✦ AI summary

Hello Cruel World has an intriguing atmosphere and novel mechanics that some players find engaging, especially early on, but it's hampered by technical issues including poor VR calibration, unreliable save systems, janky puzzles, and a general lack of compelling content beyond the opening. Most players suggest waiting for a sale or skipping it entirely unless you're willing to overlook significant bugs and can dedicate uninterrupted time to complete it in one sitting.

Yep this game sure does exist by the publishers of Rain World. This game is forgettable besides from the atmosphere that it creates. The puzzles can be janky and nothing really happens after the opening for a while. Don't recommend it unless on sale

Really liked it. I thought the game mechanics were novel. The atmosphere is really cool with plenty to look at. The lore builds nicely throughout the gameplay (crying child gave me goose pimples). It even worked with my first gen Vive wands…so a plus to the devs for mapping it. I didn’t care for the livestream chat because they didn’t really have anything relevant to say, but after a half-hour of play I accidentally figured out you can turn it off with a button press. Graphics were good and ran smooth as butter!

Enjoyed playing for the first couple of hours, then found the save point hadn't worked properly and I couldn't continue because I was stuck in a room where nothing worked anymore. Thought that was pretty poor, seems a like a basic element of the game which should work. Best not to waste your money on this unless you have the time to complete the entire game in one sitting.

Calibration is so poorly implemented that I can't get my head out of the floor. The flashlight is also infuriatingly useless and it's a stumble in the dark simulator. Had to refund this one, sorry. Too many glaring bugs hit me in less than 30 minutes.

good.

The first half hour was decent, but it's just not fun after a while.

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
