FUMES

fumes is an amazingly underrated game. its so fun, the atmosphere and artstyle is so cool and the multiplayer update made it even better. highly recommend and i look forward to every update to come

It's like Twisted Metal, Smuggler's Run, and Mechwarrior had a beautiful angelic baby and raised him to be a Kvass brewer in eastern Europe.

Pure retro fun

The game is fun, very fun. But it constantly deletes my save file. I'll be 20 hours in and the game just deletes it all, poof, gone, delete-O. vanished. It's the worst. I can not tell you how annoying it is to lose EVERYTHING in a moment for no reason. Don't get it if you value your time.

One of the rare games I come back to. Really good for early access and the devs really listen to the community and often give updates on their work. Most people complaining don't appreciate how much work making a game is when you got a small team. From a technical standpoint really impressive stuff!

Very fun with friends, a lot of content that doesn't get stale and a lot of progression and things to unlock. Definitely worth the money id estimate at least 50 hours of gameplay to complete, though very difficult if you've never played a car game since it can be very hard to control at times and you need to have good knowledge of what the stats mean when modding your car. The weapons and everything else plays very smoothly, definitely a game worth playing.

SEX 2.0 and 3,0

as an early access title this game already has the groundwork for a fun, streamlined game. the addition of co-op is already fantastic in its first iteration! though it definitely needs tlc, while player stacking in the scrapper is funny, it simply cannot be this way lol. it would also be nice if missions/activities could be started without the entire group present, or, forcing a start.

I was SUPER excited when I saw this game, it looks really sick. And even if my review is mostly focusing on negatives, I feel like there's still a good base on which the game could be great. I'd play more if it weren't for the 2 hour refund window, as in general the game got really repetitive almost instantly and I'd like to see if it stopped being repetitive. But in the 2 hours I played if you did 1 mission you've done them all basically. Even bosses it doesn't matter, they all feel the same, every enemy feels the same too aside from how tanky they are. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Positives: - Love the attitude/style - The menus and HUD being "physical" is really charming and way too rare in games - The art is mostly nice and charming (minor nitpick about texel density when it comes to art) - Feels pretty satisfying driving around and shooting - Music and sound effects is all solid (the filter on the enemy chatter is kind of fatiguing on your ears though) - I like that you can switch between a bunch of filters and stuff ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Negatives: 1. Aside from being more consistent with hitting your shots with a mouse, there's like no skill expression? - It doesn't matter how you drive, going off jumps or anything does nothing gameplay-wise and you can't meaningfully manipulate enemies to crash into hazards much or something. (walls, explosives, fire, oil etc) - There's like no decision making required in neither movement nor combat. - You can't meaningfully dodge or outmaneuver enemies in any fun way, you just hold on to your gas and spray bullets until enemies die. - Even if the driving and shooting is pretty basic, at least there could be critical ways to deal damage, weak spots, hazards you can use against them, ram them off cliffs etc would all at least give me something to do aside from "hold button 1 and button 2 until enemies dead". - There's also no enemy reactions. Like in an fps game dealing a certain amount of damage in a short enough time span might stagger an enemy, which in turn might affect their behavior. Here they just take it going from 100 to 0. - The terrain in the 2 hours I played was also mostly just flat ground, the few objects scattered around mostly didn't matter to gameplay. At most they'd obstruct some bullets flying around for a sec. --- 2. Extremely repetitive enemy/boss encounters, after you've done one you've done them all. --- 3. The UI is extremely unnecessarily clunky, so many clicks and button presses that could be mitigated. It's also not clear what each button press is about to do really. Like yea you can figure it out but for how simple the functions are it's oddly hidden in multiple menus when it feels like it could be streamlined. It's not like most of those things seemed to matter much anyway. The menu is borderline unusable with a controller so switched to kb+m - Why even have to go to the big mechanic truck to upgrade guns you're already using? Finishing enemy encounters doesn't give you anything exciting and all you really get is more of guns you already have, and you can then drive off to a truck and "merge" those guns onto your identical ones, which is just sort of boring incremental stat boosts like "+0.3 damage". Those types of stat boosts are never fun imo but even then it should not be a button you have to DRIVE to just to apply it. There's seemingly no reason I wouldn't want to apply it so.. just apply it... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
