Хочу вернуть деньги за игру. Бианки Виталий Валентинович написал про муравья, но языка русского, конечно же нет. Все красиво и замечательно, но в самом начале меня приветствует Украинский флаг... Ну не хочу я в этом учавствовать, товарищи милые. Дизлайк и возвращение игры. Считаю, что искусство и игры должны оставаться вне политики...а если кто-то считает иначе, то я просто не хочу с этим иметь ничего общего. И дело не в том вовсе чьих и каких взглядов кто придерживается, в этом вопросе каждый имеет право на мнение, просто считаю, что хайпится и пихать такое везде просто не нужно. Как в каждый фильм негров, геев и лесбух пихают дело не по делу, так и тут считаю, что такие темы тут просто неуместны.
At some points the puzzles take some time to figure out, but had lots of fun playing!
задрали со своей украиной.хохляцкий флаг на весь экран.ну вот зачем это херня?
[b]Length:[/b] 3.4 hours. [b]Enjoyment:[/b] 5/10. [b]Story:[/b] Return home. [b]Characters:[/b] Cute. [b]Graphics:[/b] Family friendly. [b]Gameplay:[/b] 2D easy platformer. [b]Audio:[/b] Family friendly. [b]Bugs:[/b] - Incredibly buggy controls and environment. ᶠʳᵒᵐ ᵐʸ ᶠᶦʳˢᵗ ᵖˡᵃʸᵗʰʳᵒᵘᵍʰ Mari and Bayu - The Road Home is a family friendly and easy platformer with a cute and friendly story. The graphics and style emphasize on the family friendly aspect. However, the frustrating controls and game mechanics made the experience much less enjoyable. Every mechanic in this game has bugged on me at least once, except for the feathers, they were simply annoying to control. The worst part was the culmination, the last boss, as nothing worked properly. Lastly, there's a level where people are at a picnic and they spray bug spray on their own food. Very unrealistic and my immersion was ruined.
I had a lot of fun playing this game, even by myself, it's a nice puzzle platformer with great art and music. Playing together is even better though and I can heartily reccomend picking it up with someone else! The puzzles are intuitive, the controls smooth, and it just looks amazing.
Отрицательные отзывы остальных русскоязычных юзеров относительно патриотизма считаю надуманными. Мне не понравилась игра по существу. Заявлена полная поддержка контроллера, с ним играть просто невозможно. На деке геймпад xbox ведет себя непредсказуемо странно, отрабатывая лишь на половину, лишая возможности играть на большом экране. Берешь в руки деку, и все время негодуешь от управления этой светящейся мухой. Играть невозможно. Придется в ближайшее время опробовать клавомышь. Пока говно. UPD: с клавомышей тоже говно, хоть и можно уже играть, если это можно так назвать.
game about bugs is full of 'em
I loved this game, I wish I had kids to play with them or watch them having fun together :P (it's still enjoyable in solo !) [h1]Strengths[/h1] * Environments : stunning ! It's beautiful and very nice variety + consistency. Insects are super cool too (and some are "fabulous" lol) * Music : I enjoyed it, some gave me vibes from old beloved games, overall it's all cute, just like the graphics * Puzzles : I loved some mechanics, some are tricky ! * co-op : it's great how Mari and Bayu works well together. I tried a bit with my husband it's a very welcome way to play. We need more games like this :) * level-design : overall it's good ! It's not too easy and not too hard to me. Death is not punishing, good for children or people like me (aka not very good platformer !) [h1]Weaknesses[/h1] * Controls : some lack of precision and feel a bit clunky, adding unwanted difficulty. * Most elements are neat but some are blurry * dialogs seem off (maybe I'm too used to dub), oversized and you can't skip it (a bit annoying when you replay a level) * Underexploited powers : it could have been nicer to keep the powers/upgrades you unlock later, in previous stages to reach new places. This is definitely a game I'll recommend. You can feel the love and passion put into it. <I wish I could add a blue and a yellow heart here, too>
I was very impressed by the graphics of the game and was looking for an easy game for a Sunday evening. It´s really a nice game, and I think there is a very good balance between the story and the actions. Runs very smooth and didn't encountered any bugs. Top! Definitely recommended.
Un bon petit jeu indépendant que je recommande fortement pour les amoureux de plateforme/réflexion. Entre "Hoa" et "Yoku's Island Express", mais aussi du "Wenjia", du "True Hate", du "Degrees Of Separation", et du "Shu" ainsi que du "Chronology". Bref, on sent les inspirations toutes aussi bonnes les unes que les autres. Si vous voulez un avis concernant la durée de vie, j'ai fini le jeu en 5h30, sachant que je n'ai pas fait le 100%. Voilou, des bisous..
