However, it didn't take long for me to run around and realize how empty the place felt. Honestly, I'm too bored to even be all that angry about this letdown of a game. [h1]Gameplay[/h1] As I set out to explore my island paradise, I had high expectations for shenanigans and wacky, fun activities to do pouring out of every twist and turn. Maybe near the mansion, I'd fend off annoying tourists with high-octane kung fu, while closer to the shore, I'd use an impressive arsenal to blast alien invaders. In-between different battles, I'd pick up expensive trinkets as a time-killer, maybe never quite loading up an official mini-game, yet nonetheless switching styles of gameplay and amusement along the way. Technically, there's a few instances of things like this sprinkled around, but they're not nearly plentiful enough. Finding a basketball and struggling to sink one shot was an item on my checklist, so I guess that was supposed to count as a fun diversion. It only took longer than ten seconds to accomplish because of how finicky it was to line up the shot, and didn't make me want to shoot hoops for a moment longer. This should be an engaging activity, not a begrudging duty on a chores list. The moment that stopped me in my tracks and infuriated me was when I picked up a toy gun with only ten bullets. In a game where I'm supposed to be experiencing a total power trip, goofing off on a billionaire's island, the fake weapon I just obtained can only fire ten rounds before I'm out of ammo?! I'm stupid rich, ammo should be spilling out onto the ground like rice thrown at a wedding, but I've got less capacity than a lame NERF knock-off? Whoever made this game didn't understand their own mission, failing miserably. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3753068495 [h1]Controls[/h1] Combat is really unsatisfying, because simply walking up to an enemy and trying to hit them feels difficult, “Okay, surely I can punch this person right in front of me... except no, I somehow missed. Going for the three hit combo, and didn't connect with a single one. Cool.” Something so basic in your move set shouldn't be a matter of trial and error each time you make an attempt. This holds true for more novel interactions as well, such as when I tried numerous times to sink a basketball in the hoop. Even figuring out how to use the toy gun and fire it was a hassle. [h1]Story[/h1] For being a supposed billionaire action star with all the best stuff, your private island is somehow incredibly exposed. How could hundreds of people casually wander onto your home otherwise, including oddballs like a sentient rock, death, and massive germs? What other choice does Bill have but to get ticked off and deal with all of these nuisances himself? Oh right, he could just buy a small army and have people do all the work for him, or even relocate to another island if it's a lost cause. You're not questioning the brilliance of this story, are you?! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3753069095 [h1]Visuals[/h1] While looking around, there was something about the visuals that was bothering me. A few objects looked unnaturally shiny, but otherwise didn't look too bad for a 3D indie title. Once I realized the problem, it changed how I saw the entire game though. You're supposed to be on a tropical island, but the starting area looks like you're in the meadow of a normal forest. Almost everything should be made up of sand and littered with palm trees, but that's not remotely the case. Aside from the shoreline, almost nothing around you fits the setting right, including when impossible locations are next to each other. For example, having a desert meant to replicate Las Vegas within proximity to a relatively short mountain range capped with snow. Somehow the billionaire is able to create an entirely unnatural area, yet couldn't be bothered to make sure there's more to do when you're there. The store page mentions AI imagery was used in the game, but only for a few things, like the comic books. After seeing as many blatant rip-offs and asset flip titles as I have, I'm not going to high horse and browbeat a developer for using AI in any capacity. From my experience, the few things I'd never use it for is the title page or promotional images, because that makes me think the entire game is nothing but AI generated slop. For me, those games always get yeeted into the never touch it with a ten foot pole category. [h1]Sound Design[/h1] Wanting to match the setting, the soundtrack consists of several relaxing songs made up of what's probably a ukulele playing. It's a little ironic how focused the music was, while the gameplay and surroundings are all over the place. If you have any problems with the songs though, you could play your own easily enough, but I enjoy that naturally soothing sound myself. Something I found oddly lacking was any voice acting from the protagonist, a la Duke Nukem style. For a guy who's supposed to be raging, he has nothing to say when encountering all of these things that should be ticking him off. To be fair, endlessly repeating voice lines could become a Bubsy level irritant, but done right, it certainly would have given this Bill fellow some much needed personality, “Things are on my island that shouldn't be here, and that makes me quite irritated, by jove and juniper.” https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3753068116 [h1]Pros[/h1] 🌟 There's no penalty for attacking people, but there is for hurting wild animals. 🌟 The checklist keeps track of your objectives. [h1]Cons[/h1] ❌ Effects last for such short durations it won't make any difference to your experience. Being giant for 60 seconds doesn't mean anything when it takes longer than that to get somewhere that it'd be relevant. ❌ There are presents all over the place, but you can't open them. That makes so much sense! ❌ Even if you find one of the game's activities, they aren't any fun to complete. [h1]Tips[/h1] 🔍 Going down is easier, so when exploring, prioritize moving upwards at first. It'd be more efficient. 🔍 You can hear when an insect is nearby. [h1]Final Thoughts[/h1] I've heard the idea before that a boring movie is much worse than a badly written or filmed one, and this game does a decent job demonstrating that point. It's not a well made title by any means, but unlike utterly broken messes that might amuse you with how broken everything is, trying to find something to do was utterly unengaging, “Maybe I'll find something to do over here. No, even though there's a pond, I can't do anything. I've been jogging around for minutes, and still haven't found something new I can interact with.” RB felt like an open world that somebody forgot to fill with stuff. The developer was promising the sky, while never even getting off the ground.

Great and very fun game! just got to get it optimized for your pc. very funny stuff, the only thing it is missing is the raging bill music from the trailer, which you can just download the mp3 file of the trailer from Youtube and the dev. has it so you can play a music file so that is pretty awesome 10/10 It has a Huge Giant Island, and lots of little memes, Such a great game Well worth the price!

Sympa, gros travail du dev, y'a pleins de choses a comprendre, faut scruter le trailer et les vignettes des haut faits steam pour en savoir plus, et faut suivre le guide sur le forum steam aussi, je l'ai 100% mais vous pouvez pas vous, vous êtes un peu fini sur les jeux vidéos !

Finally live :-) Let's have a lot of fun trying to complete all those crazy TODO challenges, have some bloody killing fun and more... The map is so big, lot of stuff to discover every day and hope more surprising stuff coming for our pleasure in the future.

Das Game läuft enorm schlecht Optimierung gleich Null, demo lief super gut aber das fertige Spiel absolut nicht , wenn Optimierungen noch vorgenommen werden dann kann man sich es mal anschaun lustig sieht es aufjedenfall aus/bzw demo war witzig momentan so ne 3/10

RAGING BILL Un jeu que je n'attendais pas vraiment mais étant tombé dessus à la PGW 2025 et adorant les jeux sanbox délirants (style Goat Simulator), il fallait absolument que je joue à la version finale ❤ Public conseillé : ☐ Les joueurs sans humour ☐ Les grinders de l'enfer X Les geeks qui aiment les références X Les joueurs qui veulent se détendre X Les fans de secrets bien cachés ☐ Les pacifistes ☐ Les Pro gamers ☼ Graphismes : ☐ Montre Casio ☐ GameBoy Color ☐ PS1 ☐ So 2020 X Chouette pour un jeu bac à sable ☐ Ultra 4K ☐ PC quantique 4D 🎵 Musique du jeu : ☐ Saignement d'oreille ☐ Y'a de la musique ? ☐ Bof X Ca s'écoute mais perfectible à mon sens ☐ Vivement le concert ☐ Orgasme auditif € Qualité/prix : ☐ Il faudrait me payer pour y jouer ☐ Attendez une promo X Abordable ☐ Un rein € Configuration PC recommandée : ☐ Mega Drive ☐ Entrée de gamme X Milieu de gamme X Haut de gamme ☐ Un PC de la NASA ☼ La prise en main ☐ Inné X Simple ☐ Difficile ☐ Nécessite l'implantation deux cerveaux et 4 bras € Durée de vie ☐ Moins longtemps que ma première fois ☐ Plusieurs heures X Presque infinie @ Niveau de la traduction X Anglais (mais rien de compliqué) ☐ Universel § Récurrence de bugs ☐ Le jeu est une sorte de gros bug en phase terminal X Quelques bugs qui ne gênent pas le gameplay mais qui sont présents ☐ Le jeu est codé à la perfection Il s'agit un jeu sandbox donc ca arrive souvent dans le genre. Je tiens à préciser que le jeu est fait par un dev solo pour la plupart des éléments lié au gameplay (pas d'équipes de 50 dev derrière). Pour résumé, c'est un bon jeu sandbox qui est très fun et qui m'a fait rire. La personnalisation est cool mais perfectible, j'espère de futurs majs plus tard. Les grosses réf à la culture geek et à la culture 80/90 sont franchement cool. On n'est pas tenu par la main, seul une liste de chose à faire est dispo, à vous de voir si vous voulez explorer ou compléter la liste. Certes le jeu a des défauts comme des bugs mineurs et un gameplay par toujours précis pour les coups de doigts et les coups de pieds (les armes par contre zéro problème) mais pour le prix, ce n'est pas un problème. Il y'a même une démo pour ceux sui hésite. Enfin certains secrets sont bien corsés mais les efforts paient car il y a souvent une récompense à la clé. Merci pour ce jeu <3
