RATSHAKER™

What a ridiculous game. 10/10

This game has a serious lack of commitment to the core ideas it has that, admittedly, are decent enough on their own to withstand a full game if properly developed. As a result, we get a nothing sandwich. First there is the humor. You shake the rat a dozen times, chuckle up a little, and that's it: no more humor for you in the game. The rat won't quit though: it keeps try-harding one-liners at random moments... but they are randomized, and taken from a pool with very few of them. It also screams absurdly when you shake it, you know. In five minutes time it becomes tedious and boring, even cringy. I guess you can say there is the occasional silly activity, like cooking a hotdog outside the house if you want, but uhm I don't care about that. Oh yeah, and there are commercials about rat poison which serves no narrative purpose. Second there is the horror atmosphere. This one is alright, although generic for the most part. However, it is impossible to maintain the tension when you have a bluttering rat making boomer noises. In a similar note, I think I have never seen jumpscares SO uneffective in a videogame. There are also a lot of moments where the suspense is maintained through…

10/10 I don't even know what to say... It was a surreal hellscape that had me shaking my rat.

Truly, one of the games ever made. well worth the 3$

RAAATTTT

It's basically one of those games you should buy when it's ONE DOLLAR or UNDER. It's okay, I knew buying it that it would be a couple hours (I fell asleep with the game on so I have 8 hours) of slow walking sim gameplay but was hoping to be surprised with a little more. The rat made me laugh a bit, but you realize it's mostly the same yelling noises in a short loop pretty quickly in. Near the end you assume that's when ♥♥♥♥ hits the fan and then you do the big finale but it's basically over as soon as the big reveal happens. (which you already know what it's going to be because the game isn't subtle about it at all) Replayability isn't there really and that's because of the terribly slow intro to the game. They should really fix that, honestly, it's okay for ONE time, but makes me not want to sit there when I had to do it a couple of times because of exploring off set in the beginning a couple times leading to two different resets. Yeah you do the intro to the controls in a really boring way. After three times I didn't want to touch it again. I recommend the game, but I do not recommend the game at current price.
