"Volcanewt" is more of a tech demo than a real game. As the store page blurb says, you control a newt/salamander thing and trash a low poly city made up of really bad low poly assets. More of a sandbox than a game, and not much of a sandbox either. This features fairly low quality low poly 3D visuals which will deter a lot of gamers, understandably. Gaming is a visual medium, and it's clear the developers behind this didn't understand that. Insultingly, the developer insists that you should play this with a console peasant children's toy gamepad instead of KB+M. Developers should try to be aware which platform they're designing games for. It's the responsibility of the developer to ensure the game runs well on the platform they're selling it on, with the primary peripherals that PC gamers use. Not every "free" game really is. There's often MTX, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, or any other number of things 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. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 2 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. 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 won't cost you any money, you get what you pay for, and sometimes, even when the game is free, it's still not enough.

Newt go brrrr
Volcanewt, amacın yok etmek olduğu bir aksiyon şehri yıkım oyunudur. Şehri yok edin, WWDF'yi ve onların yarattıklarını yenin .
Truly a one of a kind emotional roller-coaster. The symbolism between Volcanewt and the quest to take back your lava from the evil WWDF was so intricate and deep. The final battle (no spoilers) and its reflection of facing the dark parts of yourself the evil world around us tries to create leads to emotional story telling that needs to dialogue to convey. A seemingly simple game that hides themes that can leave even the most experienced gamer sympathizing with Volcanewt and leave them in tears.

Stomping around as a kaiju is almost always fun, and even tho this has some issues, I still had a nice time. Your Newt has several city smashing abilities, like a dash, lavabreath, and a drop roll. Eat people to heal, and do enough damage to the city to progress. The difficulty is pretty low, as I didn't even drop below 75% health till the last level, unfortunately the biggest challenge is the physics. You get stuck on....everything...frequently, sometimes floating in midair over seemingly nothing...you can wiggle out of this, but it is annoying how much it happens. Some hitboxes on buildings are also weird. Another smaller issue is the optional score quests, as you have a limited time to get to an objective and destroy it...but it can be too limited, sometimes giving mere seconds to get several blocks over and trash a tower...you don't need to do these to progress, but it's also annoying. The game has 4 levels. Having accidentally skipped the albatross boss, I won in about 40min. If wonky physics make you pull your hair out, you might not have a good time, but I got to wreck hawaii as a cute giant slimy dude, so I'm happy!
This is a great concept and i love the idea and it was kinda fun smashing buildings. However the dodgy mechanics just ruined the game for me, i kept getting stuck and objects and the controls felt a little unresponsive. If the mechanics were tightened up i could definitely re review the game but for now i can't recommend it.
esta tan mal optimizado que es injugable 1/10w
