One4

"One4" looks and feels like a student project, but it's not completely terrible. Admittedly there's not much depth... this is essentially a 3D version of Connect-4, with colourfule "dudes" that you need to connect in a row. There's no players, but you can play against a bot if you like. Is this one of the best games on Steam? Of course not... but I've seen a million times worse. The graphics in this game are passable, but could be better. And while it's vital for any game to have impressive visuals (gaming is a visual medium, after all), there's more to a game than just the graphics. To be worth a gamers time, the game must match top tier visuals with top tier gameplay, and that's not happening here. You're forced to sign a highly questionable yet legally unenforceable End User License Agreement... for such a relatively low effort, low quality product, this comes across more as a delusion of grandeur than anything else. This agreement includes questionable requirements that may attempt to revoke consumer law protections that gamers expect to have, which is also highly problematic. Developers must learn they are here to serve gamers, not control them. I had my cat walk over the keyboard while the EULA was displaying, which fixed that problem for me. On the matter of pricing and value for gamers, most "free" games on Steam aren't really free. There's often nasty mobile app cash shops, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, or any other number of shady pricing schemes that could mislead gamers, but in this case I'm glad to say this really does appear to be a fully free game. Nothing demonstrates a developers belief in themselves and their work than giving it away without any remuneration. This is a service to themselves, and the gaming industry, and should be applauded. Of course, just because something is free, doesn't necessarily mean it's valuable, or something you might want to spend your time on. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 9 concurrent players... 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? This is a "maybe" experience... if you have a lot of free time on your hands and nothing else to do, why not? But for the purposes of a review, this isn't something I can say everyone must try. It's not quite there. Valve doesn't give us a "maybe" option in reviews, but if they did, that's what I'd choose for this.

[h1]Before I played One4, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]

one of the best games ive ever played

Ever wanted to play Connect 4 in a Rubik's cube? Me neither! Strange as this game is from visual style to game mechanics, there's still plenty of fun to be had for a free to play game! The UI is a little janky, but it's still easy to set up a multiplayer game with a friend, and different modes that change the game's mechanics keep the game interesting. Highly recommend this game if you and a friend are looking for something new to play.

Игра 'One4' оказалась на удивление увлекательной и сложной головоломкой, которая затягивает с первых минут. Простые правила – соединять одинаковые числа, чтобы они образовали одно большее – обманчивы. По мере прохождения уровней, игровое поле заполняется, и места для маневров становится все меньше, требуя стратегического мышления и планирования на несколько ходов вперед. Визуально игра минималистична и приятна глазу, что позволяет сосредоточиться на геймплее. Цветовая гамма спокойная, а анимации плавные. Отсутствие отвлекающих элементов – большой плюс. Звуковое сопровождение ненавязчивое и хорошо вписывается в общую атмосферу. 'One4' – отличный вариант для тех, кто ищет казуальную, но в то же время интеллектуальную игру, чтобы скоротать время в дороге или просто отдохнуть, тренируя мозг. Хотя с ходом уровней сложность возрастает, игра не становится невозможной, а лишь подстегивает к поиску новых решений. Рекомендую всем любителям головоломок.
