  • A Cool, Sublime, Beautiful work of art, Puzzle Adventure for Casual Players

    I was about to report you for sockpupetting before I saw you have just copy/pasted this from the official description lol

    Game graphics look so muddy but at the same time they look kinda interesting.
    I guess this is just slightly better than the 'my first game' crap that has been flooding the non-weekly EGS specials.

    Will actually claim this one.

  • How does this have 100 upvotes but basically no comments? Game looks janky AF

    • Free steam/epic games do this all the time?

    • I didn't realise comments and upvotes were linked? Also an invalid neg for a free game you've never played.

      • There are some "interesting" personality types on OZB - those against: free junk games; religion; Israel… At least these ones just give the minimum comment required, they're by preferred type of wierdo.

        • Tbf there is a difference between just not very good games and literal ai shovelware

      • It's interesting I'm being blindly downvoted for maintaining the sanctity of the voting rules. Assuming the game is "janky" and not liking how many upvotes the deal has are not valid reasons for a neg. I in no way disagree with the comment. But sure - ignore the rules

        • I wouldn't worry about it, there seems to be a bunch of people who have so much free time that they go around downvoting game simply because it doesn't look up to their standard.

          • @AaronRain: If the standard is "reasonably likely to provide genuine entertainment" and the voter believes the game will not meet that standard under normal conditions, that might qualify as "issue with product". Free shovelware is a bit of a grey area, and that's what most of the non-Epic Epic freebies have been. This one claims to have been made without AI so it's at least got that going for it and it may be a cut above some of the other freebies, but it still has no reviews and doesn't even have a gameplay video on the store page.

            • @MHLoppy: "genuine entertainment" is a subjective term, there are plenty of B grade things like movies that the majority of people don't enjoy but that people find niche in, or even become a cult classic a decade down the line (i.e The Room (2003)) unless you can prove the game is completely broken and unplayable for a majority of people (because hardware/software difference exist).

              • @AaronRain: Basically everything is subjective when it comes down to it. A store having acceptable / unacceptable customer service is subjective. Delivery times being too slow is subjective. Trampoline "doesn't bounce well enough" is subjective so long as it has some bounce. A cleaning agent "not cleaning well enough" is subjective so long as it does clean better than not using it at all.

                If you make the bar low enough there will be somebody willing to accept a low quality trampoline that barely bounces, delivered with a 3 month delay, from a store that ghosts you as soon as you try to contact them. There are ~15K free games on Steam marked as Free to Play with English language support and some of them are actually pretty good.

                Unlike most physical products, a large cost of media is mostly non-monetary (you have to spend your time). It's not like a cake where you can take one bit and know whether you want to eat more, or a hat where you know pretty quickly if it has the fit and style you're after (though if the game has a technical issue or is really bad then maybe one minute is enough). That means that even if it's free, the quality of the media matters a lot more to the overall (monetary + non-monetary) cost of consumption. Life is short and time is valuable. Free should not be the bar we strive for when deciding if a game is a bargain or not, particularly given the monumental amount of better-quality games that either are either always free or will be made free during promotions.

                In a desert where all games cost $100, a drop of free game-with-no-reviews-and-no-gameplay-video might be a good deal. We have the opposite right now, where there are so many games already available for free that even if filtering only for "well-rated" games (by an arbitrary metric like >=70% positive steam reviews or >=65 opencritic score), a person spending $0 still can't keep up with playing all of the games on a full time basis faster than they're made free.

                And hey if a person wants to sift through to find diamonds in the rough - that's fine! I do that now and then with the huge Itch bundles. But let's not kid ourselves saying that all of the "unknown" free games posted in the past few months have been deserving the >100 votes they get; most of them are far worse quality and far less likely to be enjoyable than the already permanently-free games which you're (the hypothetical person voting on the deal) already not playing.
