one of those horrible quake/half life mod type boomer shooters with wretched meme textures and random geometry everywhere. level design, shooting, "story" and especially the ear r*pe deep fried music is all truly miserable to experience. im sure this is intentional and the joke is that the game is bad, unfortunately this isnt funny for more than a few levels if you aren't a brainrot streamer and the game is legitimately like 50+ levels long or something insane. they all blend together after a while and i couldnt even bring myself to finish it, it's that boring. you can find a million maps like this out there if you really want to, except this one costs money for some reason so i cant recommend choosing it. and if you want to play a brain rot boomer shooter that's actually fun and well made, go play Cruelty Squad which this game is desperately trying and failing to emulate

i feel bad leaving a negative review since the developer seems to have genuine intentions and i get what they were trying to go for, however it just doesnt work and i cant in good faith recommend this mod/game

why go through all that painstaking effort to make the ultimate battlefield killer then immediately abandon it? devs, PLEASE come back. i love this game and its community. we deserve better than pulling a sleazy con and running away with our money

it doesnt quite recapture the magic of wuppo but there's plenty of fun and laughs to be had regardless. i appreciate the developer moving in a new stylistic direction rather than a rehash while maintaining a recognizable tonal identity. interested in what they'll come up with next.

very nice and refreshing fps. original take on an oversaturated yet untapped genre. excellent shooting, mechanics, and atmosphere. low content but above expectations for price. terrible performance and somewhat unstable, again acceptable for price but could be improved. progression could be a bit faster but its not painfully slow either. i found the maps to decrease in quality per unlock, starter map is by far the best and others need more work imo. super fun overall cant wait for sequel

unfortunately i dont feel that metal garden is quite worth your time. i was enthusiastic to it first, but quickly became bored and forced myself to finish the game just to see the ending. there's a couple big reasons for this amidst some smaller ones:

1. the gunplay isn't fun. combat is about as bare bones as you can get for a shooter, with only the three basic weapon types (short mid long) and frag grenades. there are equally few enemy types, and their ai is the most basic run and gun. the weapons arent fun to shoot, enemies arent fun to shoot, and combat generally feels like a waste to pad out the runtime. there's just no crunch or satisfaction to any of the weapon designs. imo metal garden shouldnt be an fps at all, as it doesnt feel like the shooting does anything to increase the player's enjoyment or intertwine them with the world and plot.

2. the game doesnt look good. i understand the artistic reasoning behind making everything similar shades of grey, and i understand the technical limitations behind the modeling, but in this case it just doesnt work. rather than immersing me in the world the drab and barren appearance of everything disconnected me from it and made me feel like i was in an unfinished map, rather than a living world. my eyes actually hurt after completing the game because the colors of my desktop were such a contrast from looking at the near exact same shade of grey for an hour. more detailed lighting, more densely populated environments, or better modeling could all help improve the atmosphere. as it stands, it just feels dead, and not in a good way.

besides this metal garden shows promise; the story has some interesting beats despite the short runtime, and some of the scenery is pretty nifty. there's a real solid foundation in the worldbuilding. however, the experience overall feels too unfinished and bland to charge for. needed more time in the oven.

it's like half life but without the guns or aliens

fantastic, a perfect example of greatness emerging from simplicity. the concept is great and the puzzles are good, but the real draw to ZNT is the atmosphere. the B-movie aesthetic, sound and writing really sets the mood and elevates a good puzzle game into a great immersive sim. the game chooses its style carefully and sticks with it til the end, to the immense benefit of the player. a really gorgeous and ambient game with a killer soundtrack.

great shooter

unfathomably lazy engagement bait, id call it an asset flip but the assets are so low quality i honestly cant tell. there are good games about digging holes- the most profitable game in the world is about digging holes. this is not one of them. it is uninspired default Unreal slop so barebones you can't tell if there was any meat on them to begin with. at best it is comparable to the most simplistic incremental games out there, except instead of making the numbers go up for you it forces you to keep engaging with the most mind numbing "gameplay" imaginable right up to the end, which mercifully comes soon enough to refund this waste of $5.

i have to stress that the problem is not inherent to the concept of the game. even if nothing was changed about the stale gameplay loop at all, i could think of a dozen minor additions that would vastly improve the experience. heck, even technical improvements would help- like the use of an actual physics system, instead of allowing dirt specks to float annoyingly in empty space and loose ore to delete itself from existence. it's not like Unreal doesn't make this sort of thing readily available to even amateur developers! i can only speculate that the sudden positive reception of this "game" either comes from streamer-based irony poisoning, or artificial/paid engagement boosting. either way, it doesn't earn such success in any meaningful way. you could throw a rock on steam and hit a better indie game than this.
