STAY OUT.

Pretty much the old Q3, just with a few changes to the weapons and updated graphics. Definitely a better experience than Quake Champions, despite its age.

It's alright but if you don't have friends to play with, stay the ♥♥♥♥ away

Even if you're the god of political correctness, this game will make you despise the entire chinese population.
Apart from that, ♥♥♥♥ optimization, ♥♥♥♥ netcode, ♥♥♥♥ hit register (especially for melee weapons, it's nearly impossible to kill a moving enemy with them), ♥♥♥♥ anticheat, ♥♥♥♥ match length (you'll usually end up running around the map for 20 minutes just to get killed by a camper sitting in a bush a 100 meters away)...

Literally the only positive thing about this game is that you can get in-game items (crates) with in-game money and sell them on the steam market (or sell it to someone for real money, if you got a good item from a crate), after 500h I got three times the money I paid for the game, but trust me, it was NOT worth the time I wasted on this.

EDIT: Not only that, now they also f...d up the optimization. I used to play normally on low to medium settings, now I set all my graphics settings to very low and I still get fps drops in critical moments (when I'm shooting an enemy in a close quarters situation, for example) which makes the game completely unplayable. Thanks, BlueBalls.

EDIT 2: Now you can experience the same desync, fps drops, bugs, cheaters and ping abusers in a tropical environment! Yay!

A fun little game, totally worth it when it's on discount.

Great game, but the scariness is overestimated.

This game will teach you how to hate Greenland

Play and you will understand

I pressed Alt+F4 thinking it was a part of the game.
11/10

This single one time I completely agree with PEGI's rating on a game.

I've got to say, I rarely write reviews for anything, but I think that in this case, I just have to. So let's get started!

A quick intro

Qbeh-1 is a prequel to game Qbeh (which you can download via Desura). Qbeh was a student project, practically a demo containing 6 levels. This '-1' (minus one) standing next to Qbeh tells that this is a prequel. So, getting back to Qbeh-1: This is a first person perspective non-violent exploration puzzle platformer game. You will meet several game genres here.

What you can expect
The game contains 5 (or maybe 6? I won't spoil it) worlds, each with 6 levels.
It's an exploration game, so you will not be told practically anything except key bindings (in options).

a) Your goal

Your goal is simple: find the portal to the next level. Simple but difficult.

b) Environment

As you probably saw in the trailers, Qbeh-1 is inspired by Minecraft - almost everything is made of cubes. In every level, you will be placed in... well, locations floating somewhere high in the sky. The sky is both above you and below you. On your way, you will encounter several kinds of cubes you can pick up, each one with a unique ability.

c) No violence

For some it's an advantage, for some it's a disadvantage. The only dangers you face is falling, being crushed by a door and touching poison.

d) Soundtrack

Soundtrack of Qbeh-1 is what makes the game incredible. It's ambient, atmospheric, soothing, relaxing... Each level has different soundtrack, and every song creates a different climate. You will definetly like it.

e) Pace
The game is rather slow-paced, but if you don't like it, in one of the worlds you will encounter fans, transporting you at high speeds.

f) Gameplay

I forgot to mention about this at the beginning of my review, sorry ;)
As I said before, you can pick up special cubes (several kinds) you can then place on special surfaces or other cubes. The game gives you the freedom of building, so there are always several ways to solve each puzzle. On each level, you can also find a Secret Token, and if you collect them all, you will unlock something special.


Qbeh-1: The Atlas Cube is a relaxing game, you can have a break from reality. You will have to jump, think, explore and have good eyesight.
It's now on sale, so I fully recommend you to buy it. Buy, and you will not regret.



Thank you for reading :)
