Galactic Glitch: Prologue

Вскрыл с надеждой, что будет что-то интересное, ну или забавное, а внутри просто пустота. Даже запаха нет. Может, так и задумано по философски, но мне нужен был продукт, а не арт-объект. Не рекомендую, если, конечно, вы не коллекционируете разочарования. Ну, или игры как я. И если этот обзор наберёт 50 лайков и 10 наград - куплю полную версию и сыграю 100 часов. Улучшу значок до 5 уровня и схожу в церковь помолиться за разрабов, чтобы они делали только крутые проекты…

ВЫГЛЯДИТ КРУТО! НО Слишком легко Я прошел пролог с первой попытки, не особо заморачиваясь и вдумываясь Обычно в рогаликах на это уходит 2 часа, а не 20 минут

"Galactic Glitch: Prologue" is not a game. It's an advertisement for a product called "Galactic Glitch". Galactic Glitch is an apparently abandoned Early Access "roguelike" (which means "Developer couldn't be bothered creating bespoke content and decided samey procgen algorithms are an acceptable subsitute for doing the job of a content creator), with mechanics that are essentially a rather weak ripoff of SpaceWar!/Star Control. But this isn't completely relevant because this is not Galactic Glitch, it's just an advertisment for it, so it's not correct to try to review that completely distinct product. We must instead review this for what it is... an advertisement. If you enjoy advertisements, you can consume them for free on the web or on Youtube without needing to add them to your game library, download them, and then launch the advertising. It's impossible in a general sense to recommend people should do that over playing real, full games on Steam, and that applies here with "Galactic Glitch: Prologue" too. The purpose of this advertisement is to get you to shell out a whopping $13 USD on an unfinished project that hasn't been touched in months, and I don't recommend you do. This is only free in the same way that adverts on Youtube and banner ads in your browser are. This is a game demo that's been dumped on Steam to advertise another Steam store page in the hopes of raking in some cash. Just because advertisements are free, doesn't mean they're worth your time. It's important to understand there's a formal process to create a demo/page for a game which hasn't been followed here: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/application/demos While it might seem like an inocuous mistake, publishing demos and advertisements as if they are full games is misleading and in some ways harmful. This advertisement is taking up marketing space and visibility that would be better made available to a developer that's done the right thing and created a full game. Instead, that visibility is given over to a demo/advert that's been published incorrectly and is polluting the marketplace. It's unclear if this mistake was made through incompetence or a deliberate intent to mislead gamers. Often developers may choose to incorrectly publish demo/advertisements as separate games as a cheap way to bypass paying Valve for marketing presence on the Steam front page, which may seem clever to them, but it's harmful behaviour and it's not good for gamers. Advertisements and incorrectly published demos don't add +1 to your game collector count, they aren't full games. It's impossible for me to recommend this incorrectly published advertising spam to gamers, you deserve better than adverts.
