HikeJam

HikeJam is not good. It's missing a sense of purpose. They threw in too many mechanics that make it difficult for the player to enjoy playing. The principal hiking mechanic is more frustrating than fun. None of the tools you have to use are helpful. The grapple is neat when it works, but aiming it is impossible. Is HikeJam a silly physics party game or a meaningful game with competitive hiking? I can't tell you! Keep in mind this is a multiplayer game, and there's no one playing online. The bots are idiotic AND too good at the game. On the simple levels, they'll destroy you, and on the weird levels, they can't figure it out. Please do not buy it.

Fun game with friends to see who will get blown up and die! https://youtu.be/ndCoOmALRFE

Despite reminding me of silly physics-based games like Human: Fall Flat (though not in a good way), [b]Hikejam[/b] is a terribly glitchy party-like game where you can compete with your friends as you all race along a hiking path, overcoming obstacles like wolves and chasms, using various tools. As the game's really very glitchy, the entertainment value you can get out of the game is minimal at best. I fell through the ground more times than I thought possible... and that's only during the tutorial. The controls in the game aren't at all friendly to players who are using the keyboard and mouse either. Maybe the game would play better with a controllers, who knows?

[quote][b]Note: Dead PvP game[/b] This game contains no meaningful single player content. There's no viably populated servers/active player population. This game cannot be played as intended.[/quote] Ignore the misleading store descriptions on "HikeJam", this is really more like a badly done ripoff of Stumbleguys, but with a locked side view that makes the game even worse to play. There's a low poly (probably asset flipped) hiking theme as you race other "hikers" across a wilderness trail. There's a number of tools you can use like a grappling hook, but they don't help much and fail at trying to add differentiation to a rather poor "party physics" game, making this more of a "please don't" than a "me too" in the already weak genre. So, "HikeJam" is a dead PvP game. Why did it fail? It's video game autopsy time! [i]Almost every PvP exclusive game on Steam fails.[/i] Only a tiny proportion of them "go viral". This game failed for many of the same reasons those others fail. The chief of which is the developer thinking that their game will "go viral" without actually creating any reason for it do so. Competition amongst PvP centric games is extreme, and there's only a fin…

Игра HikeJam оказалась приятным сюрпризом! Простая, но увлекательная концепция, где нужно стратегически выстраивать маршрут для пеших прогулок, затягивает с первых минут. Графика выполнена в минималистичном, но очень симпатичном стиле, что не перегружает глаза и создает расслабляющую атмосферу. Игровой процесс достаточно интуитивен, но при этом требует обдумывания каждого шага. Нужно учитывать рельеф местности, наличие ресурсов и, конечно же, время. Особенно радует, что каждый уровень предлагает новые challenges и заставляет адаптировать свою стратегию. Особый плюс - это короткие, но интересные уровни, которые идеально подходят для того, чтобы скоротать время в дороге или просто отдохнуть от работы. Музыкальное сопровождение ненавязчивое и хорошо дополняет общую атмосферу игры. Единственное, чего хотелось бы добавить, - это больше контента. Новые уровни, режимы игры и, возможно, кастомизация персонажей сделают HikeJam ещё более привлекательной. В целом, это отличная инди-игра, которая заслуживает внимания любителей головоломок и просто тех, кто ищет что-то простое и увлекательное. Рекомендую!

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