Dear Diary,
As always, I’m long overdue for a new entry. There’s a bunch of games which I’ve completed since the previous update, but I’ll slowly cover them one at a time.
Today, I decided to pick up this game which I found from Astats. 0.7 hours to 100%, so it shouldn’t take too long. Mostly Negative reviews? That’s fine, I’ve played a few of those before for the 100%, so this one shouldn’t be too bad.
Fast forward ten minutes, and I’ve basically given up. Normally I have an extremely high tolerance for bad games, but this game is something else. The game is lucky that I was willing to give it an honest attempt for ten minutes.
The game is advertised as a typical racing game. Drive forward in a vehicle and navigate past obstacles. You get a gun to shoot at obstacles in your way… only the gun doesn’t do anything. The car’s going down the road which appears to have three lanes. The middle lane has a bunch of barrels that explodes and causes me to instantly die and the other two lanes have a concrete wall that I can’t seem to shoot down, so I basically just have to run into the wall.
But wait, it gets worse. I’m not even pressing up or anything, and the car decides to accelerate at an alarming rate by itself. Eventually it reaches ludicrous speeds that my brain can’t even process. Eventually, my car just goes out in a blaze of glory and I get a nice game over screen.
That couldn’t be right, how are people completing this game in 0.7 hours? After about three deaths and having to exit the game twice because the restart button somehow causes my car to forget how to accelerate, I decide to check Steam for guides.
Turns out, you just can just let the game sit in the game over screen and have it cross the finish line. The car goes in an excruciatingly slow pace after you die though, so now I’m just sitting here typing up this entry because I have a few moments to burn. I even had to restart the level a few times because apparently, it doesn’t count if my car starts traveling underneath the floor due to some other bug after the game over screen is reached.
Normally, I try to find a glimmer of hope in every bad game, but I’m at a loss.
I can honestly save I have no good words for this game.
The game is riddled with game-breaking bugs. I hate to use such words, but this game is literally unplayable.
How did a game like this even get on Steam?
Well, looks like I spoke too soon. I managed to complete the last level legitimately, so I will take back that literally unplayable comment.
Yours Truly,
Tumalu
does it at least have cards?
It does! Guess that is one good thing about it. :)
