Project Origin

this demo is urm..its a demo is it fun? not really..but itds made in unreal..so theres that. i know this review is short but its the same size as the demo

This game has no business being in Early Access on Steam. It's nowhere near ready. I get that Early Access means it's not ready for a full publication but I've played a LOT of Early Access games and this game is barely a devil's causeway from any of them. It's a GitHub project with nice textures. The combat is a mess, the controls are a mess, the menus are a mess, the audio controls literally do not work at all, the cut scenes are a kindergarten art project, and the voice acting sounds like some guy in his home office with a headset mic. Early Access is intended to build anticipation for full release while working out the kinks, but first impressions are important and you only get one. Sorry to say this far too early-early-access release made a downright horrible first impression and even if you get this up to the level of full release I probably won't come back for it.

Project Origin is an ambitious MMORPG that I found more interesting for its ideas than its current level of polish. I play in a fractured fantasy world where ancient powers, ruins and dangerous creatures are all tied together, and I liked the feeling that there is a much larger story hiding behind what I can currently explore. The combination of exploration, combat and character progression gives it a solid foundation. The combat is built around choosing a style that fits how I want to play. I can focus on melee attacks, magic or more sneaky approaches, and I liked having that freedom when dealing with enemies. Fights are reasonably active, and upgrading my skills and equipment gives me a clear reason to keep exploring. The combat is not perfect yet, but I enjoyed the basic feel of moving through the world and dealing with threats as they appear. Exploration is another strong point for me. The world has ruins, hidden locations and different areas to investigate, and I like the sense that I can wander away from the main path and potentially find something useful. Crafting and character customization also help make the journey feel more personal, although the systems currently feel…

Good game. Could use some polishing, but overall, it's nice

I will revisit once more updates come out and I can play the game. Currently I would just rate is UNPLAYABLE, but I have hopes for future updates.. Up to the boss fight I would recommend and visually appealing. The cutscenes are cinematic and a blend of animation that looks hand sketched. I like it. Story kinda of bland but it has a story of some sort with Klor.

I cannot recommend this game at all. In the game's current state of development, it should be a Pre-Alpha state game, and not listed on steam at all. The gameplay is so bad it wouldn't even be worthy of a demo at this point. To the Devs....I recommend Delisting this game, working on it for a few more years, and then maybe re-releasing it once it has the same polish and playability that at least games like Soulframe has. For now, this game hasn't been updated since September which just screams Scam. Avoid this at all cost.
