It is barely a game. You just walk around until an exclamation mark pops up and you can right click to see a blurb of menial, limb-wristed therapist nonsense. Occasionally there are enemies that you need to avoid. It unironically features a "safe space." It takes the 'written by a therapist' onto horrifying levels of meh. It is similar to Depression Quest by its premise - let that sink in. F no. :)

Игра "Inner" оставила после себя смешанное впечатление. С одной стороны, визуальный стиль, выполненный в минималистичной, но выразительной манере, действительно захватывает и создает особую атмосферу медитативного путешествия. Механика полета, основанная на дыхании и ритме, поначалу кажется оригинальной и расслабляющей. Хочется просто парить в этих абстрактных мирах, исследуя их и взаимодействуя с окружением. Однако, достаточно быстро становится очевидным, что геймплей довольно поверхностный. Задачи, сводящиеся к сбору определенных предметов или выполнению простейших действий, быстро приедаются. Отсутствие какого-либо челленджа или значимой истории, которая могла бы мотивировать игрока, приводит к тому, что "Inner" ощущается скорее как интерактивная зарисовка, нежели полноценная игра. Не хватает глубины, сложности и, возможно, более четкого направления. Несмотря на завораживающую визуальную составляющую и приятную механику полета, "Inner" не смогла меня зацепить надолго из-за своей монотонности и отсутствия значимого прогресса. Это интересный опыт, но одноразовый, и вряд ли оставит глубокий след в памяти.

I get its a jam game and free but seems weird in your game where it's that easy to die and lose all your progress that you: a) would make players sit through unskippable dialogue boxes and a camera shift on restart and b) make it so even running full tilt you can't outpace the one shot enemies you can't hear or see until they spot you (at least I never could). Like the Slender by way of finding invisible hotspots in the dark design aside (which isn't great to begin with imho), the above two points just seem kinda whack. Still great atmosphere tho and the creatures sound gnarly. I just think even free there's more fun ways to get spooked.

Games like Undertale that remember what you didPC

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Games like Slay the Spire that keep the branching climb

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
