The Ai Games

⠀

The AI Games, developed by Ryan Saunders and published by One Man Media, is an incredibly barebones and poorly optimized indie project that unfortunately runs out of steam within the first five minutes. Spending exactly 30 minutes inside this free-to-play title is more than enough to realize that the gameplay loop is practically non-existent, leaving you with very little to actually interact with.You are dropped into a completely barren, uninspired environment with stiff movement physics and clunky interactive elements that feel broken out of the box. The hit registration is completely mismatched, and the overall user interface looks like a default engine layout template thrown together in a single afternoon without any testing. There are no game modes with real mechanical depth, no clear scoring targets, and zero interesting rewards to unlock as you move around. It feels more like a raw, unfinished homework assignment rather than a complete product. While it respects your Steam profile by omitting useless tracking achievements, it simply fails to respect your actual leisure time. You are better off skipping this one entirely.

This is garbage. I understand this is probably 1-man project, but everything is so basic it feels like asset flip - just on Unreal Engine, instead of Unity. A lot of spelling problem and taking huge amount of storage space, just because textures are high resolution.

I only have this because the dev gave free keys out and with that being said this game is pure ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. I got softlocked in the tutorial, the story is nonsense, this game is the definition of an asset flip.

[quote][b][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/b] "The Ai Games" is one of literally thousands of creatively bankrupt asset flips infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere.[/quote] This is a really low quality Unreal asset flip, a basic third person shooter, a bunch of random Unreal assets dumped on a third person shooter game blueprint, rushed onto Steam Direct with a price tag on it. Why the price tag? How else is this guy going to get YOUR money for someone else's Unreal assets? So, "The Ai Games" is partially or completely made up of stock assets, "borrowed" from asset stores and free asset websites. Little, if anything in this game is the creation of the "developer". While there's no up front price for this asset flip, the other problem with asset flips is that when developers aren't capable of doing their job and creating high quality assets, it's also true they can't do any of the rest of the job of a game developer either. That's definitely true for "The Ai Games", and this kind of asset flipping never results in games that have quality or value for PC gamers. The technical execution of this…
