[url=http://store.steampowered.com/curator/32482033/]Crim's Humble Opinion Curator[/url] [b]WAyE[/b] is a survival simulation game about a fisherman at sea. The idea has merit and the execution is almost there. There are plenty of areas where this title is rough around the edges that prevent it from being a hidden gem among the vast sea of survival games. Perhaps during a sale you could throw this in your cart. You aren't really given any sort of tutorial. You can pick up on everything eventually by playing around. You pack your bag; head out to the boat and begin your journey. On the boat you find there are several things to interact with. The interaction as you might have already found out is not done by clicking on things; but by highlighting them and scrolling and than clicking. This is a bit of a interface issue. You can fish, listen to you radio, take medicine, set your navigation course, craft and a few other things. There are some thing that take up your entire day; and some things that don't take up any time. There isn't indication from some things being done such as catching a stick while fishing which can be used to craft things. Map navigation is also a bit confusing since I couldn't figure out my way back to the original island before I ran out of gas. It would work much better as a tile based system. The translation isn't the worst. It's spotty here and there; but it is still understandable. If you know the language you can get by enough. The visuals are decent enough as well as the music. There are some sound balancing issues. The shark for instance was much louder than the music. There are some cool events that can happen but after playing three or four times they do feel rather limited. Platforming in some sections is rather difficult without falling into the ocean and getting the drowning quick time event game. The achievements are mostly either score, survival, or event based. The score achievements are the only ones I have issues with since they don't stack. With no indication while you are playing of what your score is; getting in a particular range is difficult. For instance hitting 55 without hitting 75. [h1]Pros[/h1] +Good idea with nice potential +Didn't experience any game crashing issues [h1]Mix?/Con[/h1] ~/- No tutorial and particular indicators ~/- UI issues ~/- Minimal translation issues ~/- Sound balancing issues ~/- Non stacking score achievements Usually if a game is so mixed for me I will post it as an on the fence positive. It's rare that I would post an on the fence negative. This is one of those rare cases. I can honestly say I might recommend this game during a good sale to play around with; however with the polishing it needs I can not recommend going into a full price purchase.

The chromatic abberation and depth of field are giving my eyes cancer. Looks like a very rushed game, should be early access. Simulator where you have to survive at sea and I have no idea what you are doing there in the first place. At the current state I can't recommend it. Needs to be worked on. The controls are awful as well, I feel like I'm controlling a robot from the old black and white movies. If the game gets good updates I might change the review.

And I took just some things with me because I was going to first little attempt. But it turned out that you must take as much things as you can with you because it's a survival with a limited holdings. Like, you now, "60 seconds". Just from the first point perspective, not so interesting and more arcade. When you sail on your boat there's no more things to do. You can fish but it has nothing common with a simulators. You just taking the action, time is changing into evening and you're getting fish or sticks or ropes randomly. You can also get a fish with a bow. (WHAT?) To get a fish you need to hit them with an arrow and it automatically appears on your boat. There some random events could happen around you. I met a whale and one time stumbled into an old broken vessel. It was hard to get into it because game has unstable and unrealistic physics model. My hero just always felt down from a boxes. And when you get into the water there's another arcade mini-game. You need to quickly press showed buttons. And if you succeed you will appear on your boat. When I finally got into the vessel there was two locked doors and two keys. I opened them both. In one door there was a chest but it had no "open" action. In the other was another chest that I could open but food that was there didn't want to get in my hands. So I left the vessel with only broken bottles and some medicine that I found on the board. Finally it was a fifth day. I fished as always. But when I wanted to sleep, the button just didn't work. I tried to save the game and enter again. There was only inscription "You are dying" and heart beating. I tried to press all the buttons but nothing worked and it bored me. Finally I close the game. I can tell you just some more things about crafting in WAyE. It's simplifed. As I said before you're getting sticks and ropes from fishing. And you can use them in crafting some useful things. Every thing that can be crafted located on different pages so that's kinda uncomfortable. And one more thing that some people can consider as uncomfortable. In all menus there's no mouse cursor and you need to use you mouse buttons and scroll in order to handle with it. It was slightly unusual but okay for me. [list] [*]Gameplay: 4 [*]Graphics: 5 [*]Sound and Music: 5 [*]Interface and Control: 4 [*]Novelty: 6 [*]Rating: [b]5[/b] [/list] [code]Verdict. This game is broken and unfinished now. It should be an Early Access with a lot of things to end. In this moment there's nothing more than a nice idea.[/code]
WAyE гра в жанрі виживання на плоту. Перше з чим я зіткнувся це незвичайне управління, лише з третього запуску до мене дійшло як керувати в цій грі. І це є головним недоліком в грі, бо підвищує поріг входження в гру. Гра не є пісочницею, як це типово для ігор подібного жанру, і має сюжет. Ми беремо спорядження і пливемо в море на риболовлю проте глохне двигун і починається повноцінна гра, на жаль грі немає навчання що теж не сприяє комфортній грі.Розробник постарався в геймплеї, на початку гри ми можемо вибрати що взяти з собою в плавання, та і саме виживання цікаве, ловля риби та її готування, вичерпування води і все таке. В грі не повноцінна Англійська локалізація через що частина слів написана Польською. Графічно гра виконана невдало, і текстури начебто нормальні і різні меню непогано зроблені але гра страждає низькобюджетним програмуванням одною людиною через що графіка ріже очі. 4 човни із 10
Powiem tak. Gra jest jak najbardziej ok. Jak jest w promocji to warto kupić. Sterowanie jest trochę toporne, ale grywalne. Myślę, że mogę tą grę polecić.
[h1]Introduction[/h1] WAyE is a fishing simulation where you take part of a fisherman, sailing out for fishing while being able to survive and potentially find anything new to your search. Is it fun? No WAyE. Sorry for the pun, but let me explain below: [h1]Gameplay[/h1] As mentioned before you play as an unnamed fisherman (presumably yourself), grabbing your needed equipment before sailing to do some fishin’. You set the bait, get some fish, cook it (or eat it straight raw) and repeat. Occasionally, you’ll find a note from a survivor or find and break some ice to get some treasure WHICH WILL END UP YOU NEARLY DROWNING!! *sighs* to be fairly honest, the concept is really interesting but it’s so boring! There isn’t anything exciting from what I experienced and it’s quite…meh… Compared to the developer’s previous game, [url=https://steamcommunity.com/id/VMillionAsh/recommended/763210/]Amelon[/url], translation is way better and the graphics are a step up from the previous game. However, the performance, at least for me, is quite questionable. Feels somewhat sluggish for me. Oh, by the way, there’s no tutorial except for the controls (which I’ll get a bit more into it soon) and some tips in the main “lobby”. I say lobby because…well….uh… it’s also where you pack your equipment and any other stuff. And to add previously, with no actual tutorial, it makes me feel loss. Am I supposed to do anything else other than survival?? Oh yeah, controls. The usual for a first person game. WASD for movement, Shift for sprinting etc. But the one thing that’s making me mad is this: You wanna know how to click and scroll through the menus and interactions? Do you press keys? *laughs* no, you don’t. You wanna guess? Here’s this: through the mouse. BY ONLY USING THE MOUSE WHEEL AND THE LEFT AND RIGHT CLICK BUTTONS!! Oh, guess what, you can’t change that type of interaction of the interface. Sure, you might change the sensitivity of the mouse, but that doesn’t change a thing in my eyes. Also, there’s this weird button called “Zapisz”(?) on the menu when you hit the escape button on the keyboard. Anywhom, the gameplay and controls are plainly bad. Not horrible, just plainly bad. [h1]Visuals[/h1] Graphics are good for the Unity engine. Not the best, but yea. However, as I mentioned before, the performance is questionable, mainly with its framerate. It’s not ideal…meh… [h1]Music[/h1] It’s alright?? It wasn’t really memorable in my opinion and there’s really not much to say. So…yea… [h1]Conclusion[/h1] WAye is pretty boring and somewhat plain. It doesn’t even help with the bad controls and somewhat mediocre performance, at least for me. The price point, doesn’t seem worth it in my eyes. However, upon looking up some reviews for the game, I actually found that some curators and reviewers overseas, really like the game! So, if you wanna go and give this one a shot, go for it, however I would only suggest when this gets a discount! I wouldn’t recommend the game at full price due to its flaws. [h1]Shoutout[/h1] Special thanks to Pjural for sending us the game to review! I was somewhat interested in the concept of the game but it didn’t really appeal to me… Don’t feel discouraged though! It’s a big step from your previous game, Amelon! We hope to see more from you soon! [h1]Pros[/h1] +Nice visuals (I guess…) +nice concept (I guess…) [h1]Cons[/h1] -Questionable performance -Questionable controls (especially for the menus, interface and swimming) -Plain gameplay -No tutorial whatsoever [h1]Rating[/h1] 3/10 Signed by 𝓐𝓈𝒽 𝓥𝑒𝓇𝓂𝒿𝓁𝓁𝒾𝑜𝓃 of the [url=http://steamcommunity.com/groups/HiddenAnimeGroup]ᴀɴιᴍᴇ Steam Community Group[/url] [quote]Follow the [url= https://store.steampowered.com/curator/25441181-%E1%B4%80%C9%B4%CE%B9%E1%B4%8D%E1%B4%87/] ᴀɴιᴍᴇ Curator Page [/url] for more Steam game reviews like this one![/quote]
The gameplay of this game was pretty interesting, there is a lot of events that happen randomly so you can never expect what will happen tomorrow. When it comes to surviving there are many things that can end your journey early. You have to be quick and do everything strategically in order to survive. All in all, I recommend this game, it's fun to try, especially that it is on sale right now.
I bought this game for decently cheap in the Autumn sale because I thuroughly enjoyed the premise of the game. I've always wanted a game of this style, the whole survival at sea, but not many games I've seen have done it the way I specifically wanted, and this game is the closest I've seen yet. It may be a little buggy, and suffers from some common new developer issues, but I see great potential in this game. I would love to see it be frequently updated to a point of genuine game-age. 4/5, minus the single point for general clunkiness, plus the four for the premise and general execution. Well done.
Un gran juego que muestra bastante potencial a la hora de originalidad. Espero que pronto este en español para poder disfrutarlo mas en profundidad. Tambien espero que no dejen de trabajar en el, porque al parecer tiene una "historia" algo... rara... No dire mas. No quiero hacer spoilers. Estoy ansioso de ver el producto final. ;)
Twice I packed the stuff and got lost at sea... Twice I had over half in both hunger and thirst when my character suddenly decided to die after 10 days. This game lacks tutorial or some sort of explanation to inform the players how to play or even how they died.
