Polarity

игра не прям плохая но и не хорошая тем более кооп вообще не работает как надо по скидке до 5/10 дотянет

Mom, I want Portal. "We have Portal at home." Portal at home: Polarity "But Mom, the controls don't work properly." "I don't care. I don't play video games." And that is probably the exact scenario where I'd recommend Polarity over Portal. I genuinely didn't want to give this game a negative review. Polarity isn't actually a terrible game. The red/blue polarity mechanic is interesting, the puzzles are fun even if they're fairly easy, and the single-player achievements work. For a cheap little Portal-inspired puzzle game, I was having a surprisingly decent time. Then I discovered the co-op achievements. Want 100% achievements? Great! Hope you own a controller. Got a controller? Excellent! Now find another person willing to play Polarity with you. Don't have another player? Well, congratulations—you can apparently become Player 1 and Player 2 and discover talents you never knew you had. The game only has local/shared-screen co-op, and achievement progression requires completing that content. So a perfectly enjoyable single-player achievement hunt suddenly turns into a hardware and friendship check. But don't worry. There's another feature: Sometimes jumping doesn't work. You press jump. Nothing happens. Perhaps your character simply wasn't emotionally prepared to jump that day. Normally I'd chalk something like this up to my keyboard, settings, or incompetence. Unfortunately, other players have been reporting jumping problems for years. And apparently the developer's solution was: Do nothing. That's ultimately why I'm giving Polarity a negative review. The puzzles aren't bad. The polarity mechanic isn't bad. The single-player campaign isn't bad. The problem is that basic control issues have seemingly remained unresolved for years, while achievement hunters get rewarded for finishing the single-player campaign by discovering that they now require a controller and another human being. There is genuinely a decent little puzzle game underneath all of this. I enjoyed enough of it that I wanted to recommend it. Unfortunately: Portal exists. And Portal's jump button generally understands its job description. 5/10 — Mom, can we please just buy Portal? Gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okncpdfHDDY&list=PLcDpCocdcZ1s&index=1&t=1414s
