Игра 'The Vaults of Minos' - великолепное сочетание головоломок, атмосферы и жутковатого повествования. Сюжет о затерянных сокровищах Миноса и проклятии лабиринта увлекает с первых минут, и ты чувствуешь себя настоящим археологом, рискующим головой ради знаний. Сами головоломки разнообразны и, хотя порой довольно сложные, всегда логичны и решаемы. Игра поощряет внимательность к деталям и умение анализировать окружение. Визуальное оформление выполнено в мрачных тонах, усиливая ощущение опасности и таинственности, а звуковое сопровождение отлично дополняет атмосферу. Несмотря на отсутствие прямого экшена, игра держит в напряжении благодаря ощущению надвигающейся угрозы. Единственный небольшой минус - иногда встречаются не самые очевидные подсказки, что может потребовать небольшого обращения к гайдам, но это не критично. В целом, 'The Vaults of Minos' - отличная игра для любителей головоломок и мрачных приключений. Рекомендую!

Searching for the term "platformer" on Steam gives you over 17,000 results... there's thousands and thousands of garbage tier platformers infesting Steam. "The Vaults of Minos" fits right into that category of retro 2D shovelware glutting the Steam store. Only a tiny number of those are any good, and this isn't one of them. This certainly has some of the worst graphics out of any platformer... it's a very basic 8 bit style platformer with pixelcrap and no content. I think more effort went into the backstory about some dude called Nimroder trying to wake the king up because apparently the king isn't a nice man, so we have to stop him. This means lots of badly done pixelcrap precision platforming, a couple of fights, but no real interest from gamers, this was a huge failure on Steam Direct. This is a tired, outdated experience from a tired, outdated and obsolete game genre. Just a couple of platformers out of literally thousands have any appeal for gamers lately (Super Meat Boy, Hollow Knight etc). This "me too" Steam Direct platformer in a crowded genre offers nothing new. It's "free", but [i]free[/i] doesn't mean [i]good.[/i] This is another case of Itch failing the one single job it has... to protect and preserve the gaming industry from badly made amateur games, by containing them to their group-hug website so they don't leak out to platforms like Steam where gamers look for professionally made, high quality products. Despite not being in Early Access, it's obvious this is an incomplete product. Developers have an obligation to deliver complete, not partially done products to gamers, that shouldn't be controversial. Whatever the excuses may be, it does no service to gamers for incomplete products polluting Steam like this. It makes it harder for gamers to find complete games, and it makes it harder for ethical developers who do the right thing to find their audience. The amateur pixelcrap visual presentation here at best could have been an attempt to use "retro" as a crutch, a weak excuse to avoid admitting the developer wasn't capable of doing the job of a game developer this decade and creating cutting edge, high quality 3D visuals. While a lack of skill or funding is the explanation for this failure, it's no excuse. The end result of this incompetence is a game that looks dramatically inferior to professionally developed games. Terraria and Undertale succeeded [i]despite[/i] looking crap, not [i]because[/i] they look crap. Let's look at the price and what kind of value this actually offers gamers. There's no initial download price, but the developer was charging $4 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. Despite having no up-front cost, this failed to appeal to the 130 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB shows this 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. Since free games don't contribute to your game collector badge and other profile stuff, is this a worthwhile addition to your Steam library? This is a "nope". While it won't necessarily cost you money, the time and hard drive space it requires could be better invested in one of the many higher quality alternatives on Steam.
