illum

"illum" is one of literally thousands of student projects infesting Steam. It's from University of Southern California. While student projects tend to be better quality than most "amateur" made games, we must still question what value such projects have for gamers. As with all student projects, this isn't really a fully fleshed out game, it's just the result of an academic exercise, and as such it has much more limited value as a game than a professionally developed game would have. Educational institutions should not be using Steam as a dumping ground for homework assignments (especially if the students didn't even pass the course). Sure, it helps their marketing and helps the students feel good about themselves, but this is another case of a business putting themselves before the needs of gamers. The students phoned in the graphics when making this short third person narrative adventure game. All you do in this "experience" is journey with a light friend to connect light gems and awaken a dormant kingdom by hooking up all the lights. In terms of visuals, this features fairly low quality low poly 3D graphics which will deter a lot of gamers, understandably. Gaming is a visual medium, and while some developers struggle with creating high quality visuals, failing to do so is a disservice to gamers. It's very difficult to recommend bad looking games. Now on to pricing and value for gamers. It would be unethical for students to try charge money for their homework assignments, so you don't have to pay any money for this. But you'd still have to spend your time downloading this, and "time is money", as they say. There's the other problem, too... as a student project, this wasn't made for gamers. There's no requirement for them to polish and balance the game properly, all they need is something to show the faculty so they can get their grade and move on. Let's once more ask... why is that good for gamers? It's obviously not delivering a solid product. Yet here it is, on the store page, and here you are, reading my review for a student demo that's going to waste your time. While genuine amateur developers who made real products get ignored because they have to compete with this stuff. In some ways, this deluge of student projects on Steam is harmful to everyone. In terms of public reception, this failed. There's over 130 million unique gamers visiting Steam every month. SteamDB showed the game peaked at [b]only 5 concurrent players[/b]... 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? This one scores a "nope". While it won't necessarily cost you money, the time and hard drive space it requires could be better invested in one of the many higher-quality alternatives on Steam.

this is the most adorable game i've ever played. beautiful, vivid, peaceful. light-hearted. short play, will make your heart melt PS: please tell me what you used to make the voice for the orb. i'm guessing it was a cat but i'd like to know either way. it made my heart happy :)

Bulmacaları çözmek ve Illum'un mistik diyarına ışık tutmak için küçük ışık arkadaşınızla yürek ısıtan bir yolculuğa çıkın.

illum ist eine superkurze kleine Puzzleerfahrung, die weder besonders herausfordernd und schon gar nicht ausführlich ist. Das Ganze braucht nur rund 8 Minuten, bis man es durchgespielt hat, also sogar zu wenig, um die Schwelle zu überschreiten, ab der man eine Rezension schreiben darf. Es braucht also kaum Investition, weder zeitlich noch finanziell, um illum zu spielen. Aber trotzdem gibt es genügend Beispiele, bei denen auch nur ein paar Minuten schon zu viel Investition sind. Nicht so bei illum, das eine runde, nette Spielerfahrung bietet. Als Astronaut wandert man durch eine Landschaft, sucht nach ein paar Zeichnungen und sammelt ein paar Dinge und verbindet diese. Und schaut sich dann den Abspann an. Das Ganze ist weder revolutionär noch sonst irgendwie gewaltig. Aber eben trotzdem nett. Die Grafik ist sehr rudimentär, aber trotzdem stimmig. Und das Gameplay ist nicht wirklich herausfordernd, dafür aber ruhig und genau deshalb ideal für eine entspannte Spielsession zwischendurch. Fazit: Kein Spiel, das man gespielt haben muss, aber trotzdem eine nette, ruhige Spielerfahrung, die ich jedem weiterempfehle, der einfach mal 10 Minuten mit einem kleinen Spiel abschalten will.

Muito fofo. Tive bons sentimentos jogando e acho que esse jogo pode ter muitas interpretações

Ненапряжная и короткая игра.

Очень маленькая, глючная игра, где я добрых 10 минут пыталась привести баланс разрешения и производительности. Но блин, она такая милая! Я бы очень хотела, чтобы эту игру стали развивать дальше, потому что у нее такой хороший и приятный потенциал. Надеюсь, что разработчик продолжит работу над ней и я ее увижу снова. Спасибо!:)
