[quote][b][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/b] "Pain of War" is one of literally thousands of creatively bankrupt asset flips/kitbashes infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere.[/quote] This is a really, really bad kitbash of a whole bunch of stock assets mangled together with the FPS Creator construction kit, designed to allow people who don't know how to make video games to hack together a working FPS in just minutes. Which is exactly what happened here. For profit. This is not okay. "Pain of War" is a basic asset flip, kitbashed out of a bunch of someone else's game assets all thrown in a blender. This is creatively bankrupt stuff, effectively plagiarism, and it's bad for everyone. While there's no up front price for this asset flip, the other problem with asset flips is that when developers aren't capable of doing their job and creating high quality assets, it's also true they can't do any of the rest of the job of a game developer either. That's definitely true for "Pain of War", and this kind of asset flipping never results in games that have quality or value for PC gamers. This game is fai…

Игра 'Pain of War' - это жесткое и бескомпромиссное погружение в окопы Первой мировой войны. Оставив в стороне героические мифы, разработчики сосредоточились на воплощении ужаса, отчаяния и бессмысленности конфликта. Графика, хоть и не является передовой, создает гнетущую атмосферу: серые пейзажи, разрушенные траншеи и лица солдат, полные усталости и страха. Геймплей – это медленная, тактичная борьба за выживание. Каждая вылазка за пределы траншеи – смертельный риск. Ресурсы ограничены, а враг превосходит числом. Необходимо тщательно планировать каждый шаг, использовать укрытия и беречь патроны. Особое внимание уделено психологическому состоянию солдат. Травмы, потери товарищей и постоянная угроза смерти оказывают разрушительное воздействие. Игра может показаться сложной и местами даже невыносимой, но именно в этом и заключается ее ценность. 'Pain of War' – это не развлечение, а скорее интерактивное переживание, позволяющее прочувствовать трагедию Первой мировой войны и понять, какой ценой доставался каждый клочок земли. Рекомендую тем, кто готов к серьезному и мрачному опыту.

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.

Toxic Commando Game Pass: subscribe, or buy the key?

The Toxic Commando Game Pass add landed on 12 November. Our price record since late September shows the key route barely moved, which changes what a subscription is worth.

Games like Titanfall 2, for the pilot or for the Titan

Titanfall 2's campaign changed its own rules every mission. Games like Titanfall 2 that keep one part of it — the wall-running, the mech, or a campaign that never settles.

It Takes Two cannot be played alone, and that is the whole design. Games like It Takes Two that give each player a different job — including one that makes do with a single pair of hands.

Football Manager 27 Game Pass, and what the old FMs now cost

Games like Frostpunk, where the law book does the damage

Games like Frostpunk for anyone who misses the Book of Laws more than the cold: the sequel's factions, a besieged house, beaver droughts, a drifting ark and the template it came from.
