Käyttäjän Brodaty viimeaikaiset arvostelut

At 10:00 developer is writing to me about his game 10th time in a month, first emails I simply ignored.

At 11:00 morning I'm sending him email that he should stop such annoying spam. I said that sadly I will not review or cover their game because it lacks so much features, QoL, testing and stuff that I don't want to "harm" his game in negative way.

At 15:00 I'm receiving apology about so much notices and press emails. Two times. I'm asking again and again, I'm receiving apology for constant spam.

At 20:00 I'm receiving another email that developers want me to test their game, despite negative feedback and two "Sorrys" for spamming :D

So, here you go... 👎

One of the best graphical-cool and lore-rich games that I played this year totaly smashed by incredibly stupid and hard-punishing riddles.

Spędzając w tej grze dwa dni grania mogę napisać tyle - nie jest to produkcja idealna, bo nie zawiera wielogrywalności. Z drugiej jednak wszystko to, co gra oferuje daje frajdę do momentu aż ukończymy wszystko. Wśród ocen negatywnych pojawiają się teksty o problemach z budową dróg - jak się nie potrafi używać trybu swobodnego (CTRL) to tak właśnie jest... Z pewnością cena za taki content gry jest zdecydowanie za wysoka. Ja bawiłem się nieźle, a wszystkie wady i zalety wymienione są w załączonym filmie.

Horribly unbalanced.
Using one kind of towers or garrisons will cause this game to be literally AFK simulator. Others are so useless that you will not pass first world using them. No control over your deck, so you will leave the game 9083273287328 times just because RNG was bad for you. Good music and quite nice artstyle, but that's all good this game have to offer. All the time you will get RNGed stuff that you don't want or need and 9081272109217 times you will simply hit ESCAPE - > leave, as it will be waste of time to even try. It's like 1 or 0 all the time and you instantly know if you will survive or not. Reason for negative?

THERE'S NOTHING ABOUT DECK BUILDING

You are getting cards in game that you can discard, upgrade or play. Nothing about deck BUILDING. So for example - you will get cards for towers, but you play garrisons. Okay, you can discard them or upgrade to get another. But upgrade grants you another tower cards, so you can leave and try again :)

Also, I want to punch some of the devs in real life a little. Just gently. But I'm so eager to do it that they simply deserve - how bad you have to be (as developer) to not let people set up their own resolution, fullscreen or borderless? "Not deeply thinking" devs added minigames that require you to use mouse... that is... leaving the window. So you can't play it with high sens mouse, you have to lower your DPI to play this game or minigame.

Sadly. It's sounds cool, trailers looks great, pixelart is awesome. But it's made by guys or ladies (whatever) that are simply laughing at you, as player, and by the game mechanics (unbalanced and done in incredibly stupid way) you gets "yellow rain" on your forehead, not the quality. Answers on Steam Discussions proves they are simply laughing at the playerbase all the time rather than thinking about game mechanics first and simply admit they done something in wrong way. Developer is pasting the same copy-paste answer to all topics on Steam Discussions. I was about to just ignore this game and leave it without review but such approach to the players forced me to leave dislike...

It was a pleasure to play your games Techland.
Was.


Oh ♥♥♥♥...
Guys. Srsly. Are you some kind of bots? You are getting negatives not because we have issues in the game or anything like that. You are getting negatives because of microtransations in single player game and selling yourself to Tencent. You srsly don't realize why this happens?

Minimum 2-3h waiting time in queue, so player will not refund the game. Nice trick scammers :)

Sadly, review changed from positive to negative. This is very cool and awesome game, but made by complete morons disconnected from community - there's literally ZERO contact between authors and their community. The game is filled with a cosmic amount of ill-considered things, where the player is forced to guess what the author had on mind. Example: whole location is flat as ♥♥♥♥, but in one corner you have to jump using F to get the most important item in the lore. You don't even know there's option to jump there. So you are looking around location for 2 hours and after that you are making huge facepalm that simple F button in the corner, not the button, but the place where you can simply jump - blocked you from playing further.

In addition, a lot of locations in which it is not foreseen that the player can enter there without having a story item. So? So you can't leave this location! Killing yourself there and respawning in the city doesn't work either. The bosses are probably the most annoying. You give him an hour of preparation, fight fiercely to find out that the boss is spawning and you can't defeat him because something is missing in the main storyline. But game will not tell you what. Go guess. The aforementioned disconnection of the authors from the community proves one thing - the trailers show us the game in cooperation, but the authors don't give a ♥♥♥♥ that players demand save progress between sessions.

So they can continue playing with someone else or alone. Maybe it was too hard to do, but still. The game looks majestic in multiplayer mode, but in fact it is unplayable in multiplayer. Very heavy damage somewhere in the space between the cerebral hemispheres proves one thing - the authors changed the location of a very important item, the hookshoot. Now getting it is incredibly stupid - as I mentioned, you just have to... jump off in one place in a large location... when we don't do that in the entire location. So you don't expect there's tiny place to jump off. As you can see, this caused a lot of negative reviews, because people are thinking how to get this item having it at hand, you just have to press F in one place throughout the location.

I would really like to love this game - pixel art, huge locations, puzzles, complex passages, great playable characters (skills + items), artifacts, secrets, lore, story, exploration. Wow, I want it in mmorpg form. However, this game can not be liked by the cretinism of the authors - go do the quest. But where? How? I visited the whole world, every hole, location, I go back through these empty locations back again for long hours, I got stuck in places where I can't enter without quest items dozens of times. Not because I don't have item. Just because you can ENTER location, but you CAN'T leave it as you don't have quest items. This means that this title can be put on the shelf and forget about...

Craskshell, ♥♥♥♥ you. And everything around you with you included.

Sadly, after nearly 400 hours I've decided to switch my review from positive to negative. Despite I will play this game, I will purchase supporter packs and I love to play this. Also I worked some time in team and in the community of this game. I realy wish this game will be improved for years and I realy hope for that! This is one of the best games I ever player in my whole gaming (28 years) experience. Upcoming updates are cool, like achivs, like weekly stuff to do, like hiring more 3D artists. So why this horrible thing happens?

1. Community Servers and wallhackers. This is cool idea, so we can have different maps, gamemodes, some modifications even with official progression enabled. But all people that are jumping from one enemy to another through bushes or are looking at people through walls on spectate started to play on CM servers. Why? Reason is simple: they will not get banned as all reports are sent to server owners. Most of them piss on reports as long as servers are alive. It's quite interesting that if you play on official server most players have legit looking gameplay, KD, stats or accuracy. It's fun to play. But when you join community servers you can see people on top with 150/10 KD and on spect you realize they are not playing legal... And? Nothing happens, they are safe.
At community servers you are not playing to win the round, you are playing with cheaters or you simply admit to lose the round all the time being farmed.
Players are banned mostly in one big wave each week, so after that people like I described above are safe. This is quite stupid tactics.

2. Nerf of nerf for nerf to nerf. SMGs are too good? Now they are losing dmg on distance so hard they deal little damage even on medium range. Still it's good to play using SMG and I like DMR boost. But nerfing everything too hard is also bad. Granades? We got bugged throphy that simply removed all granades in proximity. People are placing them like crazy on urban maps... Also nades got nerfed and you can't kill many people using it anymore. Same with claymores, proximity mines - limited, nerfed.

3. The best things in the game are not improved. Oki as main coder and developer is busy making stuff that no one needs. But the biggest and best things in the game are abandoned - for example inventory, different helmets, vests, belts, backpacks. Everything like that makes players different and allows them to play different style. It's uber cool but abandoned - more items with unique perks or different stats, that's make game addicting, but well, it's not developed further...

4. Wrong ideas. Votemap was bad, focusing mostly on conquest? Now even with 35% votes on 1st option and less than 15 on different... 15% are winning. WTF. Oki seems to like to jump from one option to another, to extremes, rather than gently changing mechanics until they start to feel good. Devlopers had to withdraw from many options as people did not liked them. Oki added a healing option for each player. Well, now no one heals, because everyone heals themselves. The medics became useless. Oki added the option to respawn immediately, you only had to hold the spacebar for a second, not 5 seconds. So people stopped reviving... There are countless of such decisions.

4. Lack of QOL and adding stuff that no one wanted. Oki as main coder sometimes is smart. For example he added round bars for wounded people that you can heal or yellow bars around players that you can support with amunition. GREAT! But still we don't have such round bar for bleeding players and we - as medics - don't know accurate if someone is bleeding out or not. Directional and customizable hitmarkers. Anyone wanted that? No one. Everyone got and everyone was mad about lack of option to use classic hitmarkers, so oki added this in hurry. Main thing in making the game is to play it yourself and asking yourself what is annoying to myself - than fixing it or adding QOL for that. Oki is mostly busy working on the game, but not playing it. After so many months of asking Oki is adding fade-out to player markers, despite he said before it's not possible.

5. Decaying fun. It's hard to describe why it's like that, but let me get it streight - you want to heal? First you have to un-press one button to press another one. So for example you are playing heavy assault and you are bleeding out sometimes before game will "catch" you want to heal yourself.

Cóż. Miałem nie wystawiać negatywa na Steam, ale jednak to zrobię.


Skoro deweloper zedytował swoją odpowiedź ja też zedytuję: idiotami też was nie nazwałem. Słowa "trzeba być idiotą, a nie programistą" - może być skierowane w stronę jakiekolwiek programisty, który implementuje opisywaną mechanikę w jakiejkolwiek grze. Zdanie te nie zostało skierowane w wasze studio, nie nazywałem tak waszego studia, ani kogokolwiek z was.

Do zrobienia tego zachęciło mnie podejście autorów - zarzucili mi kłamstwo samemu kłamiąc i manipulując. Nigdzie nie stwierdziłem, że wzięli ikony interfejsu z innej gry. Uznałem, że ich interfejs jest rip-offem, czyli kopią interfejsu innej gry - konkretnie Wiedźmina. Interfejsy są niemal identyczne, ale nigdzie nie napisałem i nie powiedziałem, że użyli ikon z innej gry. W skrypcie wykonanego przeze mnie filmu ani na dyskusjach na Steam nie pada takie stwierdzenie, by wykorzystali coś, co użyto w innej grze. Dlatego autorzy zarzucając mi kłamstwo samemu skłamali i moją ocenę w formie wideo próbowali zmanipulować przeciwko mnie. Tak jakbym skłamał. Gdy sami skłamali - raz jeszcze - cała moja ocena nie zarzuciła autorom skopiowanie ikon z innej gry. Mimo, że autorzy uznali, iż to zrobiłem. Do tego zarzucają mi pokazanie starego interfejsu skilli, gdy wyraźnie zaznaczyłem iż jest to STARY interfejs, ukazujący jeszcze mocniejsze (dawne) wzorowanie się na Wiedźminie, w mojej ocenie...

O jednak ocenie negatywnej na Steam, której miałem nie wystawiać zadecydowało coś jeszcze - wykręcanie się z własnego opisu Steam. Jako potencjalny klient, gracz, kupujący czytam opis na Steam - widzę zapewnienie, że gra niby jest maksymalnie bug-free, jak to tylko możliwe, ale nie w pełni "smooth". Autorzy wykręcają się, że tak miało nie być, że ogłoszenia na Steam mówią o możliwych bugach i tak dalej. Albo jedno, albo drugie. Jeżeli opis Steam mówi o staraniu się zrobienia gry bug-free, a jednak jest to bug-festival, to nie ja skłamałem, a autorzy.
Zarzucanie kłamstw oceniającym grę, samemu kłamiąc i przeinaczając lub nie rozumiejąc stanowiska oceniającego sprawiło, że jednak dodaję swojego negatywa do puli.

Wracając do gry. Przede wszystkim Trail of Ayash chce być wszystkim - grą z wielkim światem, w którym nic nie ma. Grą z wielką swobodą umiejętności, z których nie korzystamy, bo ilość umiejętności nie zadowala. Magia również nie, gdy przez 8 godzin nauczyłem się 1 czaru z tutoriala. Dubbing dla każdej z postaci nie wypada najlepiej. To nie jest dobry pomysł. Na siłę trójwymiarowa mapa, która niczego nie przedstawia, nie działa i nie wskazuje poprawnie kierunku niesamowicie irytuje. Duży problem leży w stopniu trudności oraz źle rozpisanych skryptach. Wiele zadań można zbugowac. Nie są one sekwencyjne - czyli wątek nie dzieje się 1-2-3-4 bez opcji zrobienia inaczej. W Trail of Ayash możemy w osobnej specjalnej lokacji questowej ominąć "trigger" questa. Przykład: nasi towarzysze chcą nas na chwilę opuścić. Przez to walczymy z bossem sami. Ale jeżeli zrobimy wszystko, by ten "trigger" opuszczenia nas nie zadziałał, nasi NPC sami zabiją bossa... bez naszej pomocy. Jest niesamowita ilość takich miejsc. Możemy spotkać NPC, który zginął, ale w innym wątku się pojawia, mimo że nie żyje. Masa mechanik, które nie działają - pływanie, jakie nie ma sensu i użyteczności. Rozwój postaci pod magię, jakiej praktycznie przez 8 godzi nie doświadczyłem, nie licząc heala z tutoriala. Nawet biorąc poprawkę na to, że grę robią dwie osoby i wcześniej było dostępne demo. Byłoby to zdecydowanie lepszym wyjściem, by grę spróbować wykonać w formie Fable lub Kingdoms of Alamaur - z lokacjami połączonymi w formie sieci, ale które byłyby dopieszczone i treściwe. A tak spadłem w tej grze pod świat kilkadziesiąt razy. Niestety nie każdy projekt i nie każde marzenie jest skazane na sukces.

Dla mnie tytuł-katastrofa, a o dodaniu oceny negatywnej zadecydowała sama reakcja autorów na ocenę - zarzucając mi kłamstwo, gdy sami skłamali na temat tego, co miałem rzekomo stwierdzić :)

Mobile garbage.
