Subtension

I only played for around 20 minutes, but this was a good experience. There are some room for improvement, but we'll get to that later. Story. It's interesting. I got to one of the endings and it was a premature one, based on my choices. As promised by the description, there are interesting twists and turns. (Edit: The story actually doesn't change much, despite your choices. Whether you negotiate or disagree, you will be forced to battle enemies. But it has multiple endings.) Art and Sound. Simple, beautiful and elegant. The color palette succeeds in conveying the grimness of this future. The quietness of the soundtracks complement that feeling of being submerged for a long time. Gameplay. It's fun for the most part, but pretty simple and easy. At its core, you point and click to shoot and fire. Like FTL and Crying Suns. I didn't need to upgrade my ship past the tutorial but again, I only played for 3/4 fights before ending prematurely. I never figured out how to repair the ship though, which seems essential and should be in the tutorial. Speaking of the tutorial, I wish there was a way to skip that. I'm going to try out the game a few more times to see where the story takes me, but the idea of going through that same tutorial is tiresome.

Yıkılmış bir dünyanın denizleri altında insanlıktan geriye kalanları kurtarmak için denizaltınızı donatın, mürettebatını oluşturun ve komuta edin. Denizaltınızın sistemlerini yönetin ve bu gerçek zamanlı strateji destanında nişan alın! FTL'den ilham almışlar.

Очень скучно.

Игра 'Subtension' - это напряженный и атмосферный хоррор-платформер, который умело играет с ощущением клаустрофобии и постоянной опасности. Визуально игра выполнена в мрачных, приглушенных тонах, что идеально передает чувство изоляции и безнадежности. Геймплей основывается на решении головоломок, требующих внимательности и логического мышления, а также на скрытном перемещении, поскольку враги смертельно опасны. Сюжет хоть и минималистичен, но достаточно интригует своей недосказанностью, оставляя игроку пространство для интерпретации. Саунд-дизайн выше всяких похвал - скрипы, шорохи и внезапные звуки заставляют вздрагивать и постоянно держать ухо востро. Однако, игра может показаться сложной и даже несправедливой в некоторых моментах. Смерть наступает довольно быстро, а чекпоинты не всегда расположены удобно. Кроме того, управление иногда ощущается немного неуклюжим. Несмотря на эти недостатки, 'Subtension' оставляет сильное впечатление. Это небольшая, но запоминающаяся игра, которая точно найдет своего поклонника среди любителей хорроров, предпочитающих медленный, вдумчивый геймплей напряженным экшен-сценам. Если вы ищете игру, способную пощекотать нервы и заставить вас почувствовать себя беззащитным в темном и враждебном мире, то 'Subtension' - отличный выбор.

[spoiler] note: this is a wolverinesoft copypasta inside joke [/spoiler] Well, it runs fairly smoothly. There's absolutely nothing to it though and if these guys are coding students, I don't know who is teaching them but they seem to have missed the bit where they create a worthwhile FTL-clone. These kids could be leaving university with a steady income if they'd just put a bit more game in their game. I would like to see a sequel with a bit more ultrawide aspect ratios support, some information about the submarines, lift all the good features from FTL-likes (and FTL is NOT a stand out of the genre btw - it's simply one of the least bad ones that's still going), zoom out about 500% because this is to FTL as Duplo is to Lego at the moment. The submarine has 4 room types which is incredibly boring and there's no information about the rooms that are coming etc etc etc. I've no idea what they were learning from this - the only thing I can guess is that perhaps it's about the code in the background? It wasn't lagging even running at speed so maybe they created a hyper efficient code base in comparison to FTL which can really lag when it's got a lot of stuff on screen. Who knows? Subtension II please. Lets see what you can do when you try and make money, which should obviously be what students should be doing with these projects.
