The Ball

[b]The Ball[/b] [i]lmao[/i], is basically a washed down Portal game set within ancient structures as you navigate your mute character. The puzzles are very simple most of the time and you don't really feel challenged enough to go through the entirety of the game. Enemies are mostly mummies and they are begging to get crushed by, yes you've guessed it - [b]THE BALL[/b]. I've only played for an hour but I already saw all this game has to offer - mid puzzles, a giant, dragging ball that goes wherever you go, no weapons, no legs for the character who is awfully short for some reason and basically no storyline whatsoever. I don't know what were they thinking at Tripwire when they made this game with the most basic ass name in the history of gaming - [b]The Ball[/b] [i]lol[/i] doesn't bode well in my opinion at all and there's literally nothing about it that can make me play it for a minute longer. Tbh, I was basically [i]forced[/i] to buy this game in order to get a DLC character for Killing floor, no wonder why they did that because I don't know who in the right mind would ever buy this. [h3]4/10[/h3]

Сюжет игры довольно интересный с своеобразный в стиле ацтеков и инопришеленцев, но тот факт что вам придется искать секреты по карте тупо тыкаясь в каждый угол это очень грустно, в игре куча невидимых стен что усугубляют этот процесс. Что касаемо головоломок, то они все очень слабые, за всю игру только 2-3 меня заинтересовали, остальные либо долгие, либо скучные, механика с шаром по началу меня порадовала, но в итоге она вообще никак не изменится с первых кадров игры. Противники в игре одинаковые по сути своей, и ничего страшного в них нет, со временем ничего кроме раздражения лично у меня они не вызывали. Из плюсов могу отметить атмосферу в начале игры, и некоторых локаций ближе к концу, и сюжет, мне вправду было интересно узнать историю народа, полный рассвет и крах самой развитой части человечества, но я ни на секунду не задумываюсь о том чтобы перепройти всю игру заново чтобы открыть все секретки и узнать всю историю, мне жалко своего времени.

ИГРА ДЕТСТВА ДЛЯ ЗУМЕРОВ, НОРМЕСОВ + ПСЕВДОГЕЙМЕРОВ

Стара гра ,колись не було змоги пройти її,але зараз це зробив.

The Ball — это когда ты управляешь огромным железным шаром и думаешь, что будешь всех катать и крушить. На деле же ты постоянно застреваешь в углах, падаешь в пропасть и орёшь "да как ты туда закатился, б..ять?!". Физика такая, что хочется авторам руки оторвать. Красиво, атмосферно, но мозг выносит по полной.6/10. Игра для тех, у кого стальные нервы и стальной же шарик вместо мозга.

I took a gamble on The Ball, as I do not have the reflexes or hand-eye coordination for most fast paced shooting/dodging games. But there was something about its appearance and story which intrigued me, and because some reviews described it as not hard (for them a criticism, for me a ray of hope), I decided to take a chance. And, of course, I struggled, but with overall enjoyment and satisfaction as I slowly overcame the mixture of puzzles, combat and exploration in the Campaign part of the game. The Ball is an old game (2010), but there are some very helpful guides to updating its range of screen resolutions and refresh rates, which greatly improve the experience. There are a range of different achievements for game progress, destroying enemies, collecting story lore, and performing quirky actions (such as balancing & moving on the ball). Of course, in the end my gameplay weaknesses were ruthlessly exposed by even the most gentle of the Survival levels and I gave up on these without regret. But, given I paid an 80% discounted price of UK £1.39 and had over 30 hours of play time, I have no concerns about value - and entertainment - for money.

You are an archaeologist. You find a giant rolling doom sphere. You push it. It hits switches. It squashes mummies. It basically does stuff. The Ball is an oldschool physics puzzler/adventure where your only tool is a big metal ball — and your only plan is “roll over it until it works.” Pros: Weirdly satisfying ball‑physics puzzles 🪩 Exploration of ancient ruins feels cool 🗿 Short campaign + survival mode for extra chaos Cons: Story and combat are kinda bland 📜 Repetitive at times 🔁 Controls/feel are oldschool (for better and worse) 🎮 Verdict: If you wanna push a big ball through ancient ruins and feel smart for 6–8 hours, this is fun — especially on sale. Recommended (quirky indie).

Infelizmente, a única coisa positiva desse jogo é a ideia diferente de você sair por aí controlando uma bola gigante, que é a chave de tudo para o jogo — inclusive sua arma. Todo o restante é muito simples, até para jogos indie, mas os comandos da bola gigante funcionam muito bem. O que, se levar em conta como tudo no jogo é simples e reciclado, é impressionante. Nota 4/10. Vale uma ressalva que a história final do jogo até que foi legal, diferente de todo o restante.
