[code][h1] Kurzfazit: 👍👎 51% [/h1][/code] [code][h1]Man braucht kein Handy für Endless-Runner-Games 😁😉 Aber bocken die auch auf PC?[/h1][/code] https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3300768275 [code] [h3]Ein Game, dass sich dadurch rettet, dass es kostenlos ist[/h3] Damals waren das genau die Spiele, die man spielte! So Klassiker wie - Frogger - Space Invader - Snake - Street Racer Also eigentlich ja fast alle Games aus den Arcadehallen auf den Münzfressautomaten und auch viele Atari2600 Spiele basieren auf dem gleichen Grundprinzip: [h3]Weich rechts/links aus - lass Dich nicht treffen.[/h3] Mittlerweile gibt es solche Spiele wieder massig für Kids und Hausfrauen. Auf dem Handy. Endlessrunner. In den Raum rein und Hindernissen ausweichen. Aber reicht das Prinzip auch um an einen 1000,- bis 3000,- Euro PC zu fesseln? [/code] [h2] Eher nur für eine kleine Pause zwischendurch - der gute Sound und "Kostenlos spielbar" reissen es raus. [/h2] [code] Naja, mal ehrlich... Wer kennt das nicht? Du willst kurz was zocken, aber irgendwie alle Spiele brauchen Minimum eine Stunde um ein bischen zu bocken. Und was kann man da schon machen? [h3]Bei Assassins Creed Odyssey und Witcher 3 und Horizon (meine 3 Haupt-Open-World-Spiele) lauf ich in einer Stunde kurz durch die Botanik,[/h3] - denke hier mal: Oh Wow, die Lichteffekte - nehm dort mal ein Ästchen, Steinchen, Beerchen mit für das Crafting, - erwehr mich nebenbei meiner Haut - bin endlich am Questpunkt angekommen: MEEEP - Zeit vorbei. Den Kleinen im Real Life vom Fußball abholen. Los. Los. Da tuts mal gut, auch so kleine Games zu zocken. Mit einfachem Spielprinzip. Blos: Da gibt es auch schon so einige. Sieh mal in meinen Rezensionen! So mancher kurzweilige Titel buhlt da um meine Aufmerksamkeit (Und um die Deine) - Gravitas (echt cool! Portal Clone) - Sword & Sworcery (wie LOOM, schick) - Marathon Classic (wie DOOM, nice) - The Last Man Survivor (wie Vampire Survivor) - Vampire Survivor (MEGA!) - Dead or Alive 5 (auch kostenlos - irgendwie) - Hamstörm (kostenlos. Ein Wikinger Hamster!) - Space Pressure (kostenlos. schickes SHMUP) - Machinika Museum (Rätselgame) - Let Them Come (DAS IST ECHT GEIL!) - Halls of Torment (Vampire Survivor in Diablo 1 Optik) und hunderte mehr. Alle von mir für Dich getestet und für den kleinen Gaminghunger geeignet. [/code] https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3300768292 [code] Hier steuert man also eine Bohne [spoiler](eine ausgestopfte Socke?)[/spoiler] [spoiler](das lila Tentakel aus Maniac Mansion?)[/spoiler] auf einer Minigitarre [spoiler](einem komisch aussehendem Hoverboard?)[/spoiler] [spoiler](einer schwebenden Stimmgabel?)[/spoiler] nach links und recht und weicht Kugeln auf einer 3D-Strecke aus. Ab und zu haben wir einen Turbomove... Und wir können auch kurzzeitig mal die Zeit zurückdrehen. (Wie in vielen Racing Games aus den späten 2010ern) Um so mehr Kugeln wir nicht treffen, um so mehr Punkte. Aber auch um so coolere Farbspiele und Musikuntermalung. Das audiovisuelle Feedback ist prinzipiell cool - aber sieht trotzdem aus wie ein Game von 2004 😁 Fairerweise sei erwähnt, dass es schon von 2016 ist. Fast schon Retro 😉 Nimmt man zu viele Kugeln auf der Strecke mit, wird erst alles langsam trist und grau - und irgendwann ist dann das Spiel aus. 👍🏻Kurzübersicht:👍🏻 [code] - moderne Handygames sehen sogar besser aus ... sorry - kurzweiliges Spielprinzip - wird schnell langweilig - Highscorejäger und Achievementsjäger haben mehr Spaß (ich sehe teilweise 12 Stunden Spielzeit hier bei einigen) [/code] [/code] https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3300768398 [code] [h3]Grafik[/h3] 🔵🔵🔵🔵🔘🔘🔘🔘🔘🔘 [h3]Sound[/h3] 🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔘🔘🔘 [h3]Handling[/h3] 🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔘 [h3]Spielspaß[/h3] 🔵🔵🔵🔵🔘🔘🔘🔘🔘🔘 [table] [tr] [th][h3]Plattform[/h3][/th] [th][h3](sonstiges)[/h3][/th] [th][h3]Bewertung[/h3][/th] [/tr] [tr] [td]STEAM[/td] [td]Alle Bewertungen (301)[/td] [td]Ausgeglichen[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Metacritic[/td] [td]Test[/td] [td]gibt keinen Test :-)[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]1Danjl_Bot7[/td] [td]Test[/td] [td]51%[/td] [/tr] [/table] [/code] Fazit: [h1]Das einzige Studentenprojekt des Entwicklers - ein kostenloser Endlessrunner, der kurz bocken kann, aber wohl nicht länger als 30 Minuten :-) [/h1] _1Danjl_Bot7_ (⌐■_■)--︻╦╤─ - - - 👉🏻[url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/FieldysShorts] Shorts & Friends [/url] 👉🏻[url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/Die_Unbeschreiblichen/discussions/1/5242718027641358236/] Die Unbeschreiblichen mit Gästen [/url] [hr][/hr] 👑 Powered by HoI 4 Deu Curators group in German / English 👑⠀⠀⠀[list][*]👉🏻[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/30388691/] Follow Main group [/url][*] 👉🏻[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/40282064/] Follow Second group [/url][*] 👉🏻[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/44688798/] Follow third group [/url][/list] and discover more reviews from me

Vinyl - это динамичная инди-музыкальная игра, созданная аспирантами программы EAE Университета Юты, которая экспериментирует с эстетической дистанцией между игровым процессом и музыкой.

"Vinyl" a poorly made student project, basically a music themed endless runner with bad music, bad graphics and bad gameplay. I certainly hope this was the product from the course: "Things You Must Never Do In Game Development 101". Otherwise, the entire university gets an F. It's shallow, pointless, and bad even for a "free" game. Does it really benefit gamers if game dev students dump their work on Steam even when they failed the course? This is "free" enough, at least you won't be expected to spend any more money after you download this, but just because something is free doesn't mean it's good. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Not this time. This isn't worth downloading. While this doesn't cost me any money, I still feel ripped off.
for free overall alright.
Vinyl, Utah Üniversitesi EAE programındaki yüksek lisans öğrencileri tarafından oluşturulan, oyun ve müzik arasındaki estetik mesafeyi deneyen dinamik bir bağımsız müzik oyunudur.
A creative indie rhythm game where you play along with your own music, an interesting concept. The procedural levels and rewind mechanic are neat, but the visuals can feel like a psychedelic trip and the gameplay becomes repetitive quickly. The evil orbs are meant to represent the capitalist, corporate side of the music industry, while your character is an up-and-coming artist just trying to express his frustration.
Vinyl - it has a captivating premise that promises an immersive journey into the world of music, but it ultimately fails to deliver on its ambitious vision. The narrative, while intriguing at first, becomes convoluted and meandering, making it hard to stay engaged. Instead of building a coherent story, it feels like a series of disjointed moments that lack depth and emotional impact. The gameplay mechanics also leave much to be desired. Navigating the environment can feel clunky, and the controls often hinder rather than enhance the experience. What should be fluid interactions with the music and surroundings often devolve into frustration, pulling you out of the moment instead of drawing you in. Visually, Vinyl presents some striking imagery, but these moments are overshadowed by a lack of polish in the overall design. The aesthetic choices sometimes clash, creating a dissonance that distracts from the thematic focus on music. In a genre that thrives on creativity and emotional resonance, Vinyl unfortunately feels like a missed opportunity. With a clearer narrative and refined gameplay, it could have become a memorable experience. Instead, it leaves players yearning for more cohesion and engagement. That said, it is free to play and for what it gives you, I'd recommend it.
one of the absolute worst games i have ever played can barely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ see anything once you hit a certain multiplier and don't even get me started on the frame stutter every couple of seconds its borderline unplayable at times with the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stutter the person/people who made this must be on drugs because its not a good or ready for steam release product
nice
