Reach for the Sun

Симулятор нелёгкой жизни элитного садовода, который трудится над одним растением от начала отступления снегов до их наступления. Есть несколько растений, каждое из которых мы должны вырастить за сезон, причём желательно так, чтобы они дали побольше семян. За семена потом можем купить новые растения и всякие прибамбасы для садовода, чтобы растить проще было. Есть стратегический режим, где за 20 ходов мы должны вырастить растение, развивая его корневую систему, стебли, листья и цветы, которые ещё опылить и срезать надо, чтобы семена получить. После каждого хода получаем ресурсы от имеющегося растения, которыми распоряжаемся в новом ходу. В классическом режиме всё намного более суетное, ведь теперь это не пошаговка и всё происходит в реальном времени: от корней и листьев мы должны успевать получать ресурсы на дальнейшее развитие, да ещё и вредителей отгонять, ну и спасаться от непогоды. Действовать придётся самим, а не автоматически нам ресурсы дадут как в режиме стратегии. Если постараемся, то рекорды поставим. А ещё есть прекрасный альманах, который каждый уважающий себя садовод прочесть должен, чтобы проблем в саду своём не иметь. Выглядит всё сложнее чем выращивается, а потому не боимся и выращиваем! С удовольствием всё вырастил и выполнил все достижения! Решил сыграть перед написанием обзора и поставил такие рекорды: 1 - 7:37; 2 - 7:04; 3 - 7:23; 4 - 8:59; 5 - 9:27.

[h1]As Educational as it gets![/h1] [hr][/hr][i]This seemingly pretty looking game hides its ugly educational nature. Its mechanics are knee deep. It is barely runs. It is missing basic functions which you would expect from every game like fullscreen. This is a product which reeks of a minimum viable product mentality where a contractor got a job and he did as much as he had to fulfil that contract.[/i][hr][/hr] [h1]Gameplay[/h1] Game is simple and there is little to talk about it. This is often a bad sign when reviewing a game, because a game which can be completed so quickly rarely has anything worthwhile about it. [list] ːsteamthumbsupː [b][i]Click mode and Strategy mode[/i][/b] [*]Game has two modes. One which runs in real time and you have to click on parts of a plant. Other one is supposedly harder, strategy mode which is measured in turns. The truth is that strategy mode is easier. In real time you lose resources if you do not click fast enough on a leaf or a root. In addition, since clicking on leafs takes away resources, you can easily play sub-optimally. In addition, you have to deal with various effects like frostbites and insects. It is a cool feature, but it makes game into two separate mini-games. ːBUSTLINGFUNGUSː [b][i]Upgrades[/i][/b] [*]This game has several upgrades to unlock. They are helpful, but it makes already easy game even easier. It also just outright removes various in-game mechanics in a game which severely lacks content as it is. It is literally upgrade to play less of this game. ːsteamthumbsdownː [b][i]Lack of Content[/i][/b] [*]The biggest issue this game has that it severely lacks content. Both in terms of gameplay and educational. I would be fine with gameplay being as simple as it is. However, there is just next to none information on plants. I learned next to nothing, I had only refreshed what I already knew. I understand that original audience for this game is supposed to be kids. However, since when you can say that you literally know all the facts in school's textbooks? This lack of educational content, lack of interesting information makes this game truly a disappointment. From gameplay side, I was missing more and more meaningful mechanics. Frostbites are random. Why there isn't any draughts? Why you do not have varying season lengths? Why temperature does not go lower or higher with accompanying bonuses? There is ton of real life effects on plants which this game misses and it just shows how little effort developer had put into making this a good product to play. ːsteamthumbsdownː [b][i]Technical Problems[/i][/b] [*]Last, but not least are game's technical problems. This game does not have something as simple as full screen view. Game lacks animations or slows to the crawl in certain places. When I played this title, I felt exactly why it has mixed ratings on Steam. I thought that it was merely because people purchased a simple game and they were disappointed by a simple game. However, that is not the case. Game looks great only in screenshots while in reality it just barely works on computers. [/list] [h1]A Game good only for kids at school[/h1] This game is so basic that it has content only for an hour or two of play. It is good game for children to play throughout a lesson in school. However, it fails as a proper game due to lack of gameplay mechanics. It also fails as an educational game, because all educational content is basic and sparse. It is not a game to play if you wish to learn more about plants. A product fails on both accounts and has no use outside of very limited scenarios. You will learn more from watching a documentary on plants.

bitki yetiştiriciliği güzel mi bilemedim aslında bir esprisi de yok eğitici bir yapım gibi ondan dolayı olumlu

Restarted this game (revisited). I saw I played it before in 2013 or so. Apparently the game was not able to keep me playing at that time and it is now clear to me why. Just isn't that interesting. Played it to a 100% complete (in achievements) (within 2.1 hrs) Won't be revisiting this game again. Replay value is just very low. I do not know how much I payed for this, but it should not be worth much for what it is, maybe a buck or 2. It's a boring clicking game. No real challenge. No skill. Just click and unlock. When you have an evening of nothingness, some beer and just relax, you can click through from some mild entertainment. I was hoping to have a more tamagotchi kind of experience, but it is far from that. Might be nice for young children or something. It is definitely family friendly. Graphics are ok. Music and sounds are 'calming'. Voice is actually quite good. Nice explanation and vocal tutorial. UI, is kind of ok. I did not really encounter a major problem navigating. Annoying part was the aspect ration of the screen (not wide screen, black bars).

10/10 if you like plants.

It's not a fun game; it's not a good learning tool; and the lessons that it does teach are often wrong.

I love this game. It's well thought-out with the balance of the resources, the unlockables, and the different game modes. My only struggle was getting the bee to the right flower, haha! I hope more content is released for this game, I'll be looking forward to whatever they come up with.

[h1] intro [/h1] Growing plants and making them produce seeds before winter comes [h1] What i like [/h1] - nice soothing music - tutorial is clear - easy 100% achievement - able to upgrade the area to allow easier achievements gathering [h1] What i don't like about the game [/h1] - low replayability - old game - resource balancing is there but mostly is just point and click whichever flashes [h1] Others [/h1] Game was streamed on https://twitch.tv/execell_is_here I bought the game when it was 50% discount. Did i have fun in the short time i play? yes i did was it worth the cost? not really i would say to wait for at least an 80% or 90% discount to get the game and play.

Nice and educative game.

Sehr interessantes kleines Spiel, das gleichzeitig einem zeigt, wie eine Pflanze funktioniert. Leider ist das Spiel nur in Englisch, aber dennoch für jeden empfehlenswert, der halbwegs dieser Sprache mächtig ist. Technisch ist das Spiel nicht sehr aufwendig, dafür gibt es keine merkbare Fehler.
