Welcome to Emba

Игра "Welcome to Emba" – приятное и расслабляющее времяпрепровождение, особенно если вы любите головоломки и строительство. Механика построения города проста, но увлекательна: выбираешь номер дома, бросаешь кубики и, надеясь на удачу, заполняешь карточку. Каждый бросок и решение имеет значение, ведь от этого зависит ваш конечный результат. Визуальный стиль очень милый и располагающий, а простые правила позволяют быстро разобраться в процессе. Правда, со временем игра может показаться немного однообразной, особенно если вам хочется более глубокой стратегии. Тем не менее, это отличный выбор для того, чтобы скоротать время в одиночку или с компанией друзей. Реиграбельность присутствует за счет случайных результатов бросков и стремления побить свой предыдущий рекорд. Рекомендую для любителей несложных, но затягивающих настольных игр.

"Welcome to Emba" is a very poorly made linear narrative driven 3D "adventure" game where you're basically in a fixed camera tunnel and you move along to expose the (badly written) storyline. Ho hum. The graphics aren't great. That's understandably be turn off for a lot of gamers, and it's a big contributor to the failure of the game to attract gamers despite having no up-front cost. Gaming is a primarily visual medium, and if developers want to succeed, they must understand that it's not an area for compromise. You deserve better than compromises. On the matter of pricing and value for gamers, most "free" games on Steam aren't really free. There's often nasty mobile app cash shops, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, or 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. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 5 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.
