Ahri and Bear

‎

"Ahri and Bear" is an almost charming Unreal Engine asset flip where you control a dog or a cat asset through asset flipped environments to do some 3D platforming. The game graphics look better than you might expect, but that's just because it looks like some or all of them are "borrowed" from asset stores or wherever. Gamers can tell... and it comes across as insincere. There's also the old adage that those who lack the budget and talent to make their own game assets usually lack the budget and talent to do the rest of the job of game development properly, too. This is "free" enough, at least you won't be expected to spend any more money after you download this, but just because something is free doesn't mean it's good. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 5 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Not this time. This isn't worth downloading. While this won't cost you any money, yo…

Ahri and Bear Positives: + Ok idea + Has a cat in it (always a plus) + Some of the graphics is acceptable + Its short (over in half an hour) + Ok voiceover + Its free Negatives: - A lot of bugs and glitches (some gamebreaking) - You get stuck everywhere, fall thru the terrain etc. - Weird and cluncky controls - Stiff and unnatural animations - Some of the graphics is quite bad - Weird story - No hints on what to do next - Absolutely no save game or checkpoint system (if you get caught or stuck because of bugs, you must start all over) - The music gets repetitive too fast - Not so fun (especially starting over because of the problems mentioned above) Unless you are desperate for a new free cat & dog game, look elsewhere. Total Score: 4/10

Ahri and Bear is a charming indie puzzle adventure centered on two animal companions attempting to make their way home through a world that feels considerably larger and more threatening from their perspective. Developed and published by CatDog Productions, the game uses the friendship between Ahri the cat and Bear the dog as both its narrative foundation and its primary gameplay mechanic. Instead of emphasizing combat or complicated character progression, it concentrates on exploration, environmental puzzles, light platforming, and stealth. The result is a modest but personable adventure that relies more on its protagonists and cooperative mechanics than on spectacle. The most interesting aspect of the game is the way Ahri and Bear contribute different abilities to the journey. Ahri possesses qualities naturally associated with a cat, including greater usefulness in situations requiring agility, stealth, climbing, and visibility in dark environments. Bear brings canine characteristics to the partnership, including strength, bravery, barking, and the ability to use his sense of smell. Obstacles are constructed around recognizing which companion has the appropriate skill for the si…
