While this was a very short experience, the story was well done. I was left wanting more and sometimes that is the best thing you can ask for from a game. The clay design was really well done and it was a cool change from your typical animation style! Overall, this was a really interesting gaming experience and I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Hra, která vás snadno vtáhne do super zpracované depresivní atmosféry. Příběh by mohl být trošku delší a konec trošku lépe zapracovaný, ale silný zážitek to v hráči zanechá, což je cílem. Hru jsem testoval na Game Accessu, takže jsem část hry znal, jinak by byl gameplay hádám cca na hodinu.
[h1] Mám rad Hlínu [/h1] ⠀ ⠀ [h2] Základní informace [/h2] Hrál jsem klasickou obtížnost. Vše jsem měl v češtině. ⠀ [h2] Grafika/Textury [/h2] Úžasná a originální grafika. Je vidět, že autor opravdu některé objekty modeloval z keramiky, což je úžasné a hře to dodává na atmosféře. Občas si jde všimnout, že některé PNG objekty (ruka, načítání a apod.) mají bílé pixely, kdežto autor se snažil udělat PNG obrázek. Jinak propracovanost textur je úžasná a klobouk dolů. Postavy a prostředí vypadaly úžasně, zvlášť pro českého (slovenského) hráče, jelikož jsou zde krásné české detaily. Pokud u mopu v rohu budete mačkat mezerník nebo chodit v kroužku, tak se trochu bugnete a budete pořád padat (animace). Občas otevřu lednici skrz hlavní postavu. ⠀ [h2] Cutscenes [/h2] Jsou to jednoduché animace nebo komiks ukázka, což na malou hru je akorát a dostačující. Dokonce to pochopí i stůl. Dokonce to pochopí i stůl. ⠀ [h2] Hratelnost [/h2] Ovládání postavy bylo prostě super. Dělala přesně to, co měla, na co jsem klikl, to se stalo. Dokonce jsem si užíval plivnutí na dveře. Ohledně práce: házení těch věcí do beden bylo občas fakt frustrující / náročné. Během 4. dne ve hře jsem nemohl opustit domov, a tak jsem byl nucen restartovat celou hru. Bylo by tedy fajn přidat kapitoly nebo možnost vrátit se zpátky na jiné dny. Měna ve hře je super, pokud nezačnete dělat hlouposti s hracím automatem. Pak nebudete moci pokračovat dál a můžete dát reset hry od začátku (nemožnost odejít 4 den z domu). Jinak jsem neměl žádný problém a ovládání bylo jednoduché a pohodlné. ⠀ [h2] Hudba/zvuk [/h2] Atmosféra a zvukové efekty byly nádherné. Do hry krásně vtáhnou, zvláště dabing. Nečekejte žádný orchestr nebo nic podobného, ale není to hrozné a zvuky dávají smysl v danou chvíli. Pokud si hru nastavíte do češtiny, tak menu zůstane v angličtině a titulky jsou už gramaticky správnější. ⠀ [h2] Příběh/Zápletka [/h2] Musím uznat, že zápletka je super; poukazuje na něco a je v tom hluboká myšlenka. Škoda, že není více konců, například když nemáš peníze a podobně. Jinak naprostá bomba. ⠀ [h2] Verdikt [/h2] Jistě, hra má super textury, grafiku, hudbu a maličkosti. Přes tohle všechno je hra za tu cenu velmi krátká. Obsahově to bylo spíše na DEMO verzi. Pokud by hra stála 3 €, tak neřeknu nic. Škoda krátké hratelnosti u tak skvělé hry. Chápu, že keramika a další věci jsou časově i finančně náročné. Snad autor vydá další hru v podobném vzhledu a delší. Pokud tedy máte rádi české/slovenské hry a chcete podpořit malé tvůrce, kteří mají super hry, tak je tato hra pro vás. Nebo máte rádi hlubokou myšlenku ve hře a tajemství, tak také doporučuji. Pokud vám vadí moc € tak si počkejte na slevu. Hru si nechávám v knihovně a nebudu ji vracet, aby autor mohl vytvořit další super hry.
[h1] Hodnocení 6/10 [/h1] Titul Hlína je ambiciózní artový projekt, který má šanci zaujmout. V současné podobě toho ale moc nenabízí a pokud vývojáři chtějí, aby hra na českém a světovém videoherním trhu obstála, budou muset zapracovat víc na narativu, postavách a herní době. Zachytit depresivní realističnost každodenního života se autorům podařilo, ale zprostředkovat silný a emotivní příběh už ne. Více v recenzi: https://www.gamingprofessors.cz/hlina-herni-recenze/
Atmósfera y ambientación perfecta. Una maravilla pensar que tanto los personajes como los escenarios han sido creados a mano.
Ok, this is a bit difficult to rate. First let's talk about the gameplay. It was fine, the parts in a factory were a bit challenging and fun, however, the rest of it was simply just walking and talking to other npc's. I also had a few technical difficulties but it may be that my potato pc didn't want to cooperate. Now let's talk about the graphics. This was very interesting. Personally I haven't played a stop motion game before (or at least I don't think I did) and the fact that everything was a clay formed into a models was really intriguing. Lastly there is the story. At first glance it can be just boring nothingness to you. But when you start thinking about it then it really shines. This short "reality horror" is most powerful in it's realism. I won't say more, just read between the lines to fully understand not only the simplicity but also the complexity of this story. Now, why did I click the "not recommend" button? It's simple, from my point of view the majority of people won't enjoy this game. I personally did and I am certain there are many people who'll enjoy this as well. If you want to buy the game after this review then you are probably one of them. After all, the price is fine if you ask me. However, there is still the chance of you being bored and maybe frustrated you just spent an hour of your life with this. But I'd also say that every person from Czech Republic should play this game. Mostly the people from Moravian-Silesian Region. From my perspective it's mostly about them. And like I said it's only about an hour at max.
This is a funny/creepy experience. I really enjoy the graphics and design in that way that ur just a silly clay guy in a spooke village. Defenitly give it a go, if ur into INDIE games and horror
I would recommend this game it is a bit short but that is the only thing I personally would say is bad. The story and atmospheric weather and feeling is very good in my opinion and it was a fun little game to try out.
What a beautifully done game. And an interesting message it has. It was so nice to see a Czech environment in a game too. Definitely recommend.
This game was a lot of fun and really interesting! I loved the art style using claymation, the music was beautiful, and the story was really intriguing. The only thing I wish is that the game was longer so I could explore/learn more about the world/lore.
