Riverhill Trials

10/10

While I did not enjoy my time playing this game, due to various reasons (lack of variety of gameplay, broken mechanics, missing textures, etc.) I do have to give it some credit: this might be the most gorgeous game I have had the pleasure of experiencing. A key reason I didn't enjoy the gameplay aspect of this game was because the flying platforms moved at the exact same speed as the player, without varying speeds. The space aspect of the game was a neat idea, however the controls are inconsistent, laggy, and slow responding. One minute, the game would run perfectly, smooth as butter. And the next I would be getting 2 fps! Despite its many shortcomings, I can see this game having loads of potential, and if the developers happen to stumble upon this particular review, with a lot of work, I can truly see this game becoming amazing.

за 15 ру одна из лучших игр

Za hru jsem dal v podstatě jen pár korun a neměl jsem přílišná očekávání. O to více jsem si hraní užil, protože kvalita je zde nečekaně dobrá. Především grafika a soundtrack naprosto překvapily. Hra je jednoduchá kombinace simulátoru chůze a plošinovky a délka hraní je celkem rozumná, hru dokončíte dříve, než se začnete nudit. Příběh nestojí za zmínku, ale osobně se mi líbil voice acting. Občasné chyby textur či zavádějící fyzika pohybu se dá v této cenové relaci snadno odpustit.

See despite putting a thumbs down on this game I really liked it. After the first time I played it I found myself drawn back to it. The stunning visuals and nice music makes for a nice experience. But I still wouldn't recommend it. Not in this stage. My main complaint is that certain rocks glitch out so that the jumping and/or walking gets delayed. Getting to the middle of those hellish (but challenging and quite fun) floating rocks only to realize that you can't jump on one isn't fun. The dialogue feels stiff and a bit weird from time to time. The breaking of the fourth wall is strange and the way that the character isn't controlling makes is worse. It feels like forced comedy wich makes it not funny at all. For me that isn't a big problem but it felt like something I should include. The controls are very laggy. It goes from running perfectly smooth to low frame rate even when just looking around. Another thing that brings down the points is the lack of sound effects. Especially the lack of footsteps. I don't care if I can't see the legs, I still want to hear the sound of walking. It's a nice game with great potential that lacks in it's current state.

Hallo meine werten Spieler und Spielerinnen. Dieses Spiel ist an sich echt ganz okay! (vorallem für den Preis von 40 Cent) Was nur hart nervt ist, dass man nachdem man es einmal durchgespielt hat (ungefähr eine Stunde "Story") nix mehr tun kann. Ich habe scheinbar auf meinem Weg 3 Ufos (von 30) nicht eingesammelt. Wollte die dann nachholen und hatte schon die Vermutung, dass ich das Spiel nochmal spielen darf, um sie zu sammeln. Kommt aber noch besser. Wenn man, nachdem man das Spiel einmal durchgespielt hat, auf "New Game" drückt, startet die Introsequenz im Raumschiff. Ist diese dann beendet, wird man sofort zum Ende des Spiels geworfen. Es gibt auch keine Chance im Nachhinein backtracking zu begehen. Bei ersten Spiel wars aber solide... war okay. Nicht die besten 40 Cent meines Lebens, aber auch nicht die schlechtesten.

just average cheap crap -.-
