The Last Caretaker

There's a decent amount to like to this game, but after almost 20 hours in, the AI-produced script is really getting on my nerves. "It's not just X — it's Y!" and whatnot. It's to the point I wish I could turn off the quest narration completely.

this game has some of the coolest mechanics i've seen in a video game. you're a robot so you need electricity and have to plug yourself in. if you want to save the game you "backup" your "data" at a terminal. the buttons for elevators work. the screens display live information. theres a forklift but that isn't useful, a cool idea but it should be able to lift a bunch of weight so it can be useful. some doors can be opened with your hands by clicking and moving your mouse which is rather enjoyable. the boat is 10/10. the waves toss you around and feel fluid, they can also throw your heading off so you'll need to correct it. the storms in the game feel rather realistic and i appreciate the frequency. diesel is hard to come and makes you conserve or run entirely off your electric engine. the building is simple, convenient, and still takes a second to figure out. the sound design is excellent too. now the downside. the game is a colony builder, you are a robot trying to restore humanity. you find "seeds", grow them in a chamber... but you need food.... and "memories". simple enough, memories are kind of annoying to find but you have a handful that you kept. You launch the grown seeds into space for them to develop and live while you restore earth (i don't know how in depth the game goes into this and its weird to explain, essentially its just a platform you build and grow trees, i don't know much more than that and i think i'm stopping my playthrough here) after you launch the first humans into space you will discover that you have to start a committee.... well the humans you developed are worthless and don't have any specialization like "teacher" or "lab technician" so you need to make more humans to fill those roles. theres no guide (in game) that explains how you achieve these specific roles, good luck figuring it out, those committee roles will not be filled until you do. that put me off of this game. excellent mechanics (i'm overlooking the shooting mechanics, its not great but this isn't an fps game so i'm cutting it some slack), fantastic story, horrible implementation of how you complete the game. for $10- it gets a 8/10, you will enjoy it for a while, definitely worth it for $20- 6/10, you'll probably still enjoy the mechanics enough to pay it for the listed $30 its a hard 4/10, great mechanics, but you're gonna be disappointed when you realize its gonna be an awful grind to complete the game i really wanted to finish the game but the colony builder is not for me and i do not care enough to look up guides to finish it. i got this as a birthday gift to myself, it was enjoyable, but for $30 there are plenty of other games i couldve bought and would've finished. final rating 5/10 to the devs, i believe you can make an incredible game, one that could win game of the year, but the implementation of the colony building aspect absolutely ruined the game for me. I will still hold faith that you can improve upon what was lacking in this game. even though i'm giving it a 5/10 it is a fantastic game. I don't write reviews to bash something, i enjoy gaming. i write reviews so others have better insight and might save them from wasting time AND so that the developers can improve. Good luck with your next title!

Отличная игра, спокойная медитативная не хватает кооператива но тогда нарушится вся магия ПОСЛЕДНЕГО хранителя

Very fun but absolutely early access game. Simple things like being able to control click to split an item doesn't exist. Once these get added it'll be a definite recommend, but if you are ok with dealing with some control and menu jank, this game is super fun. There is so much stuff to see, the best part is reading the logs actually can tell you where some hidden things are and give you some direction. Very excited to see this game developed. Oh but performance is atrocious, beautiful game but still awful performance. I'd call it oilpunk.

Warning: this game has NO automation! This isn't a negative review per say but you only have 2 options in steam this is more of a be cautious review First up the game runs relatively well on my PC in the about 100 hours I've played I only had 2-3 crashes and once I got the settings dialed in the performance ran relatively well around 80-90fps and this being in EA performance issues are to be expected This is one of those games that has alot of interesting ideas but suffers from poor execution This is a VERY laborious game with lots of waiting times to be AFK there is 0 automation in this game productions only runs if you're in the vicinity and you have to manually do most tasks and any upgrades you might get won't ease the burden one bit this needs some adressing by the developers as it makes the game rather tedious in the mid- to long run Travel is slow you be sailing in this game as you main mode of transportation but the map is rather big and your speed is slow so expect to use 15-30min between locations and you be going back and fourth ALOT! POIs is a mixed bag some are interesting but there's alot of copy-pastish feeling to alot of the POIs which is a bit of a shame since it takes away from the interest to go exploring the different locations This isn't the next subnautica either since the underwater world is currently rather dull and uninteresting The combat seems kinda slapped on in hurry and it feels like it don't really needs to be there All in all the game is and feels VERY grindy but with little reward you don't feel any accomplishment once a task is done and the game don't reward you for doing it in any meaningful way either wait an see with this one it has alot potential but currently suffers from poor execution

the game is awsome, im afraids of ocean, i havent dived much

игра хорошая! очень продуманная механика строительства и связи с кораблем, НО когда оптимизация? почему с выключенной трассировкой все тормозит ещё больше? надеюсь разработчики озадачены этими вопросами
