Niko: Through The Dream

Средненький сюрреалистичный пазл с плохо сочетающимися элементами и недоработанными механиками. Визуальный стиль в основном довольно бедноват и ему недостаёт наполненности, даже для минималистиной игры. некоторые нарисованные вставки хоть и выглядят неплохо, но очень плохо вяжутся с происходящим в игре. Головоломки хоть и разнообразные, но довольно простые и не пытаются усложниться. Местами встречаются очень своеобразно выполненные механические решения у головоломок. В игре так же присутствуют баги, как я понимаю мешающие прохождению. Я видел в игре пару запоминающихся сцен и решений, но в основном она оставляет впечатление ниже среднего. Игра не впечатляет ни со стороны визуала, ни стороны сюжета, головоломки так же достаточно посредственные. Я бы рекомендовал пройти мимо.

Lo jugué hace tiempo, recuerdo solamente ciertas partes pero fue una linda experiencia.

Beware: The game has a frame cap of 62. Low quality controls, low quality first few puzzles.

Não lembro exatamente o ano que peguei esse jogo, mas o que me chamou atenção inicialmente dele foi ser de Puzzles, e seu estilo que pelo trailer é bem chamativo. Porém, apesar de estar dando positivo para o jogo, é mais um que era realmente necessário que a steam tivesse uma review "Mista/Mixed", que é o sentimento que tive com o jogo. Primeiro, de destaque, é a trilha sonora que, com seus altos e baixos existem algumas fases com trilhas bem legais, e que combinam com a atual fase. Porém na questão de "puzzles" é que o jogo deixa um pouco a desejar, algumas das primeiras fases e algumas das ultimas realmente tem esse ar de "puzzles", mas boa parte das 18 fases é mais "ande, clique em um botão", ou "ande, colete N itens até o portal abrir". A história também, é bem confusa, algo difícil de se ver para jogos de puzzles que geralmente existe uma justificativa ou um porque os puzzles estarem acontecendo, eu comecei sem entender nada, e terminei quase que igual. Em uma escala de 0 (injogavel) a 5 (muito bom), esse jogo seria um 3/5, é um jogo legalzinho, nada que vai te prender, e provavelmente após zerar, você nunca vai ter o pensamento de "vou baixar esse jogo novamente para jogar". Em promoções, é possível encontrar o jogo a 1,99, o que é uma boa adição na biblioteca para pegar as cartas e/ou conquistas.

Fun game, I'm not one for puzzle games but I bought it for $0.99 and had a great time playing it. I wouldn't pay $9.99 for it though. Not enough content for that pricing.

This game is gorgeous. The fluidity creates a sense of calm.

Niko: Through The Dream is an older game from 2015. It's a venerable 10 years old at the time of this review. It looks like an esoteric minimalist puzzler akin to games like Portal and Q.U.B.E but it's more of a platformer... so I'm told. Due to defects or just plain bad design, you can't reall get into the full game, instead you start up on an island, you can go into a temple with a plant in it, and onto another island where four little pedestals pop up if you go near them. That's all there is to the game now, apart from jumping off the edge, and even that doesn't end the pain as you restart the game and are stuck with the same simple environment with no way to unlock more gameplay. What a pointless exercise... did they not test the game to make sure the rest of it is accessible? From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. You can't set 4K resolution even if your monitor advertises it because the game weirdly assumes you're using a 16:10 monitor even if you're not... what a weird defect but again it's apparent the developer never tested the game before publishing it. The game features lazy minimalist/untextured low-polygon "retro" assets and visuals, making this look like a barely functional 3D game from the early 1990s. The lack of textures is a method that lazy devs often use to disguise their lack of talent/interest in doing the graphics properly and trying to disguise it under the name of "art", or "We made it look bad on purpose", which really isn't something gamers should have to put up with. It's unclear why the developers weren't willing to arrange high quality, high polygon count contemporary assets and high resolution textures for the game. It looks bad as a result of their decisions, and that's just another reason to avoid it. The controls and game handling are notably very clunky and unsmooth here. It's janky and unsatisfying to play... and any experienced gamer will tell you, the handling, responsiveness and general gameplay feel of the control scheme must be well polished for this kind of game to succeed. Unfortunately, this is something the developer seems to have phoned in, with little to no apparent gameplay testing. They dropped the ball on this one. The controls can't be customised, which will be an annoyance for many, but it can also render the game unplayable for differently-abled gamers, left handed gamers or gamers using AZERTY or other international keyboard layouts. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. So, should you buy this game? Is this one of the best of the 110,000+ games on Steam? Niko: Through The Dream has the greedy, cash grab price of around $10 USD, it's not worth it given the defects and shortcomings with the product, especially considering the sheer number of completely free, much higher quality games on Steam. Yeah, ten bucks for a game that doesn't even work properly. For comparison, the $10 asking price for this game could get you games like "Bioshock Infinite", "Stellaris" or "Dishonored 2". Quality, professionally made games like those are frequently on sale cheaper than this.

É um jogo para quem adora puzzles. Gostei muito de ter jogado, apesar de ter me estressado muito sobre a jogabilidade de voo no último capítulo.

Вполне себе годная головоломка за свою цену
