Water Planet

Ca. eineinhalbstündiger Walking Simulator. Es werden bei mir zwei Stunden Spielzeit angezeigt, weil ich noch einmal von vorne anfangen mußte. Und das ist auch schon der erste Kritikpunkt: Man kann nicht selber speichern. Es soll Speicherpunkte geben, die ich aber im Spiel nicht als solche erkannt habe. Man "erkundet" (bzw. läuft schnurstracks durch...) eine rundum blaue Welt, die nicht besonders abwechslungsreich gestaltet ist (Grafik sehr einfach gehalten). Verlaufen kann man sich nicht, denn das Ziel wird immer als Leuchtkugel in der Ferne markiert und es gibt überall sichtbare und unsichtbare Wände um einen herum (linear). Rätsel gibt es auch keine zu lösen, man drückt nur auf Knöpfe. Was aber auch nicht schlecht ist, denn ich mag Rätsel nicht so. Das schlimmste ist m.E. ein Spiel, wo man nicht weiterkommt, weil man nicht weiß was man als nächstes tun soll und einen Guide zu Hilfe nehmen muß. Eine "Geschichte" wurde leider nicht wirklich erzählt, man erfährt nur das Nötigste. Die Musik war etwas aufdringlich. Positiv zu erwähnen sind die ingame Screenshot- Funktion und die Errungenschaften. Fazit: Das Spiel hat man in unter zwei Stunden durch und es bietet einem grafisch und inhaltlich nicht besonders viel. Ich würde eher eine neutrale Bewertung vergeben, wenn dies möglich wäre. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2185563357

NOTE: A VR Headset is "NOT" required to play the game, i played from my desktop. I love most any game that is water/music based, Survival or Discovery. this is my soft spot Now Water Planet falls in between these two category's but leans towards the latter category of Discovery & Exploration. The aesthetics of the game are very pleasing, and for me the atmosphere was most relaxing. Water Planet is something i would play to unwind after a day at work. The presentation and the way this game makes you feel is certainly unique. The soundtrack is incredible with VIRGO absolutely nailing the music score with her Atmospheric approach to it. <3 PRO'S Such a feel good experience Incredible Soundtrack Very Immersive An engineer is not required to play the game Very well optimized with little to no demand on my pc hardware A cute story line "no spoilers" Cons: As much as the game was made for one sitting a save feature still would have been a nice touch. My Final thoughts for now.... Well i have already gifted Water Planet to one friend and intend on surprising another friend appreciative of a unique game style like this. :) I will play Water planet again and dawdle like i did the 1st time around and also to collect the rest of the achievements i missed, also listening to VIRGO's tracks again will always put me in a good state of mind.

I have to express a little surprise about the price point chosen for this game. For a $20 walking (and swimming!) simulator, I expected something at least close to AAA product, when what you're actually getting is a pretty short indie game (developed, unless I'm mistaken, with the Unreal 4 engine). That said, it's a [i]well-made[/i] indie game, albeit with its fair share of avoidable flaws. First up, I'm not a huge fan of walking without footstep sound effects (just feels like you're floating, especially without headbob), although the other sound effects are certainly more than adequate. The voice acting is also slightly variable: both voices on offer are intentionally robotic, yet the first one you'll hear is unnecessarily devoid of anything remotely approximating charisma...while the second one, a character named Aqua, was comparably spot-on, and even a teeny bit heart-tugging at one point. While we're on the subject of sound, there's another thing I should mention, that may be a turn-off for some. There's a handful of girly synth-pop songs that dominate the soundtrack from time to time, regrettably cranked almost twice as loud as anything else in the game! Now...should you be averse to this type of music, this may be a bit of a deal-breaker for you. Personally, as a fan of quality electronic music, I ended up digging these songs very much; but it [i]is[/i] a slightly risky decision on the behalf of the devs. At the very least, they need to TURN THESE SONGS DOWN SLIGHTLY, for the sake of our headphones and eardrums if nothing else! Another frequently cited "problem" with walking sims is the movement speed. While this game's [i]walking[/i] speed is pretty spot-on, the swimming speed is another matter altogether. The urge to explore - a key factor in walking sims - may be slightly curtailed for some by the frankly sluggish swimming speed (though the sheer abundance of Achievements may persuade some otherwise). Suffice it to say, seekers of slow-moving serenity should be well-pleased. The game's biggest flaw, in any case, is its save system; or rather, complete lack thereof. This non-existent feature is barely forgivable in a game that well-and-truly exceeds an hour in length, and even more so when I managed to encounter a game-breaking bug about a third of the way through, forcing me to start over from scratch. A very UNimpressive moment in an otherwise fairly impressive experience (many of the visuals, in particular, are rather jaw-dropping; even if the story itself is ultimately underwhelming). Unhesitatingly recommended to walking sim fans, and indeed any gamers fascinated by all things watery...yet I can't stress enough to wait for a sale. Unless you have a wallet fit to burst your pants - or you're an idiotic reviewing type, like Yours Truly - this simply isn't worth the price currently being asked. For ten dollars or less, however, I wouldn't hesitate to nab it if it sounds like something you will enjoy. (Perhaps doubly so, if you happen to have one o' them VR thingamabobs. Me: I might be comfortable enough to splurge on slightly overpriced indie games, but I'm a ways off affording one o' [i]them[/i] contraptions just yet...) Verdict: 8/10.

Voilà un jeu à l'ambiance unique, avec un environnement qui l'est tout autant, et qui s'affiche tout en nuances de bleu, ou presque. Un voyage accompagné d'une bande son qui nous transporte tout au long de notre parcours, sous la forme d'un simulateur de marche, dans un monde d'eau et de glace empreint de mystère. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1756976857 J'ai profité d'environ 2 à 3 heures d'exploration sur cette planète bleue, que ce soit dans l'eau ou à sa surface. C'est un réel dépaysement. Il y a peu d'interactions, il s'agit surtout d'une expérience narrative. On se laisse porter par la découverte de ce monde et la musique qui suit le fil de l'histoire. D'ailleurs, il est possible de télécharger l'OST du jeu. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1756977841 [i]Water Planet[/i] se présente comme un voyage qui se fait en une fois, tout comme l'on regarderait un film d'une traite. Il n'y a donc pas de sauvegarde. Je dirais que c'est le seul bémol à émettre, j'ai d'ailleurs laissé le jeu ouvert pour faire une pause. Toutefois, une fois terminé, je me suis rendue compte que l'on pouvait accéder à différentes parties du jeu, comme une sorte de chapitrage, 4 points d'entrée, numérotés 1 à 4, sont disponibles, en dehors de l'entrée principale qui mène au début du jeu. Une bonne chose, notamment pour tenter de terminer les succès manquants. [b][i]Water Planet[/i] est une expérience singulière, un voyage court mais agréable, à tenter si cette planète bleue vous attire.[/b] https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1756977291 [quote=] [h1][url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/41126012/] Cliquez ici pour découvrir plus d'évaluations [/url][/h1] [b]N'hésitez pas à cliquer sur "suivre" si vous appréciez le contenu de ma page de curation.

я сначала думал что это замена subnautica . но к сожалению игра всего лишь технодемка с хитрыми ачивками

Понравился этот водный мир и понравилась Элизабет. Желаю ей всего хорошего и желаю ей новых творений. :) I liked this water world and liked Elizabeth. I wish her all the best and wish her new creations. :) 7 медуз из 10.

The developer says you can complete the game in one sitting, that is why they don't have a save system. For me that doesn't work. The start of the game looked good, but I logged off to see if the first achievement I unlocked in the game would unlock on steam, that didn't work. Then i found out that there is no save file. No idea why the achievement didn't unlock on steam, but that there is no save file really sucks.

good game

It's not terrible. I mean there is some stuff to enjoy here but it wasn't enough for me to recommend this. This game is about an hour long, the graphics and the voice over are quite bad, the story is almost non existent. The game itself is a walking simulator where you are really just walking around, (sometimes diving), pressing buttons and listening to dialogue or music. Speaking of the music: this part is easily the best of the game. It is made by VIRGO. I didn't know this artist before, but yeah it's pretty good. And sometimes the "alien" environment is nice to look at even though the graphics aren't great like I said. So overall, it's a rather mediocre game which costs 20 bucks which is just way too much for this game. I got it for 5 bucks and even that is really the maxium I would pay for this game.

I'm from Tampa and there is something about this exhibit that reminds me of the architecture of Florida in the 90s. Not sure if it was the brutalist structures and pyramidal arches synthesized on a beach but it evoked a strange nostalgia. The space ship was entirely Miami Bauhaus in design and tripped me out imagining if Bauhaus did somehow manage to survive the 21st century. The trance tracks and reprisals were accompanied by some haunting vocals. This, along with the above, made me wonder if the overall idea was to reflect on the benefits of being alone with brief interruptions of that on a factor of lifetimes. If you are into art and music, or want to evoke some 90s Floridian nostalgia, I recommend Water Planet.
