[REC] Desolation

I don't have many arguments to consider giving it a positive review. And my opininon is not based on the game length, small scope or the visible low budget. It is rather the result of experiencing a project which is the effect of visible minimalism. The idea behind it is quite cool and I could very well see it done more solidly. However, there are two layers here, the story and the gameplay, which are not coordinated with one another. While walking SLOWLY around the ruined building we encounter the most cliché, cheap types of scares you could possibly think of. None of them is consequently tied to the final encounter. While there are many translation options, I suppose most of them are done by AI or automatic translator, because its quality is really poor. On top of it all, the performance is horrible. For such a small project it is straight up baffling that you would require the newest RTX 4xxx or 5xxx in order for it to run smoothly. This is the final argument for a thesis, that being able to generate a pleasing to the eye scenery in an engine like UE5 shouldn't be the sole reason for creating a whole game project around it. It requires a bit more of planning ahead. Let's hope that at least some of the technical issues get resolved in the future. I might reconsider changing the opinion after that.
