Tekling 2

一款横板平台动作游戏 说实话，非常的无聊，纯靠复制粘贴出的大量关卡，垃圾的手感，纯粹浪费时间

"Tekling 2" is one of literally thousands of retro 2D platformers infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere... and I'm not kidding. Searching for "platformers" on the Steam store page yields over 17,000 results! Is this one of the best of those? Absolutely not. This is a platformer from the NP institute, dedicated to helping differently abled adults with digital skills, which is great for them but at the end of the day this does need to be reviewed in terms of the value it provides to gamers compared to the 10's of thousands of other free games on Steam (and paid ones, too, they tried selling this but couldn't). It's a very basic platformer with a bit of shooting... think the 2D versions of Duke Nukem but not even as good as those. Platforming is an old, mostly dead genre, and this lacklustre experience, while it doesn't have an upfront cost, isn't saving the genre... it's no surprise this failed to capture any attention from gamers in the era of immersive 3D gaming. On the topic of visuals, the weak looking 2D retro assets seem like they'd be more at home in a browser game or a mobile app. 3D graphics accelerators hit the mainstream of PC gaming in the mid 1990's with cards like the ATI Rage and Voodoo3D, there's no excuse for such poor 2D graphics in 2025. That alone is enough to disqualify this for recommendation. You're forced to sign a highly questionable yet legally unenforceable End User License Agreement... for such a relatively low effort, low quality product, this comes across more as a delusion of grandeur than anything else. This agreement includes questionable requirements that may attempt to revoke consumer law protections that gamers expect to have, which is also highly problematic. Developers must learn they are here to serve gamers, not control them. I had my cat walk over the keyboard while the EULA was displaying, which fixed that problem for me. 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 $1 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. In terms of public reception, this failed. There's over 130 million unique gamers visiting Steam every month. SteamDB showed the game peaked at [b]only 2 concurrent players[/b]... 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? I think you should give this one a miss. Although it's free, your time and storage are valuable resources, and the market is filled with superior options.

Игра "Tekling 2" – достойное продолжение оригинальной концепции, сумевшее сохранить ключевые особенности и при этом значительно улучшиться. Механика создания и управления Теклингами, милыми существами, способными к эволюции, стала глубже и интереснее. Появилось больше возможностей для кастомизации и развития, что делает каждый забег уникальным. Визуальный стиль стал более детализированным и приятным глазу. Локации разнообразны и полны секретов, а сами Теклинги выглядят очаровательно. Звуковое сопровождение отлично дополняет атмосферу игры, погружая в мир, полный опасностей и открытий. Однако, несмотря на все улучшения, игра не лишена недостатков. Иногда темп игры может казаться слишком медленным, особенно в начале. Кривая сложности не всегда сбалансирована, что может привести к внезапным и неприятным поражениям. В целом, "Tekling 2" – увлекательная и затягивающая игра, которая понравится любителям стратегий, симуляторов эволюции и просто тем, кто ищет что-то новое и необычное. Рекомендую к ознакомлению, если вы готовы к вызовам и любите экспериментировать.
