break (2021)

[h1]Before I played break, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]

"break" is not, believe it or not, RPG Maker asset flip garbage. It was slapped together badly in Unity and features godawfully bad bespoke pixelcrap assets instead of godawfully bad RPG Maker flipped assets. However, rest assured, all the things gamers hate about RPG Maker crapware has been faithfully reproduced with Unity (what a waste of time). The developer describes this as both "new" and "nostalgic" so they need to pick one. It's an adventure game that seems to be the result of watching way much Lupin III anime, and then dumping out a fan-fiction onto Steam. And this does have all the qualities of a fan-fiction, it's cringe and amateur. There's a plot about stealing plans and being chased by a gang, but any aspects of the fan-fiction plot are irrelevant because it's impossible to get as far as reading the plot because the graphics are so bad. There's no English translation for the game, but that's okay. The language of bad games is universal. This features really godawful pixelcrap "art" instead of real graphics. It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does…
