Griddlers Victorian Picnic

[b][u]Game Information[/u][/b] "Griddlers Victorian Picnic" is a Puzzle game. The game was developed by Big Up Studio and published by 8 Floor Games. [b][u]The Game Review[/u][/b] Game Visuals I want to mention that the visuals in the game are nicely done. The visuals can be adjusted in the game's option menu. Game Audio I want to mention that audio for the game is well done. Even though the audio is somewhat simplistic and repetitive. The audio can be adjusted in the game's option menu as well. Gameplay There are no game difficulty modes to choose from. Each puzzle has its own difficulty. This is a logic puzzle game, but it is also known as the following: Picross; Sudoku; Nonograms; Paint by Numbers and Griddlers. There are two game modes: Adventure and Training. The adventure mode contains six chapters with hundred twenty different logic puzzles to solve. The training mode is the tutorial levels. There are eighteen different achievements to unlock from playing the game. Each of these achievements does come with some requirements that need to be completed before they can be unlocked. These achievements are in-game only. Miscellaneous Final thoughts: I have found the game enjoyable to a certain extent. The replay value for the game is moderately high. I would recommend this game, but not at the game's full price value.

I've already taken a screenshot of this, but this is yet another picross collection where some of the puzzles have multiple possible solutions, but only one is correct. Reference the screenshot if you're not entirely sure what I mean. You should NOT be forced to guess or have to use a hint in order to 100% a level in picross EVER.

数织类解谜游戏，类似于数独那样的适合锻炼逻辑思考能力 但同样玩法的游戏换个皮肤就搞一个来卖，这种做法实在无法接受

Ein Nonogramm-Gelegenheitsspiel, das für den kleinen Preis ok ist. Ich habe es mir für 0,39€ geholt. Wunsch: Steam-Errungenschaften

"Griddlers Victorian Picnic" is a basic Nonogram game... for those who never played one, it's a kind of grid-deduction-puzzle game, not unlike Minecraft or Sudoku. You're given a grid and a number of numerical clues. You must deduce where the safe places to click are. In a Nonogram, the correct clicks will reveal a small, obviously low resolution image or pattern. Yay, what fun. This is why top of the line gaming PCs costs thousands of dollars, right? The developer, Creobit, has copy + pasted this game an insane FOURTY ONE TIMES... why cash in on one asset if you can cash in on multiple copies of the same game? Asset flipping begins at home! Here's a list of the asset flips of this game that the Russian "developer" is polluting Steam with: [list] [*] Asian Riddles 1, 2, 3 + 4 [*] Christmas Griddlers [*] Christmas Griddlers Journey to Santa [*] Detective Riddles - Sherlock's Heritage 1 + 2 [*] Easter Riddles [*] Egypt Picross Pharaohs Riddles [*] Fill And Cross Christmas Riddles [*] Fill and Cross Magic Journey [*] Fill and Cross Pirate Riddles 1, 2 + 3 [*] Fill and Cross Royal Riddles [*] Fill and Cross Trick or Treat 1, 2 + 3 [*] Fill and Cross World Contest [*] Griddlers Beach Season [*] Griddlers Legend Of The Pirates [*] Griddlers TED and PET 1 + 2 (this game) [*] Griddlers Victorian Picnic [*] Halloween Patchwork Trick or Treat [*] Halloween Riddles Mysterious Griddlers [*] Magic Griddlers 1 + 2 [*] Olympus Griddlers [*] Picross Beach Paradise [*] Picross Bonbon - Nonogram [*] Picross Fairytale - nonogram: Red Riding Hood secret [*] Picross Fairytale: Legend of the Mermaid [*] Picross Hansel and Gretel - Nonograms [*] Riddle of the mask [*] Royal Riddles [*] Santa's Toy Factory Nonograms [*] Thanksgiving Day Griddlers [*] Valentine's Day Griddlers 1 + 2 [/list] [i][b]These are all reskins of exactly the same game![/b][/i] From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customise the graphics settings. There's no way for gamers to ensure this is running at the native resolution of their displays... there's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. There's no way for gamers to try improve the low quality graphics. The game features extremely lazy, minimalist "art", of the type you normally expect to see in low effort Flash/browser games and mobile apps. Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in like this isn't going to result in a high quality, visually impressive game that PC gamers are used to seeing. The game only displays in 4:3 pillarboxed aspect ratio (with crappy "wings" to pad out the space). It's possible they developed this using an old CRT they found in a dumpster, or this game has been specifically designed for people gaming on PC's from 1995... either way, this isn't really acceptable in the modern era of PC gaming. The controls can't be customised because the game has such a dumbed down, simplified interface that it's just iPhone screen tapping stuff. The fact that the interface is this dumbed down might be seen as a problem in itself, however... this is a fairly shallow experience if you're the kind of gamer that likes to play games with deep, rich control schemes and interaction. You'll get none of that here. This looks and feels like a mobile app, but it doesn't seem to have made it to the app stores. It's unclear why this was put on Steam instead of the app stores it seems to have been designed for. Maybe it was removed, maybe it was rejected by Apple and Google (they do have more rigorous quality standards than Valve does for Steam, after all). Regardless, for all intents and purposes this might as well be a mobile app, it has the same limitations and dumbed down qualities. It's impossible to recommend such a game to PC gamers. We don't spend all this money building gaming rigs so we can pretend they're iPhones and play games that might as well be mobile apps. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. The poor quality of this game is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 4 players. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 50,000 games for gamers to choose from (over 9,000 completely free titles), the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected. "Griddlers Victorian Picnic" has the gamer gouging price of around $5 USD, it's not worth it given the defects and shortcomings with the product, especially considering the sheer number of completely free, much higher quality games on Steam.

This implementation of grid puzzles , nonograms, picrosss, whatever you want to call it, has several flaws. 1 - It is in the school of "ding you for a mistake the moment you misclick "which while newbie friendly is really hostile to people who want to be able to spot their errors and fix them. This is relatively minor. 2 - It also automatically strikes out the numbers according to its own algorithm (which doesn't really line up with whether they are knowable, nor whether they are fully marked). Since it will do this on columns or rows you aren't currently thinking about this can cause errors. This is bad but not insurmountable. 3 - The way it strikes out the numbers makes them INCREDIBLY hard to see, for no good reason at all. They're sufficiently dimmed that determining which number was struck out is VERY hard and you need that information to correctly continue to solve the puzzle. This earns this implementation a failing score.. None of the other titles from this same publisher of almost identical games have this truly glaring error. I suggest avoiding this one.

The game has a very summery feel to it and love the music. The problem with this one that makes me like it less than many other similar games are the colours. The colour of the crossed out numbers almost blends into the background and many times makes you forget it was even there to begin with = it makes you miscalculate something and make a mistake you wouldn't have if you could see it. And if you want that three star level you have to start over all in vain cause of this.

On some of the puzzles you simply have to guess the correct answer, and that is unacceptable in a puzzle that is supposed to be solvable by logic. I don't mind a hard challenge, as long as the answer is based on the clues given, but when the clues are not sufficient, it just makes the whole experience unenjoyable.

As other people have said - these puzzles need to be worked out by logic. These types of puzzles can be really interesting and fun to try to complete. The problem is that logic puzzles like this can only be worked out using the correct amount of clues which the developers have neglected to address. There aren't enough clues to logically work out the solutions which just leads to frustration. Without an adequate number of clues it comes down to guesswork on which squares should be filled and as only two incorrect squares are allowed per puzzle it makes them almost impossible to complete. Very disappointing and frustrating. Nobody minds difficult puzzles but you need something to work with in the form of enough clues but they just aren't there. Can't recommend this game because of this.

Dans l’état actuel, une partie des grilles proposées comportent de multiples solutions. Quand je parle de multiples, cela ne signifie pas 2 ou 3, mais beaucoup plus. Dès que l’on commet une faute qui ouvre pourtant sur une résolution possible, le programme la compte comme une erreur. Pour obtenir les trois étoiles d’un niveau, vous ne devez faire aucun impair ! Essayez les problèmes 17 et 19 si vous souhaitez vérifier ce que j’affirme. Je préfère pour l’instant arrêter ce jeu qui ne correspond pas à mes attentes.
