It's not terrible, but hard to recommend. There's some alright mechanics, but they're not very well utilised or polished. Things feel like they're just about hold together. Soundtrack is nice, but the story makes little sense. Tesla city on Mars? Sure. Things feel drafted, checkboxes feel ticked. Sometimes a cutscene is just everyone standing still and you're wondering if game froze.
This "game" is annoying as hell

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

[H1][i] Waterworld [/i][/h1]D’après sa description, Highwater est un petit jeu d’aventure narratif (d’après la description), dans un monde postapocalyptique où la montée des eaux n’a laissé que quelques ilots épars, et où notre héros, monsieur Nikos [strike]Aliagas[/strike], cherche une échappatoire [strike]à une vie de m*rde[/strike] un monde décidément trop hostile. Ce qui n’est pas faux. Embarqué un petit zodiac et navigant d’île en île, notre personnage se liera d’amitié avec quelques camarades d’infortune, et fera des rencontres plus ou moins hostiles, avec pour objectif de s’envoler vers d’autres cieux. [b]Cependant, ce dernier m’a laissé une impression mitigée, principalement dans son exécution. [/b] Là où des jeux comme Jusant ou encore la série des FAR (FAR : Lone Sails), arrivent à faire ressentir une certaine poésie, magie de leurs univers respectifs (univers qui ont des similitudes avec Hightwater), ici eh bien… la magie n’opère pas, ou difficilement. Le gameplay n’est pas tant axé sur l’exploration et la contemplation, mais plutôt sur du combat au tour par tour avec quelques phases bonus d’exploration mais qui sont plus que dispensables. On est donc beaucoup plus centré sur l’aspect combat, que sur l’histoire, les personnages ou l’univers, qui apparaissent finalement comme très, voire trop secondaires. [b]Impression renforcée par le fait que les combats sont non seulement omniprésents (j’insiste sur le fait qu’il s’agit bien plus du cœur du jeu que les balades en zodiac) mais aussi, de par le caractère tour par tour, très longs.[/b] Ils ne sont cependant pas inintéressants puisque, autant les premiers sont anecdotiques, autant les suivants nécessitent bien plus de stratégie, de s’intéresser aux capacités de chacun, envisager des couverts/replis, utiliser l’environnement, équiper le bon inventaire… Certes des jeux avec combats en tour par tour font bien mieux mais n’ont pas la même ambition, ni le même budget. Mais, de fait, l’aspect combat finit par étouffer ce qui aurait dû être à mon sens l’essentiel du jeu, à savoir le voyage. [b]Hightwater laisse donc une impression pas désagréable, mais pas mémorable non plus.[/b] [b][i]Plus de critiques ->[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/39925920] C'est ici ;)[/url][/i][/b]
Oh boy, not me buying a game again that looked good but everything else is mid at best about it.
Good job for Demagog studio! Nice game, graphics, music... everything!
Im not going to lie. Its pretty boring, and the carema tends to shake quite a bit. Maybe get it while its on heavy sale
wow
Enredo até legal, a rádio ficou dahora . Porém meu jogo ficou com os analógicos invertidos e não tem a opção de corrigir dentro do próprio jogo, e isso foi uma merda. Combate simples, quase nada de variação de armas e itens.
Il gioco è un pochino noioso. Non ho trovato brutta la trama nè i personaggi, ma ho detestato le meccaniche di combattimento. Ci sono troppe e lunghissime sessioni di combattimento a turni che spezzano la storia. Credevo fosse open world, invece si deve per forza andare nella direzione indicata.
One of my favorites in a great series (The Cub , Nostalgia Golf) This third edition was exactly what I need it to explore Alphaville and complete the story. I have finished it 3 time so far and everytime I learn something more to the story. NOW the only question is what happwns in TESLA City next....... hint hint make the 4th one lol
