Lacuna: Prologue

Imagine asking people to do homework in a video game, 200/10 game design, thanks for the warning for the main game

Lacuna da sizi, yani CDI ajanı Neil Conrad'ı, ölümü güneş sistemini savaşa sürükleyebilecek yüksek profilli bir kurbanın cinayetini araştırmakla görevlendiriyoruz. Sizi bu büyüleyici 2D kara bilimkurgu macerasının özündeki komplonun derinliklerine götürecek bir dizi vakanın ilkini çözün.

Прикольна демка! За весь цей час я встиг: 1. Ознайомитися з лором ігри і зав'язкой сюжета. 2. Пройти туторіал і зрозуміти базові геймплейн механіки. 3. Насолодитися чудовим pixel art стилем)) Ну що, біжу грати в повноційну версію ))))

overall good. its even free. can recommend it.

- furchtbarer grober Pixelbrei verhindert ein Eintauchen. Einfache Grafikstile kann man auch hübscher und charmanter machen. Altbackener 80er-Jahre-Pixelbrei ist einfach nur unüberlegt, unkreativ und einfallslos - langweilige, biedere, unbeholfene Dialoge auf dem Niveau für 6-12-Jährige (so schlagfertig und spritzig wie lauwarmes Mineralwasser) - wir sind auf dem fremden Planeten Drovia und dieser hat Bäume und Blumen wie auf der Erde? Wie langweilig ist das denn? Schon wieder unkreativ einfallslos Dieser Prolog ist eine Antiwerbung: Die Handlung spielt am ersten Schultag des Protagonisten. Der Lehrer kommuniziert Unpünktlichkeit und den Lehrplan!!! Aaaargh, echt jetzt!? Wie spannend!!! Ich habe kein Interesse mehr an dieser infantilen Story. Schon wieder ein Teeniespiel für die Zielgruppe ohne Ansprüche. P.S. In den Credits am Anfang liest man, dass vier Praktikanten mitgewirkt haben. Ich finde so etwas furchtbar. Leute, wenn ihr Spiele entwickeln wollt, stellt (gute!) Mitarbeiter ein und bezahlt diese ordentlich.

Игры в одноклассниках и то лучше были ... Для сына маминой подруги сгодиться Я ему прологи игр только и включаю , советую быстро интерес теряют к играм !

"Lacuna: Prologue" is not a game. It's an advertisement for a product called "Lacuna". Lacuna is a badly received, arguably failed 2D retro pixel adventure game designed for the Nintendo Switch, that only garnered a couple of hundred players at most (considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam, a couple of hundred is in the margin of error for "zero"). But this isn't completely relevant because this is not Lacuna, it's just an advertisment for it, so it's not correct to try to review that completely distinct product. We must instead review this for what it is... an advertisement. If you enjoy advertisements, you can consume them for free on the web or on Youtube without needing to add them to your game library, download them, and then launch the advertising. It's impossible in a general sense to recommend people should do that over playing real, full games on Steam, and that applies here with "Lacuna: Prologue" too. The purpose of this advertisement is to get you to pay out a whopping SIXTEEN BUCKS for the Nintendo Switch pixelcrap game here on Steam. Delusional, right? No pixelcrap is worth $16. If amateur devs want to get paid the same kind of money as real developers, they should at least learn how to do video game graphics properly. This is only free in the same way that adverts on Youtube and banner ads in your browser are. This is a game demo that's been dumped on Steam to advertise another Steam store page in the hopes of raking in some cash. Just because advertisements are free, doesn't mean they're worth your time. It's important to understand there's a formal process to create a demo/page for a game which hasn't been followed here: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/application/demos While it might seem like an inocuous mistake, publishing demos and advertisements as if they are full games is misleading and in some ways harmful. This advertisement is taking up marketing space and visibility that would be better made available to a developer that's done the right thing and created a full game. Instead, that visibility is given over to a demo/advert that's been published incorrectly and is polluting the marketplace. It's unclear if this mistake was made through incompetence or a deliberate intent to mislead gamers. Often developers may choose to incorrectly publish demo/advertisements as separate games as a cheap way to bypass paying Valve for marketing presence on the Steam front page, which may seem clever to them, but it's harmful behaviour and it's not good for gamers. It's important to note that, despite this being such a low quality product, there's a number of positive reviews that all appeared immediately after the game launched, from suspiciously inactive Steam accounts that have reviewed almost no other games apart from this. Take the review score of this game with a grain of salt. Advertisements and incorrectly published demos don't add +1 to your game collector count, they aren't full games. It's impossible for me to recommend this incorrectly published advertising spam to gamers, you deserve better than adverts.
