Outliver: Redemption

The voice acting is good. The puzzles are broken and bad: very little feedback for the player. The death thing that chases you SOUNDS rad af, but looks dumb and has an attack animation that doesn't seem to make sense. Definitely can't reccommend this at this price. https://youtu.be/P-qwO5WFwcE

Outliver: Redemption is a badly made Unreal based 3D rendered top down adventure/action game as you march forward through samey low poly environments being chased by Death, who catches you and so then you can stop playing this crap game. The quality of the implementation here is so deplorably low I suspect this may be some kind of joke. It's really, really bad. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customise the graphics settings. There's no way for gamers to ensure this is running at the native resolution of their displays... there's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. There's no way for gamers to try improve the low quality graphics. The game features lazy low-polygon "retro" assets, making this look like a barely functional 3D game from the 1990s. It's unclear why the developers weren't able to arrange high quality, high polygon count contemporary assets for the game, and also irrelevant... what matters is that this looks bad as a result of their decisions, a compromise PC gamers shouldn't have to put up with. 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. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. Outliver: Redemption has a laughable, eye watering price of $12 USD, for which you could easily get any number of older AAA games, let alone the sheer number of free games available on Steam. The $12 price makes this seem like some kind of cash grab, or something unethical is going on. Follow the money, and so on. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, this is impossible to recommend.
