qui perd ses capacités et bug à un certain moment du jeu

Honestly I love the game but it has some problems one the tutorial is great and all but the Ouija board only works in the tutorial but needs to go more deep into the tutorial like perhaps show more of the rituals to exorcism the ghosts and more detail about digitalprints and fingerprints but other then that the game is amazing besides the Ouija board doesn't work in game it self and then there's the spam the spacebar what's the point of spamming the spacebar if you can't escape no matter how fast you tap the spacebar I see it as pointless yes it makes the game more harder but still I tap fast but no escape what so ever other then that game is amazing on another note the ghost orbs are way to small and the dust around the room makes it hard to know if it's ghost orbs or not.

better than devour and phasmophobia

Want to like it, but its far from being recommended. Other negative reviews give you basically the idea. Even on sale, its not ready yet, I do like parts and ideas of the game and while it is in EA its very hard to say anything good/worth checking out. The training I thought was good until I started an actual level and went, wow they left out a decent chunk of how to actually play levels and such and lock picking (easy enough to figure out but). But the ghost or whatever was attacking me at first made my gf jump and scream once, it was basically as easy as walking away from it while it slowly came for you. I do like the idea of having different characters and classes with different skills but you are not told about it until your actually playing the game.
