Land of an Endless Journey

[quote][url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/9686972/]Follow "[b]First Person Exploration and Puzzle Games[/b]" for more games like this![/url][/quote] A joke of a game. Every puzzle is the same - you need to find a path that walks over/under the right amount of numbers to add up to the right sum. That's it. The music is repetitive, the graphics look like Half Life 1, the game is super buggy, and the puzzles are completely uninteresting. There is no universe where this game is worth $10 - I wouldn't recommend it for free. Avoid.

I'm at about 2 hours into this game. It doesn't give you a lot of hints, but it is fairly easy to figure out. I love the music, the challenges are pleasantly well difficult but not overly so, and the visuals are good. If you are looking for a slow paced, almost meditative, puzzle game this one is a great choice.

The puzzles could be fun, but the visibility of them is atrocious. It is rather annoying having to fail a puzzle multiple times just because you cannot see all the numbers or obstacles in one or two or even more goes sometimes. The game isn't linear, and gives no real indications of where you should go. You end up in massive open areas where you cannot see any puzzles, so you just run around like a headless chicken until you find a puzzle with no purpose. Then you pop out on the other side and run around again. Every now and then I did get a little indicator on the screen of a direction where there is a puzzle, but not nearly always. I also ran into multiple times where the graphics did not correlate with the traversable terrain - I was certain I was allowed to go that direction (ended up being true) but I simply sunk into the rocks and got stuck multiple times. If you think all of these things will not bother you and enjoy doing environmental math puzzles - go for it. But I cannot recommend the game as a whole.

There are few games that I have not wanted to play beyond the opening scenes - generally anything I don't like about a game is balance by what I do like. This is not the case with this game - it has an environment of mediocre 3D landscapes, repetitive puzzles and an awful auto-save system. Instead of saving after you have completed a puzzle, it saves at the start of that puzzle, so that if you have to reload or restart the game at all, you have to solve that puzzle again before you can continue. Having solved the same puzzle three times, I gave up and uninstalled the game. I fear that trying to compete it would prove to be an endless journey!

I am not quite sure what to think of this game, It seems it is pretty much identical type of puzzle objectives just different types of the same thing. If I seen this game I would of grabbed it at 99 cents because I like games like Myst and Talos Principle, Portal etc. Graphics could be better and the music could be better than listening to like the sad music from the movie Titanic. Glad I got this as part of a bundle and saved my 99 cents for a cheeseburger which is just as healthy for you as this game lol (nah game isn't that bad though cheeseburger was good)

[h1] Got stuck at the first puzzle for the first 30 minutes, untill the dime fell, then I started mowing down the rest untill it got more complex - nicely done! [/h1] This game is like "The Witness" ; a whole lot of the same puzzles but presented slightly different in an acceptable surrounding, getting harder and harder. As the map showed to me, I am not even at 50%, this game is large: LARGE! Well worth your dimes and time if you fancy puzzle games with a risk on getting your brain fried. ;) [h1] Nominated by me, VantaClaus, this game is a GEM from the GEM-Crusade of Steam's cheap pile under one euro/dollar! And it's worth it! [/h1]
