A Rat's Quest - The Way Back Home | Season 1

ОООООчень дешевая индюшка. Играем за пасюка, ползаем, прыгаем, под конец игры дают посражаться слегонца. Все довольно топорно, но играбельно. Графика терпимая. Русского нет, русификатор не актуален и ломает игру, следовательно сюжет я не смог выкупить. Все сделано на коленке, но попытку засчитаем. Ругать игру не за что, просто инди. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3772787094 Забавно что за 24 часа на SteamDB в игру играл 1 человек. Кто же это был? XD

Игра построена на паркуре и как говорится запроектирована на использование контроллера. После 2,5 часов игры остались одни отрицательные эмоции. Камера ужасная. Ее нужно режиссировать на каждый поворот трассы, а не оставлять на усмотрение игрока. Прыжок работает через раз из-за корявых коллизий с окружением. Персонажа мотает из-за странных коллизий стен при выпрыгивании. Игра не стоит своих денег. Разработчикам нужно показывать как пример нормальной игры про мышей и крыс Ghost of a tale.

Absolutely fantastic game and new successor of original Ratatouille game (2007) from ASOBO where I see a huge inspiration. To be honest, I was really worried about the good-looking project because the development took a long time and there wasn't much information, but now the game is finally out. The split into two parts only made my worries worse. But none of that was confirmed and I really enjoyed it and spent a fantastic 7 hours of great adventure playing it with my little son. This is more than I expected for that good price. Proof that even smaller developer teams can make great games. For rodent lovers, this is an absolute must-have and unfortunately the comparison with Ratatouille is simply unavoidable and that's why I'll stick with it. The main difference compared to this game is probably that Rat's Quest is heavily linear without any side quests or optional missions with a minimum of alternative paths. Also, apart from a mini butterfly catch, there are no collectibles or unlockable content, which is a big shame and if the game sells good, there's a big opportunity for a small "expansion" or DLC. While I played Ratatouille at least 10 more times after the first playthrough and tried to collect everything I could and discover every hidden nook and cranny and win all the side missions, unfortunately there's nothing like that here, so the motivation to play the game again is minimal. The game is otherwise great, Mat can do a lot of different moves and learns new and new abilities and experience is constantly moving forward and the idea of ​​alternative perspectives from the side-view or above-view works absolutely great for the rat. Creating so many game mechanisms would certainly take a lot of work and therefore it would be a great shame if the game did not have a sequel, new missions and maybe even another story (I don't mean season 2, but a whole sequel...). Another advantage are surely cutscenes (there are really a lot of them) and the story itself, which has even some basic twists. It's just a shame that cutscenes are not fully ingame, when they are recorded in the game anyway. If you play the game on maximum details and You are close to the monitor, the recorded videos have some compression fragments and it ruins the impression of the otherwise great graphics. The difficulty is good enough for casual players, we had only three major stucks, but it was rather that we played it on a keyboard with a mouse. While the camera works great (apart the sensitivity), it is really obvious that the game is made for a controller and some places are simply problematic and it would deserve even better QA and a special tester with only keyboard and mouse. Anyway, I can totally recommend it as good family game and I hope that the developers can finish the second part and its sales will allow them to add at least some additional content. I personally was waiting when the discounts ends so that I could buy the game at full price and support its development...
