What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Hero's Journey is a fantasy adventure with a solid character progression system and engaging combat that demands tactical thinking, complemented by stylish visuals and atmospheric music, but players consistently find the core experience uninspired and repetitive, with poor level design and a dull story that fails to hold interest beyond the early hours. Most reviewers agree the game is a generic 2D platformer that doesn't justify playing through to completion, suggesting it's better passed over unless heavily discounted.

Игра 'Hero's Journey' - это захватывающее приключение, погружающее в фэнтезийный мир, полный опасностей и тайн. Игрок берёт на себя роль начинающего героя, которому предстоит пройти сложный путь, полный испытаний и сражений. Отличная система развития персонажа позволяет создать уникального воина, мага или разбойника, подстраиваясь под свой стиль игры. Сюжет хоть и не блещет оригинальностью, но держит в напряжении благодаря интересным персонажам и неожиданным поворотам. Боевая система динамичная и требует тактического мышления, особенно в схватках с сильными противниками. Графика, конечно, не самая современная, но стилистика выполнена со вкусом и создаёт приятную атмосферу. Отдельно стоит отметить музыкальное сопровождение, которое идеально дополняет происходящее на экране. Из минусов можно выделить некоторую однообразность заданий в середине игры и необходимость гриндить для получения лучшей экипировки. В целом, это добротная RPG, которая способна увлечь на долгие часы. Рекомендую всем любителям жанра!
Hero's Journey is one of literally thousands of retro 2D platformers infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere... and I'm not kidding. Searching for "platformers" on the Steam store page yields over 17,000 results! Is this one of the best of those? Absolutely not. This is a particularly badly made platformer that seems to have been dumped on Steam just to prove that it's possible for someone to make a 2D retro pixel platformer using the 2D platformer code from the GameMaker Studio construction kit. We already know that... oh wait, this is on Steam just so the developer can pat themselves on the back, and has nothing to do with the interests of gamers on the platform. Creating more pollution, another unwanted and godawfully bad GameMaker Studio game. Platforming is an old, mostly dead genre, and this lacklustre experience, while it doesn't have an upfront cost, isn't saving the genre... it's no surprise this failed to capture any attention from gamers in the era of immersive 3D gaming. 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…
Hero's Journey is a 2D platformer that has an unenthusiastic main character as its main plot point. It's standard, uninspired 2D platformer fare gameplay-wise, but the story doesn't give you anything either. Not only is the story essentially "the hero isn't very enthusiastic", level design is poor. Pillars that look like they should obstruct your way actually do not, which can be confusing. And the design itself is just uninspired. Gameplay is standard platformer fare. Nothing about this game sings individuality, rather dull mundanity that the developer has seemingly mistook for cleverness. Boring levels, boring story, boring gameplay. Nothing is unique. I have the strange feeling I've done this all before, and that's probably because I have, because there are hundreds of games like this on Steam. It's one of the most replicated genres in video game history. I don't hate the game. There was nothing technically broken, nor nothing technically terrible. But it just wasn't worth the minute amount of time I spent playing.
[h1]Before I played Hero's Journey, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]
