✦ AI summary

orz is an experimental platformer with a striking visual style that players find either captivating or pretentious, depending on their tolerance for artistic ambition over traditional gameplay. The game is extremely difficult and demands significant practice and patience, which some players find rewarding and meditative while others consider it frustratingly unbalanced and inaccessible. Players interested in skill-based challenges with unique aesthetics may find it worth trying, though most casual players should expect a steep learning curve and potentially frustrating experience.

"orz" is not to be confused with the Orz from Star Control 2 (*happy campers* are the best. It is *happy*). Instead this is an experimental (garbage) more art-than-game (garbage) endless runner/platformer. Now, every single game in this entire genre is trash, from Flappy Bird all the way to this pretentious monstrousity. What do you do in the game? You must move endlessly to the left (wow, not to the right, such incredible innovation), avoid spikes and hazards, and that's about it. Oh and you can look at the really badly done art about some girl in a hospital gown that the developer seems obsessed with. These guys sure do go out of their way for their imaginary girlfriends. The game is really simple and unambitious in terms of implementation, more of a tech demo or one of those cases where an amateur developer spends $100 to publish something on Steam Direct to see if it's possible. Yes, obviously it's possible. A proof of concept, tech demo, or something that's less than a little blip on the radar isn't offering anything truly valuable to gamers. Visually, this features mediocre hand drawn style "Baby's First Wacom Tablet" art instead of contemporary graphics. This obv…

ORZ is exactly the kind of game that rewards persistence. It's incredibly difficult and challenging from the very beginning, and you'll probably fail many times before you start getting the hang of it. However, as you learn the mechanics and improve your skills, the game becomes much more enjoyable. Every obstacle you overcome feels rewarding, and the sense of progression keeps you motivated to keep trying. It's one of those games where patience and practice really pay off. If you enjoy games that test your skill and determination, ORZ is definitely worth playing. It's brutally hard, but that's what makes reaching the end so satisfying and fun.

♥♥♥♥♥♥ бред тупого говна, почему нельзя сделать игру по человечески, НЕЕЕТ, НУЖНО СДЕЛАТЬ ♥♥♥♥♥♥ УСЛОЖНЁННЫЙ В ТРИ РАЗА ДАРКСОУЛС В ЖАНРЕ ПЛАТФОРМЕРОВ, где в одном месте пройти шанс 1/100, а в другом даже грибоед под эффектом пройдёт. Очень хороший визуальный стиль, прикольно сделанные боссы (насколько я понял по отзывам ПСИХОВ, которые прошли это дальше 0.027), но к сожалению игру сделали недостижимой для 99% адекватных игроков, создав дисбалансный калл, который навряд-ли увидят какие то спидранеры-задроты (потому что игра непопулярная и позиционирует себя по-другому), и который не пройдёт целевая этой игры из-за сломанной сложности. В итоге игра может быть 8-9/10 как платформер (если вы ♥♥♥♥♥♥ шиз который готов 4 часа тренировать один прыжок), но для меня это 4/10. Рекомендую только людям, игравшим в платформеры на денди. (или людям с психическими расстройствами)

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.
