Cave hikers is a nice, relaxing adventure game with hidden object elements. The best aspects for me were the colorful graphics/art style, those cute, sympathetic characters, and the humor. The English language narrator of the story is very good, it's obviously an actor. It's good that the puzzles are intuitive and easy, which is not the case in many adventure games nowadays. In Cave Hikers, everything can be solved relatively easily. For every puzzle it becomes clear very quickly what you have to do, and for some of them you have to try a few times in order to move on, like in the last puzzle sequence, but in the end you will succeed and you will feel a sense of accomplishment because no you tube walkthrough will be needed. The game seems to be made especially for children and young people, or for families so that parents can play with their own children. The game is very short. The story could have been developed a little more and it ends abruptly, in my opinion. For example, it's not explained who the Cave Hikers are and why they decided to go on that adventure? What is their motivation/quest? To conclude, I recommend this game to people who want to rest and relax between 2 long and tiresome games. Also to people who love the adventure and hidden object genre and to parents who want to play a relaxing game with their children.
Vor dem Spielen von Cave Hikers hatte ich keinerlei Erwartungen. Im Gegenteil, befürchtete ich ein ziemlich belangloses, grafisch biederes Spielerlebnis. Erfreulicherweise wurde ich aber auf ganzer Linie positiv überrascht. Das beginnt schon bei der Grafik. Ja, beim Hauptmenü befürchtete ich noch schlimmes. Tatsächlich erweist sich das Spiel aber als wirklich liebevoll gemacht. Zwar ist der Grafikstil eigen und in einer gewissen Weise auch einfach, aber im Spiel erweist sich das Ganze dann als überaus sympathisch und stimmig. Die Story dreht sich um drei Figuren, die sich auf eine Reise durch ihre abgedrehte Welt machen. Und abgedreht meine ich hier absolut positiv, denn das Spiel strotzt nur so von witzigen und kreativen Figuren und Orten. Dabei hatte ich nie das Gefühl, dass das Spiel völlig ins Überdrehte abdriftete, sondern schlicht und einfach eine herrlich kreative Welt zeichnet. Und genau das macht dieses Spiel aus: Es ist kreativ. Es wirkt, als ob jemand hier einfach seiner Fantasie ziemlich freien Lauf lies. Entsprechend vernachlässigbar ist die eigentliche Story. Das ist etwas schade, zumal das Ende eher abrupt und naja jetzt nicht das beste Ende ever ist. Aber es ist auch nicht ein Katastrophenende oder gar ein Cliffhanger wie anderswo. Und dafür kommt die Kreativität der Macher wirklich voll zum tragen. Dabei hilft der absolut hervorragende, englische Sprecher, der massiv zur Atmosphäre beiträgt. Einen deutschen Sprecher gibt es nicht, aber alle Texte sind auf Deutsch untertitelt. Ebenfalls wunderbar passend ist der Soundtrack. Bleibt natürlich noch die Frage nach dem Gameplay. Dieses ist sicher eher seicht und besteht oft aus eher simplen "Suche die Gegenstände im Bild" oder "drücke zur rechten Zeit die Maustaste". In den rund 2 Stunden Spielzeit gibt es meines Erachtens aber genügend Abwechslung, dass es wirklich Spass macht. Und dadurch, dass die Rätsel eher leicht sind, kommt man auch gut voran, was dem Flow und der Atmosphäre sehr zuträglich ist. Einzig ganz am Ende im Labyrinth gibt es zwei wirklich doofe Rätsel, die das Gesamtbild etwas versauen (eines, bei dem wirklich nicht klar ist, was man tun soll [siehe Lösung in den Kommentaren] und eines, wo man eine viel zu lange Reihe von Rätseln und Geschicklichkeitsspielen am Stück richtig lösen muss oder wieder die ganze Reihe von vorne anfangen muss). So schade es ist, dass die das Gesamtbild ein bisschen trüben, ist es wirklich nur ein bisschen. Insgesamt hat mir das Spiel grossen Spass gemacht. Fazit: Ein unterhaltsames Adventure, das ich jedem Adventurefan herzlichst empfehlen kann
I've been having a delightful time playing recent release Cave Hikers, a gorgeous new point and click that's great for everyone but perfect for young players. The puzzles are easy but enjoyable and I love the high interactivity, sense of humour, and mockumentary style. Cave Hikers is a delightful and unique point and click adventure with a charming story and characters, plenty of fun interactivity, nice cutscenes and visual storytelling. Fantastic for young players. For more niche curation, follow me at: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/27440015-CSH-Picone/
This game has the goofy charm of a confused pigeon. It's a tiny, cozy adventure for anyone who enjoys silly fun and nonsense. Beware of balloons :D
Adorably weird. A Chuchel esque adventure in the style of an alien nature documentary. A bit of difficulty spike in the last section that I'm guessing was meant to pad out the playtime but otherwise a fun romp.
enjoyed it
Really cute miniature. If you can pick this up for maybe £2 or whatever that is in Euros then this is an appealing, charismatic way to unwind and relax. Very cute and positive but never saccharine; this feels influenced by picture books and makes the subterranean world into a magical adventure. The gameplay is mostly this hidden object search but with other types of games and puzzles sprinkled in and while on the hole pretty easy there are some head scratching moments. Nothing oblique, you just have to think carefully about using what is at your disposal or even right in front of you. Nothing hevy, just a bit of fun. It's hard to say who this is really for since it seems a bit cutesy for adults and a bit too restrained for kids but I liked it and I'm one of those adults that likes picture books and kids' shows. Also it must be said that Aki is so cute and hot... maybe the second hottest cephalod I've seen in fiction this year after Rubie Gillman. Finally: it's a Croatian game. Croatia! What kind of art or media have you ever consumed that was Croatian? First Sweden gives us Little Nightmares, then Gris from Spain and Italy gives us Children of Silenttown...countries I wasn't even sure knew about videogames are stepping up and I love it.
This was a charming puzzle game with puzzles that were mostly intuitive, some QTEs, and hidden object collectibles. Some puzzles were harder than others, simply because it took a while to figure out what they were asking for, but nothing that kept me stuck for too long. The narrator was fantastic, and I would absolutely recommend it for younger players, or people who want something laid back and stress free.
Short but sweet. Love the art, animation and style. Music and voiceover are great. The story and puzzles are simple, but enjoyable. Great for parents to play with their kids, or for kids to play on their own. It feels as a mobile-first game and the UI isn't always ideal on PC, some things could be indicated/explained better. Overall, an enjoyable few hours to spend, especially together with a child who will be delighted with everything that's going on on screen.
Por lo que llevo jugado es muy sencillo, creo que está bien hecho pero es para edades de entre ocho y diez años. Lo veo difícil de disfrutar para personas adultas.
