✦ AI summary
Players praise the game's attractive visuals and open city environment, which provides enjoyable exploration, along with a story that attempts to adapt its source material with some solid puzzle-solving and driving mechanics. However, most criticisms center on broken or frustrating combat that feels cramped and unfair, a confusing narrative that doesn't properly establish character motivations, and significant optimization and performance issues that undermine the experience overall.
It's... salvageable. Graphics are nice, the city is kewl, some static shots are nice, and that's it. The best thing about this game is just to roam around a decently built city with decent enough graphics. Everything else spans from subpar to horrible. The worst offender here is the combat, it's not fun, enemies just overwhelm you, and you simply don't have enough space to aim your weapon. Maybe a real melee would've solved this, not that pathetic kick. The story is… confusing, to say the least. There's a disease, then spoilery stuff happens, and now a woman the MC never saw before is the most important thing ever for basically no reason. Maybe the book develops this, but the game... eh... I would definitely lean more towards a "mixed" rating, but since I don't have this option and not a single real reason to recommend it, then I won't.4 found this helpful
i liked this game almost as much as i like sabrina carpetner i had so much fun running people over i ran everyone over and i laughed so much lolololoolooloolololol. GOOD GAME2 found this helpful
Beautiful world, unbearable to play. It's a broken mess. Avoid at all costs. Thanks penguinz0 :D
Although this game is shorter, it is surprisingly much fun to play. It is a nice mixture of driving, shooting, puzzle solving, looting and following a story. The references to the end of world war 2 are a nice touch to make the story more realistic. The map is quite easy to learn, the enemies are strong enough and sometimes even surprisingly challenging. This is a nice game for something "in between" longer games - the story is actually surprisingly well made. Recommended.
I mean... It's a game that has a story which progresses as you complete the game. It achieves what the developers intended it to, which means it achieved the goal of becoming a game. When you play the game you get a sense of the story as was intended by the developers and you feel a sense of accomplishment that you've beaten the game. There's nothing more you can ask for.
This is definitely a game of all time, based on a novella by Stefan Zweig. Read it (it's public domain), it's actually not too bad, although this game skips a lotta of details from that book. Works fine on Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon through Proton, but just a disclaimer: this game is not that well optimized at all.
