✦ AI summary

Players are divided on Steel & Bone, with some appreciating its passionate design and depth in crafting, exploration, and base-building mechanics, particularly praising the demon king design. However, others criticize it as a janky student project with basic gameplay that frequently malfunctions, questioning whether academic exercises belong on Steam as finished products. The game appears to have interesting core ideas but suffers from technical issues and polish that limit its appeal as a complete experience.

"Steel & Bone" is one of literally thousands of student projects infesting Steam. It's from Ahlman Institute in Finland. While student projects tend to be better quality than most "amateur" made games, we must still question what value such projects have for gamers. As with all student projects, this isn't really a fully fleshed out game, it's just the result of an academic exercise, and as such it has much more limited value as a game than a professionally developed game would have. Educational institutions should not be using Steam as a dumping ground for homework assignments (especially if the students didn't even pass the course). Sure, it helps their marketing and helps the students feel good about themselves, but this is another case of a business putting themselves before the needs of gamers. The students made a laughably bad, incredibly repetitive, ultra shallow minimum viable product dungeon crawler, with bad graphics, bad assets, and laughably bad, shallow gameplay. The map layouts are nonsensical, and the whole thing is riddled with bugs that will never be fixed. Great if you like being shot through walls! In terms of visuals, this features fairly low quality lo…

The game may be janked to ♥♥♥♥ and back, and it may look and play like the kind of game you'd see in a sitcom, but honestly, I was able to feel the passion that went into this project, and, not gonna lie, that demon king design rocks. S+ to whoever came up with it.

Игра "Steel & Bone" оказалась приятным сюрпризом. Это не просто очередной клон жанра выживания, а проект с интересными механиками и собственной душой. Система крафта довольно глубокая и позволяет создавать как базовые инструменты, так и сложные механизмы. Исследование мира вознаграждается находками редких ресурсов и чертежей, что постоянно подстегивает интерес к изучению новых территорий. Боевая система может показаться поначалу простой, но со временем открываются различные тактики и возможности, особенно при взаимодействии с другими игроками. Строительство базы – ещё одна сильная сторона игры. Можно возводить не только убежища, но и оборонительные сооружения, которые жизненно необходимы для отражения атак противников. Однако, стоит отметить, что игра все еще находится в раннем доступе, и некоторые аспекты требуют доработки. Оптимизация, порой, оставляет желать лучшего, и встречаются небольшие баги. Несмотря на это, "Steel & Bone" имеет огромный потенциал, и я с нетерпением жду, как она будет развиваться дальше. Рекомендую всем любителям выживалок, которые ищут что-то новое и оригинальное.
