Feywing

"Feywing" is what a game would be like if it was just a cardboard cutout of a real game. You wander around a dimly lit, probably asset flipped/kitbashed environment, doing very simple fetch quests while a bird follows you around. Shallow doesn't begin to describe it. What's the game about? Well, according to the developer, Feywing is an adventure game inspired by internet ritual stories. Navigate the "Crossroads", a strange and dangerous liminal space, to collect materials and create effigies needed for the Feywing ritual. Guided by the Feywing, players must memorize landmarks in a procedurally generated map (ugh, Procgen is NOT an ok substitute for doing the job of a game developer and creating content) to find a way to escape (I guess the developer couldn't work out how to do a map). That's rather misleading to say the least... it's just lame fetch quests. Almost but not quite the diametrical opposite of fun. I'm not sure if this is an asset flip, but it's one of those cases where the assets just look much better than the rest of the quality of the game... a glaring inconsistency. There's no evidence, but as always, the biggest problem with asset flips besides the plagiarism is the deplorably low quality of the other aspects of the game, and even if the game assets are genuinely created for the game, the quality of the rest of the game is indistinguishable from that of asset flips. It's free... now, but it wasn't before. The developer was charging $3 USD for this. Price barriers, especially on low quality products, can be a direct cause of failure. It's a nice gesture for the game to be given away for free, but it also tells us that the game wasn't good enough to succeed as a paid product. Despite having no up-front cost, this failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 3 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Not this time. This isn't worth downloading. While this won't cost you any money, you get what you pay for, and sometimes, even when the game is free, it's still not enough. [quote][url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/reviews]Developer Response![/url][/quote]The developer has weighed in to inform everyone they didn't read the [url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/reviews]Developer Usage Rules[/url] for Steam "partners", or they deliberately ignored the part where Valve says: [quote]Though it may be tempting, not every review needs to be responded to. A developer response will frequently draw more attention than the original statement, potentially turning a small issue into a much larger community discussion. It's also not a good idea to use this feature to refute customer opinions. Your direct attention can be seen as validation or a defensive attempt to silence your customers.[/quote] The first thing the developer wants everyone to know is that they are "The Main Character". You, as a gamer, don't matter. They breach Valve guidelines for developers just to complain about a fully accurate and informative review (with facts their ego doesn't like). It's evident from their attitude that they never created this product with gamers in mind. They did so to stroke their own ego. When developers, especially failed ones who would never be able to get a professional job in the industry, put themselves before gamers, we end up with garbage products like this. That explains how this trash ended up on Steam, but it doesn't excuse it. At least we finally got to meet The Main Character, and nobody else matters. Hiring an artist then failing this hard at the job of game development is a remarkable level of incompetence, and the developer admits that this product simply isn't good enough to be published on Steam and should have been removed. [i]But they won't because they are [b]THE MAIN CHARACTER[/b][/i] The developer knows this is polluting Steam and it's garbage, but they insist it remain as a testament to their own ego, and the pollution it causes, junk that gamers have to avoid and genuine amateur developers who do the right thing have to compete with. This is absolutely harmful, but remember, the developers ego is far more important than you or anyone else. This self-centered, arrogant attitude is disgusting, but it explains so much how such a godawful product that should never have been published ended up on Steam. Nothing in the developers pointless breach of Valve guidelines changes any of the objective facts of my review. My review stands unaltered. I cannot recommend this failure to anyone.

Fun little game where you try to figure out how to unlock secret endings.

Игра 'Feywing' оказалась приятным сюрпризом. Простое управление и симпатичная графика создают расслабляющую атмосферу. Полет по сказочным локациям доставляет удовольствие, особенно с учетом разнообразия заданий. Собирать светлячков и уклоняться от препятствий не надоедает благодаря плавному геймплею и постепенному усложнению. Несмотря на кажущуюся простоту, в игре есть, что исследовать. Сбор коллекционных предметов добавляет реиграбельности, а таблица лидеров стимулирует улучшать свои результаты. Милая мелодия и звуковые эффекты хорошо дополняют визуальный стиль. Единственный минус – короткая продолжительность. Хотелось бы больше уровней и новых механик, чтобы глубже погрузиться в мир 'Feywing'. В целом, игра отлично подходит для коротких сессий, когда нужно отвлечься и расслабиться. Рекомендую всем, кто ищет простую, но увлекательную аркаду.
