Wreckdigger

What this game should have gotten - and is desperately missing - is a lot of polish. It controls fine with a controller, but the game only tells you the keyboard keys. The Inventory looks like a grid, but in order to get to the second row, you have to go to the right end... The story (as far as I could play) is minimal, but even the first characters use weird words an broken grammar like a automatic translation. You also need to keep talking to people until they repeat themselves... The first boss didn't spawn. To the credit of the developer, this bug was fixed. You can jump around and kill... other people (who, why?), but for some unfathomable reason, there is a hunger meter and you need to eat mushrooms every few minutes. Your bullets may be fast, but you need a fair few to down enemies, that just respawn when you come back. You can see the objects move into position before the screen fades during screen transitions... I wouldn't even mind it all that much if it where fun, but it isn't. After beating the first boss, I explored everywhere I could go, rescued some guy and got basically stuck with nowhere to go and nothing to do. From the rest of the game, the chances are pretty …

Great artstyle, fast pace, chill music. Some bugs along the way, but that does not diminish the fun

Steam is drowning in thousands of lazy, low-effort 2D platformers, and "Wreckdigger" is yet another one. I'm not kidding, there's over 17,000 platformers on Steam, almost all of them are garbage, amateur kitbashes. This is not one of the good ones. This "metroidvania" style platformer is a clunky mess to play, and the rather weak backstory about being stuck on a planet full of wrecked spaceships doesn't really make up for the even weaker gameplay and obsolete format. In the modern era of high quality bleeding edge PC gaming, these kinds of flat, lazy, lackluster platformers just don't cut it. Platforming is a dead genre for a reason. Even though this is "free", it failed to attract any interest for gamers here on Steam Direct for obvious reasons. This looks a lot like it was designed for consoles, but released on Steam instead by mistake. While this is on PC, it has all the hallmarks and deficiencies of a console game, from the clunkier than needed control scheme to the less than cutting edge graphics. There's 10's of thousands of PC games on Steam, and PC gamers deserve only the best. This might not appeal to many gamers due to the lack of PC-centric design. It's unclear…

It's frustrating. The controls are jank . Even the options menu is jank. There are no options really. It's almost as if whoever made this just made it to Bethesda or a bad joke.

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