Wake (2010)

[h1] Very blurry and not much enjoyable. It comes with Lunnye Devitysy package so I can't get rid of it. Lesson for the future - don't buy bundles with janky games. [/h1]

Never before have I seen such a good game have such a low score... hell, I've barely seen games with this low score unless they are literally broken and can't be played. 27% positive for what I'd give an 8/10 seems insane to me. The game has one mechanic (climbing) that feels quite clunky at times, but otherwise it's a brilliant little platformer. The way the ship sways and slightly rotates and how it affects gravity is a great mechanic I'd love to see in other games. The way that the water rises and changes the way you traverse the different areas is likewise a great mechanic. The game is very short, took me 24 minutes to beat on the first difficulty, which then unlocks the next and so on, four in total. The second difficulty has the water rise slightly faster, the third difficulty has the water rise much faster and the final difficulty has the water replaced with lava (I will never beat this one lol.) The only thing the game lacks is a bit more randomization, as it is its mostly if you get to an area before the water or after which changes things from run to run, but there's also multiple routes you can take and even three different exit points. I'd have loved to see the ship la…

good

An interesting premise, cool graphics and ok music, but it gets boring and a little frustrating after a bunch of runs.

Far too much focus was made on making it so you can't see anything, but if you can make it past that you get to explore a sinking ship and that's super cool.

Buggy, blurry, slow, overly post-processed mess.
