Educational Family Games

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLozDXOwtho Educational Family Games - набор из 80 мини-игр, обьединенных в одну. Играть можно как соло (против компьютера), так и с друзьями (до 4 игроков) на одном экране. Кроме клавиатуры и геймпада можно использовать телефон (в игре есть инструкция к подключению). Это сессионная игра (параметры каждой сессии настраиваются) - перед нами поле, по которому игроки передвигаются на манер настольной игры. Но периодически приходится играть в мини-игры: иногда каждый сам за себя, иногда 2 на 2. Играть весело даже в соло. Выглядит игра отлично, управление удобное. Звучит приятно, но - ужасно громко! И настроить громкость музыки нельзя, можно только выключить все звуки. В игре вообще нет настроек, только пара переключателей вкл/выкл. Зато игра переведена и даже озвучена на множестве языков. Отмечу из минусов неприятный момент в игре: можно очень легко потерять добытый с трудом прогресс и победное место. Например, другие игроки могут покупать улучшения, позволяющие просто забирать у вас самоцветы (это игровая валюта) и даже короны (это нужно для победы в сессии). А боты абсолютно всегда выбирают целью именно вас. Это неприятно и обидно. Играя с настоящими людьми можно договориться просто не использовать это, но как быть с ботами? Во всем остальном - это отличная игра для всей семьи. Рекомендую.

Long has it been since I had an experience close to this... a game centered on education that made me remember those cozy gatherings at home with family and friends, everyone can participate using their own section of the keyboard, controller or even their phone with its handy app. Everything in a LAN environment, which is perfect to get that face to face feeling that we have forgotten with online only games (4 players 2 human and 2 bot was fun!). A little more competitive but a lot more deep in its mechanics, it reminded me more of Mario Party where you need to focus on moving around the board collecting points to then position yourself on the top. Or WarioWare with the minigames styling and gimmicks like dancing when you are on the map if you move the analog stick (small aspects that reminded me of older games). But variety is excellent, with ability and knowledge based games, board full of locations to discover (board theme maps), and cute playable/secondary characters (with their own unique animations). No session felt the same, and bots on medium-hard can give a tough fight. The final score has different categories so no game is decided only by one factor! I think the "educational" part can be enhanced by adding more context of the world, science or pop culture. even small knowledge tips to grab the attention of players, incite more conversations between them and maybe other quiz formats that can stimulate other types of interaction, laughs and jokes included :) I RECOMMEND!

Really fun game! There are a lot of different minigames, and I liked how it mixes educational questions with games that are more about reactions, memory, logic, etc. There is enough variety that it doesn't get repetitive quickly, and that made us always want to keep playing more rounds. I also really liked that even though the game is educational, it's far from boring! You are mostly focused on playing and trying to win, and you end up learning things along the way without really thinking about it! The whole game is colorful, silly and has a lot of charm. It's obviously great for kids and families, but honestly adults can have a lot of fun with it too!! We had a really good time with it and would definitely recommend it!
