Cybergeist

⠀

Cybergeist'in polisler tarafından haksız yere avlandığı iddia edilen suçu: seri çekim moduna sahip bir android olmak. Bu siberpunk temalı sonsuz koşu oyununda elinden geldiğince kaçmasına yardım et. Patlama kürelerini toplayın, patlama modunu etkinleştirin ve hepsini yok edin!

"Cybergeist" is ostensibly an endless runner, a pointless exercise where you can't stop running and you have to dodge stuff... the kind of gameplay so lame that it makes Flappy Bird look like Baldur's Gate 3. But there's more to it, and I have my doubts... call me a cynic if you like, but I've seen enough asset flipping and creatively bankrupt "amateur" projects on Steam to notice a lot of warning signs. What do you do in the game? Move left and right to avoid things as you run down the highway. Seriously, I can't see how this could be anything other than someone asset flipping a Sega Out-Run game template and sticking a pixelcrap running guy animation over where the car was. Asset flip or not, however, one thing is true; this garbage is barely a game and has no real value for gamers. The game is really simple and unambitious in terms of implementation, more of a tech demo or one of those cases where an amateur developer spends $100 to publish something on Steam Direct to see if it's possible. Yes, obviously it's possible. A proof of concept, tech demo, or something that's less than a little blip on the radar isn't offering anything truly valuable to gamers. This features really godawful pixelcrap "art" instead of real graphics. It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter. What matters is that this looks much worse than most other games because of that decision, and that's a major deterrent to gamers. Games like Terraria and Stardew Valley succeeded [i]despite[/i] the bad graphics, not because of them. This game is fairly dated at 5 years old... and even back then it looked old and busted compared to contemporary, professionally made 3D games of the same period. It looked bad then, it looks worse now. Now on to pricing and value for gamers. There's no initial download price, but the developer was charging $1 USD for this. Price barriers, especially on low quality products, can be a direct cause of failure. It seems like a nice gesture for the game to have no up-front cost anymore, but it also tells us that the game wasn't good enough to succeed as a paid product. This is also a bit of a slap in the face to anyone who showed enough questionable judgement to pay money for this... nobody got refunded. In terms of public reception, this failed. There's over 130 million unique gamers visiting Steam every month. SteamDB showed the game peaked at [b]only 2 concurrent players[/b]... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Given that this free title won't increase your game collector count, is it worth your time to add it to your library? I think you should give this one a miss. Although it's free, your time and storage are valuable resources, and the market is filled with superior options.
