Solitarius

[h1]Before I played Solitarius, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]

The controls are awful. You can't play it in 1900x1080, sadly. And the game simply crashes if you tab out. Kinda insane, for something released in 2022. At least the royalty free music in the main menu is great.

"Solitarius" is more of a tech demo or a homework assignment than a real game, compared to the standards set for gaming in 2022 (Elden Ring, Total War: Warhammer III etc... and this, apparently) What do you do in the game? You're tasked with clearing six levels against waves of enemies, ultimately confronting a boss in each. The gameplay revolves around traversing levels using various weapons, some of which unlock as you progress. It's not implemented particularly well, the graphics suck, and of course for these reasons it was a complete and utter failure here on Steam. Check out the player count figures below. Or should I say "figure" (spoiler there). So this looks like an old 1990's Adobe Flash game that you might play in a web browser, and the problem there is obviously Steam wasn't intended to try compete with Chrome and Firefox. If it can be done in a web browser, it's not even close to a cutting edge PC gaming experience. That's a problem. 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 …

I dislike this game, Looks like it was developed by a solo developer in the early 2000s
