Sogo Vego

"Sogo Vego" is another low key asset flip. This is just a collection of mismatched (probably store-bought or free stock) assets thrown together to form a basic, shallow experience... more designed for the sake of an amateur developer being able to call themselves a "game developer" thanks to Steam Direct and stock assets than a product designed for gamers. For that reason it's obviously not going to provide a decent gaming experience. This is your usual collection of assets thrown in a blender, from Russia, of course, but at least this was made with Godot instead of Unity... Godot's 3D engine is pretty good but most amateur devs can't work out how to use it, because 3D game development is just too hard for amateurs I guess. Anyway it's a shame to see it abused with this Russian shovelware. This is your usual minimum viable product fake game shovelware, a jumpscare simulator where you're on a space station and you need to creep around or you get jumpscared and die, which is frankly better than the rest of the game because then you can stop playing it and your life immediately improves. If you think the graphics look okay, remember that they are just store-bought assets "borrowed" to hide the lack of a real budget or talent. It's a house of cards made of someone else's work. The fundamental problem is that if a developer can't create their own assets, they lack the technical skills to build a functional, engaging game. "Sogo Vego" proves this point perfectly. This game is fairly dated at 6 years old... and even back then it looked old and busted compared to contemporary, professionally made 3D games of the same period. It looked bad then, it looks worse now. Now on to pricing and value for gamers. There's no initial download price, but the developer was charging $3 USD for this. Price barriers, especially on low quality products, can be a direct cause of failure. It seems like a nice gesture for the game to have no up-front cost anymore, but it also tells us that the game wasn't good enough to succeed as a paid product. This is also a bit of a slap in the face to anyone who showed enough questionable judgement to pay money for this... nobody got refunded. Since free games don't contribute to your game collector badge and other profile stuff, is this a worthwhile addition to your Steam library? This is a "nope". While it won't necessarily cost you money, the time and hard drive space it requires could be better invested in one of the many higher quality alternatives on Steam.
