NonFullControl

"NonFullControl" is an interesting (but not great) idea implemented badly in the form of a tech demo. Except the developer tried to get paid cash money for this, which is in fact more amusing than the game itself. The idea is that you don't fully control your minimalist box avatar through the various platformer/physics like minigames, so you move around randomly etc. This is actually not fun and one of the most important things game developers should be aware of is that wretching control off the player, for a cutscene or whatever other reason, is janky, immersion breaking, annoying, and should never be done. The purpose of a game should never be for the player to fight the controls... the goal of any developer should be to make the controls so well polished and intuitive that the gamer stops being aware of them and just plays the game. So this is an exercise in failing that axiom of game design. In terms of visuals, this features fairly low quality low poly 3D visuals which will deter a lot of gamers, understandably. Gaming is a visual medium, and while some developers struggle with creating high quality visuals, failing to do so is a disservice to gamers. It's very difficu…
