"Stories From the Cores" is a small educational game intended to teach gamers about the ocean floor... believe it or not I've seen worse ideas for games. In this game you do a few minigame type activities and read some text about what's in various ocean core drill samples. There's some quiz questions, sample collecting... it might be interesting for younger kids. The graphics in this game are passable, but could be better. And while it's vital for any game to have impressive visuals (gaming is a visual medium, after all), there's more to a game than just the graphics. To be worth a gamers time, the game must match top tier visuals with top tier gameplay, and that's not happening here. Not every "free" game really is. There's often MTX, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, or any other number of things that could mislead gamers, but in this case I'm glad to say this really does appear to be a fully free game. Nothing demonstrates a developers belief in themselves and their work than giving it away without any remuneration. This is a service to themselves, and the gaming industry, and should be applauded. Of course, just because something is free, doesn't necessarily mean it's valuable. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 3 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? This is a "maybe" experience... if you have a lot of free time on your hands and nothing else to do, why not? But for the purposes of a review, this isn't something I can say everyone must try. It's not quite there. Valve doesn't give us a "maybe" option in reviews, but if they did, that's what I'd choose for this.

This is a short educational game about core sampling from the ocean floor. It's very accurate to real world science using real world locations and even vessels like the JOIDES Resolution as the center for all of your activities. The graphics are cutting edge, but the information is presented in a fun and interactive manner, which lets even adults walks away with a bit of knowledge that they might not have had before. The game consists of three chapters, each of which takes about ten minutes or so to get through. There is a discussion on the topic at hand, and some light puzzles and quizzes to challenge the player. My only gripe is that some times ROV-33, your robotic helper, is standing in front of the answer button you want to press and you have to wait for it to move. Overall, this is a fine little freebie that I think could get a lot of use at schools or parents playing it with their kids. Again, the science is not dumbed down, but instead doled out in a way that any age group can understand and learn from, making it a fun family experience.

In all den Jahren habe ich selten so ein geiles Spiel gespielt. Die Grafik und die Art der Erzählung sprechen für sich selbst. Ich kann es nur von Herzen weiterempfehlen und verspreche euch es wird euer Leben verändern! Geil

Игра 'Stories From The Cores' – это увлекательная текстовая приключенческая игра, предлагающая погружение в киберпанк мир с неожиданными поворотами и глубокими моральными дилеммами. Персонажи хорошо проработаны, у каждого своя история и мотивация, что делает взаимодействие с ними интересным и значимым. Сюжет нелинеен, и ваши выборы действительно влияют на развитие событий и концовку, что дает ощущение контроля над происходящим. Разнообразие путей и возможность перепройти игру, чтобы увидеть альтернативные исходы – большой плюс. Хотя визуальная составляющая минималистична (в основном текст), игра компенсирует это атмосферным звуковым сопровождением и ярким стилем письма, умело создающим образы в воображении. Единственный минус – иногда сложные технические термины, требующие дополнительного поиска значения, но это незначительная плата за глубокий и проработанный мир. Рекомендую всем любителям текстовых RPG и киберпанка.
