Fugl

boring and repetitive with nothing to do but aimlessly fly around the same endlessly looping maps, and the controls feel so clunky and inelegant that it's unpleasant to do even that. disappointingly, the different biomes don't actually connect to each other so there's no sense of exploration or progress through different landscapes, just infinitely repeating pre-generated terrain that quickly loses its novelty. there are no weather effects or day/night cycles to add at least [i]some[/i] variety to an otherwise bland experience, no unique structures or landmarks to create points of interest and a sense of discovery, no threats from the environment or other animals to provide challenge and excitement, no objects of interest to play with or eat or carry around, no interesting events or interactions in general, and the only thing you can collect is the animal forms your bird can very loosely mimic, which does little to engender a sense of accomplishment and gets old fast. incredibly, Fugl has apparently been in early access for almost 8 years, and given that the developer has stated that adding more gameplay elements and things like day/night cycles and dynamic weather are either technically impossible or would actually "take away from the game," it's clear that Fugl is never going to evolve beyond what it currently is - not really a game, as there is no gameplay loop, but something more akin to a tech demo or interactive screensaver, as others have said. it's overpriced as well for what it is - this is one of the few purchases i can say i fully regret. not what i was hoping for. can't recommend.

Very relaxing to play. Biggest thing I would like in it, at this point in EA, is a setting for toggling the impact visuals when your bird hits something.

desperately needs separate steering and camera controls. both keyboard for movement and mouse for camera would be so much easier.

This game is lovely. Sometimes I just want something serene to play in the background while I listen to a podcast or chat with a friend, and this fits the bill. Very zen

Years after buying Fugl, I finally decided to check it out, and no matter what I tried, I could not get it to run. It constantly crashes, sometimes in the main menu, sometimes during gameplay. I cannot play more than a couple of minutes before I experience a crash. I really wish I could give it a try, but unfortunately, I don't think this one is a winner for me.

I only played Fugl in early access, so keep that in mind. I found the concept / art style of the game to be pretty, but I found the controls hard to work with, and the display settings difficult to make work with my (high end) PC. I found myself getting frustrated in trying to make things work more often than actually enjoying the game.
