Toran

Truly short, when it comes to puzzle game, there must be light reflection. Manipulating the sphere just puts me directly in some scientific film.

I LOVE this game. It's extremely short, but that's the only negative thing I can say about it. I would absolutely be willing to pay for a longer version of this. Immersive environment with some interactive puzzles.

"Toran" is not a full game, it's just a VR tech demo... this is shorter than most student projects on Steam. It seems the developer had intended to make this into a full product and sell it, but then couldn't be bothered. It's unclear why this was published at all. What do you do in the game? This VR tech demo has you wave your arms around in VR to do some little shape puzzles and things, but it's incredibly short, being a demo rather than a full game. Even so, the controls are awkward, it's riddled with bugs, it's badly optimised... it's just not fun. The game is quite short, and can be run through in just 15 minutes. The lack of content here makes it hard to suggest it's worth spending the time to add to your library and download. 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 graphics in this game are really quite good, which at least makes the game look more appealing. And while it's vital for any game to have impressive visuals (gaming is a visual medium, after all), there's more to a game than just the graphics. To be worth a gamers time, the game must match top tier visuals with top tier gameplay, and that's not happening here. It's VR exclusive, and that shows the developer failed to understand the most basic axiom of VR game design... if the only cool thing about your product is VR support, your product is not cool. 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. Most "free" games on Steam aren't really free. There's usually some kind of monetisation, from nasty mobile app cash shops, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, to any other number of shady pricing schemes that could mislead gamers, but in this case I'm glad to say this really does appear to be a fully free game. Nothing demonstrates a developers belief in themselves and their work than giving it away without any remuneration. This is a service to themselves, and the gaming industry, and should be applauded. Of course, just because something is free, doesn't necessarily mean it's valuable, or something you might want to spend your time on. 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 12 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? Pass on this one. There's no immediate financial commitment, but there are thousands of more compelling games on the platform that will give you a lot more enjoyment for your time.

This should be developed much further. It's great but far too short! I could play this for hours if it kept going.

бредятина, геймплей по типу: тест какой ты хлебушек, не понимаю чему все восхищаются...

Игра "Toran" — это атмосферный симулятор жизни с элементами приключений. Графика минималистичная, но стильная, а звуковая дорожка создаёт погружающую атмосферу. Геймплей вращается вокруг управления персонажем, выполнения заданий и взаимодействия с миром. Хотя сюжет не выделяется глубиной, игра предлагает множество мелких деталей, которые делают процесс интересным. Однако отсутствие сложных механик и повторяющиеся квесты могут наскучить. Для любителей спокойного темпа и исследований — достойный выбор.
