Neon Fantasy: Dinosaurs

Очень интересная и увлекательная игра с уникальной задумкой нарко-трипа и неоновых динозавриков, 10 скуренной травы из 10

The "developer", Quantum Quiver Games/Blender Games, took a template from Clickteam Fusion, slapped a couple of asset flipped sprites on it, and dumped the results onto Steam as a cash grab scam. Quantum Quiver Games/Blender Games has shown a repeated pattern of ripping off Clickteam Fusion templates and dumping them on Steam. This Russian developer operates under a number of aliases in an attempt to hide their identity from gamers: [list] [*] Cute Hannah's Games [*] Blender Games [*] Quantum Quiver Games [*] Green Goose Corporation [*] My Label Games [/list] All the same developer. Multiple accounts just to mislead gamers. Don't believe me? Here's some other asset flips from exactly the same template, all shamelessly dumped on Steam as nasty cash grabs: [list] [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/3376830]Lovely Anime Puzzle: Christmas[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/4235220]Lovely Anime Puzzle: Easter[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/4164640]Lovely Anime Puzzle: Halloween[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/3408700]Lovely Anime Puzzle: Lunar New Year[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/3513970]Lovely Anime Puzzle: Patrick[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/4415920]Lovely Anime Puzzle: Spring[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/4519190]Lovely Anime Puzzle: Autumn[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/4591630]Lovely Anime Puzzle: Winter[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/4318030]Lovely Anime Puzzle: Summer[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/3471440]Lovely Anime Puzzle: Valentine[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2407920]Neon Fantasy: Animals[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2474960]Neon Fantasy: Birds[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2494410]Neon Fantasy: Boys[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2819780]Neon Fantasy: Butterflies[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2606290]Neon Fantasy: Cats[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2637100]Neon Fantasy: Dogs[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/4199340]Neon Fantasy: Fairies[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2430290]Neon Fantasy: Furries[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2452480]Neon Fantasy: Girls[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2765540]Neon Fantasy: Horses[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2668020]Neon Fantasy: Monkeys[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/3030160]Neon Fantasy: Mushrooms[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/4281500]Neon Fantasy: Owls[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2717240]Neon Fantasy: Predators[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2745560]Neon Fantasy: Rodents[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2239050]Poly Puzzle: Animals[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1908740]Poly Puzzle: Birds[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2270910]Poly Puzzle: Butterflies[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1808480]Poly Puzzle: Cats[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2172780]Poly Puzzle: Dinosaurs[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1856730]Poly Puzzle: Dogs[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1742940]Poly Puzzle: Furries[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1761320]Poly Puzzle: Furries 2[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2115480]Poly Puzzle: Predators[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2078160]Poly Puzzle: Primates[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1786250]Puzzle Art: Artiodactyls[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1767940]Puzzle Art: Birds[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1767890]Puzzle Art: Cats[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1758120]Puzzle Art: Dogs[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1786260]Puzzle Art: Horses[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1786270]Puzzle Art: Predators[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1786280]Puzzle Art: Primates[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1786290]Puzzle Art: Reptiles[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1786300]Puzzle Art: Rodents[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1768000]Puzzle Art: Snakes[/url]" [/list] Look for yourself... these are all exactly the same game! The products that result from asset flips aren't "real" games. They lack depth and content, because they're just simplistic copies of demos or tutorials. In this case, "Neon Fantasy: Dinosaurs" is just a fake game, a ClickTeam Fusion puzzle template populated with lazy, insulting AI slop, and doesn't have any merit as a proper, fully fledged PC game, so this copy+paste of it can't be recommended. Asset flips don't involve any professional game development. Sure, sometimes they may change a few cosmetic things, swap out different assets etc, but at heart it's functionally identical to the asset they're ripping off. Asset flips are an insult to both PC gamers and to professional game developers who create genuine, high quality PC games. Asset flips like this are harmful to the gaming industry and to Steam because they reduce the visibility that sincerely made indie games should have. They make it harder for gamers to find genuine games made by honest developers. To cement the position of this asset flip as nothing but a cash grab, it was dumped onto cheap DailyIndieGame shovelware bundles very shortly after launch. Don't reward this morally bankrupt, unethical behaviour from Quantum Quiver Games/Blender Games. Because this is just a fake game/cash grab scam, and due to the sheer unethical nature of the developer, you should avoid this completely. Let's talk about price and the value this represents for us gamers. Should you buy this game? Is it among the best the Steam catalogue has to offer? Neon Fantasy: Dinosaurs is relatively cheap at $2 USD, but it's not worth it. This is also competing with over 14,000 free games available on Steam, many of them far better than this paid product. The poor quality of this game is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was [b]only 2 players[/b]. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 130 million gamers on Steam and well over 140,000 games for gamers to choose from, the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, and the questionable ethical nature of the developer and/or their associates (as outlined above), this is impossible to recommend. Because this is just a fake game/cash grab scam, and due to the sheer unethical nature of the developer, you should avoid this completely. Don't reward this morally bankrupt, unethical behaviour from Quantum Quiver Games. The use of AI slop is a direct insult to gamers and real, ethical content creators and artists everywhere.
