*Great* game, bummer it's abandonware :/

Negative review only for the price. I don't think it's worth more than $10, full price, and even then I'd probably wait for it to be on sale for $7-8.

It's short but not bad. Does some things really well, does other things really poorly. The mechanics are cool, but shallow, and somewhat tedious and unrewarding to interact with. The story is basic, predictable, and uninteresting. There are only two or three "puzzles" in the game, if you can even call them that, and they're so simple you would be able to figure them out at a glance - IF the answer wasn't plainly written out on the wall next to it, or outright told to you in a tooltip when you walk into the area. Walking is *really* slow, and with the nature of this game, I expected to unlock a b-hopping mechanic or something, but no.

One really nice touch though is that the music will fade out to silence if you stand still for more than a short time, and then fade back in gracefully when you start moving. Excluding my time blissfully spacing out, I got ~90% completion with no extra sleuthing in about 3-4 hours.

This game isn't a bad time, by any means. One of those "I'd rate it neutral if I could" types of games. If it were a one-man-dev's school project, it would be extremely promising, but it was made by big people with big resumes, so...

Painfully simple, to the point I hesitate to even call it a "puzzle" game. A visually interesting linear walking sim, at very best.

Even that though, the Escher-esque design only goes so far when everything is the same color and there is no cohesion between... anything.

Every stage is a hallway. The fact that you have to change gravity to walk on the wall for some of it doesn't change the fact that all there is to do is to go from one end to the other.

Just watch the trailers and move on. The wonder you feel about how cool the game is shown to look is way better than the feeling of actually having to slog through the game.


Also, it only takes about 3 hours to walk through it all, unless you want to scour every single identical corner of the game for collectibles. If you still feel the need to try it yourself, wait for a sale.

Exceedingly brilliant.

There will never be another game like Outer Wilds.

Honestly, I tried really hard to like this game. BL3 is beautiful, of course, the gameplay is solid, and though it's rife with visual and audio bugs, none of them are especially gamebreaking. But... it just isn't good. I couldn't really tell you what the problem is. Everyone knows the writing is bad, but it's not like... terrible? It's just not fun. It's like the pre-sequel was. There isn't anything in particular to point at to explain why it feels so wrong. Every time I see it in my library I'm like "Oh, yeah, I have to go play that." But do I? I really don't want to. It just isn't fun.

Solid with the boys

Quack?

Unfortunately impossible to play with your friends. Back in the day with Battlefiend 1942 and BF2, you could just click one button and anyone could automatically join via LAN, or you could do a little more work and make it open to the internet.

Not here. You have to go through some unnecessary steps to make the server browser even work, and then you can join random servers and hope it goes well, or you can pay real money to rent your own server. The internet has some options to create a server with some modded files, but it only works for people with CD keys, not the steam version. Absolutely avoid at all costs.

Sadly refunding this game.

One of the best and cleverest games I've ever played, and with an incredible style to boot.

In Voxelized, you play as a 6'1" man trapped in a town where government mandates ceilings can be set at a maximum of 6' high. The shorter townspeople are terrified of your height advantage. They lock themselves inside and cower. This is the story of how you, a Tall Knight, patiently wander outside, waiting for your opportunity to strike.



Hilariously awful. I don't know when i aquired this game, I just noticed it in my inventory. Hopefully it was free. Even if it was, I want my money back.

I read the other reviews as it was installing, which took about 30 seconds. I believed them, but I had to see for myself.

There is indeed nothing in this game. You play as a knight in armor, who other than hunching over slightly as he breathes, is just a T-Posed character in a generic medieval looking town that seems just a little bit too small considering the size of the player, who scrapes his head on every ceiling you walk up to, if he can fit under them at all.

There is a 40 foot wall with no doors or indows surrounding the town, filled with one house model copied and pasted all over. To add some variety, there is another single copied model of a stone staircase wth a doorframe that the character can't fit through randomly placed throughout the town. The staircase doesnt lead anywhere, and even if it did, you couldnt go there anyway because the stairs are all half clipped into buildings so that you get blocked halfway up.

There is no audio. There are no NPCs. There is nothing to do but run and jump, and you can hardly even jump onto anything. All in all, it puts a hilarious new meaning to the term "walking simulator."
