The Path to Memento Mori

⠀

Do not play it right now. Give it some time before playing. The bugs are extremely annoying. You suddenly die, but your friends can still see your character and hear you, even though you already respawned.

One of the welcome, but now removed barriers to entry for game development was the steep skillset and budget needed to create the all too important game assets for any game. Well now FAB/Unreal Marketplace has removed that barrier... they were too busy thinking about whether or not they could that they forgot to consider whether they should. And "The Path to Memento Mori" is a prime example of the consequences... a bug riddled mess that should be carrying the "Early Access" warning. The Path to Memento Mori 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…

buggy mess

Started off good, then ended up lost in a maze, got bored wandering around, and quit. Rating: 1/10
