The Test of Insanity

[h1]Описание:[/h1] Треш квиз с интересными загадками... Был бы палец вверх если бы загадки выдавались рандомно или не надо было тыкать уже пройденное по кругу... А так надо тупо запоминать все ответы когда не знаешь как решить и начинать заново и заново... А ошибиться легко т.к. многие загадки на таймере, либо нелогичном решении... Не рекомендую, но хочу больше подобного...

"The Test of Insanity" is a laughably overpriced "puzzle"/quiz game where you solve some brain teasers and little minigames. The whole thing looks like a browser/mobile game. The puzzles are mildly amusing, essentially they challenge conventions, for example [spoiler]in one of the puzzles, you're presented with a maths question and given three answers and a "I can't see it", but the answer is not one of the provided answers, but instead clicking on one of the numbers in the equation... sigh[/spoiler]. While I suppose that could be seen as clever, I see it as annoying. Also, this really barely counts as a PC game at all because of the simplistic, lazy 2D implementation. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. For gameplay purposes, because the user interface for this game is mostly just 2D static text/images... it might as well be a web page. It's functionally no different from a browser game. And we all know, Steam isn't here to compete with Chrome and Firefox. If the game can be done in a web browser, it's just not rich or compelling enough to appeal to serious gamers on PC. The artwork itself is mediocre MS-Paint stuff, the visual presentation here is negligible, it might as well be a slideshow or a Youtube video. Pac-Man, Space Invaders and Asteroids had more advanced animation and visuals going on than this game does. There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks. There's no way to ensure this is running at the native resolution of your display. There's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. The poor quality of this game is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 2 players. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 110,000 games for gamers to choose from, the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected. So, should you buy this game? Is this one of the best of the 110,000+ games on Steam? "The Test of Insanity" has the far too high price of around $9 USD, it's not worth it given the defects and shortcomings with the product, especially considering the sheer number of completely free, much higher quality games on Steam. For comparison, the $9 asking price for this game could get you games like "Assassin's Creed: Odyssey", "Grand Theft Auto V" or "Cities: Skylines". Quality, professionally made games like those are frequently on sale cheaper than this. [quote][b][url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/marketing/profile]Profile Features Limited![/url][/b] Valve have marked this game as "Profile Features Limited" at the time of this review. This is usually caused by poor sales figures and low community acceptance for the game (to date). Until this status changes, this game will not give you +1 to your Game Collector badge count, appear in profile achievements or any other Steam meta-accomplishments, nor can it be displayed in some profile showcases. If these factors are important to you, it may be worth holding off before buying this game.[/quote]
