Lift/Shift

"Lift/Shift" is a "me too" in the rather fringe but emerging format of amateur (often asset flipped) first person "Spot the differences" games. The idea with these games is that you run through an area, then you run through a second time but some things are slightly different so you have to identify what changed. Yeah... it's a concept that gets old fast. This is a poor copycat of better attempts at making this kind of game, and also it should be noted none of them have actually been successful on Steam Direct... it's just not that great of an idea from the perspective of gamers. But developers think it's a great idea, nobody knows why. I'm not sure if this is an asset flip, but it's one of those cases where the assets just look much better than the rest of the quality of the game... a glaring inconsistency.  There's no evidence, but as always, the biggest problem with asset flips besides the plagiarism is the deplorably low quality of the other aspects of the game, and even if the game assets are genuinely created for the game, the quality of the rest of the game is indistinguishable from that of asset flips. Now on to pricing and value for gamers. This is "free" enough (not every "free" game in the "free" section is truly free, there's usually some hidden price tag), at least you won't be expected to spend any more money after you download this, but just because something is free doesn't mean it's good, and the cost of a game is more than just financial, your time is valuable too. Despite having no up-front cost, this failed to appeal to the 130 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB shows this 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? Nope. This isn't worth downloading. There's no financial cost up-front, but you'd still be spending your time and a little hard drive space on a product that's far from the best. There's thousands of better alternatives on Steam.
