✦ AI summary

RUCKBALL is a PvP-only sci-fi arena sports game that appears largely abandoned, with the player base having dwindled to nearly zero and servers no longer actively supported. While some players praise the core gameplay mechanics, physics, and graphics, the game's fatal flaw is its complete lack of an active community, making it impossible to find matches and rendering the multiplayer-only experience unplayable. Players unanimously agree the game is not worth purchasing in its current state due to the dead servers and non-existent player population.

Ruckball is a failed, abandoned attempt at making a PvP only sci-fi arena sports game. It was a painfully generic sports themed arena where you play a fictional PvP sport called "Ruckball", but you can't really play it anyway because it's dead and the developers pulled the plug on the servers. Of course, there's no private servers because that requires software development skills, and given this seems like mostly an Unreal asset flip, it's likely the developers didn't have any. It failed. SteamDB shows the game peaked at just 40 players, which is a pitiful number, and now the game has practically no players, with numbers less than 2 on any given day, probably the developers, or people obliged to play and review games no matter how bad they are, like yours truly. The developers abandoned the game over a year ago, and have left it to linger in a dead state on Steam, serving no purpose other than to pollute the store. Why did it fail? It's video game autopsy time! The developers made the terrible mistake of launching a multiplayer only game in Early Access. This is almost certain to kill the game. Most gamers will evaluate a game only once. If they do so when the game is i…

Игра RUCKBALL - это невероятно драйвовый и захватывающий спортивный симулятор! Смесь регби, американского футбола и, возможно, чего-то ещё из будущего, создает уникальный и динамичный геймплей. Поначалу разобраться в правилах может быть немного сложно, но как только втянешься, остановиться невозможно. Графика вполне достойная, особенно радуют сочные цвета и детальные модели игроков. Управление отзывчивое, быстро привыкаешь к броскам, подкатам и силовым приемам. Особенно впечатляет физика мяча - чувствуется, что он действительно имеет вес и инерцию. Режимы игры разнообразные, от быстрой аркады до полноценного режима карьеры, где можно развивать свою команду и бороться за чемпионский титул. Искусственный интеллект соперников достаточно сильный, заставляет думать и разрабатывать стратегии. Единственный минус, который могу отметить - иногда встречаются небольшие баги, но они не критичны и не портят общее впечатление от игры. В целом, RUCKBALL - это отличный выбор для тех, кто любит динамичные, спортивные игры с хорошей графикой и увлекательным геймплеем. Рекомендую!

Such a fun game, I play it with one of my friends and I plan on trying to get a bunch more people playing this game, the only issue is it doesn't have a player base, and it could have some bug fixes and stuff, but it's generally really fun, I just need more people to play it.

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 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.
