Long Time No See

[h1][b]Long Time No See[/b][/h1] - історія розповідає, як важливо говорити одне з одним та прогорювати свої почуття прямо, а ще, дати розуміння, що зміна стосунків у дружбі = не дорівнює кінець дружби і те, як важливо вислухати одне одного. [h2][b]Коротко, про що там:[/b][/h2] Сюжет розповідає про трьох дітей: Ейвері, Майло та Лукас. Після того, як вони перевелися до інших шкіл, вони дуже довго не розмовляли, та з настанням Геловіну, вони зустрілися у моторошному закинутому будинку, та після невдалої гри, вони чують дивні звуки, що за цим шумом ховається? Щось містичне? Зловісне? [h1][b]З переваг виділю:[/b][/h1] Мені сподобався візуальний стиль, а також - непогано намальовані фони, ще й привид вийшов дуже милим, а також - сенс історії дуже сподобався. [h2][b]З недоліків виділю:[/b][/h2] ДУУУЖЕЕЕ нудний сюжет, який ГЕТЬ не затягає і не тримає темп ВЗАГАЛІ, я буквально мав бажання просто закрити цю гру та видалити, настільки була нецікава історія, хоч коротка, але розчарувала, а ще - український переклад не найкращий, таке відчуття, ніби це зовсім не діти розмовляють, аж занадто складні конструкції, як для дітлахів. Як висновок скажу: гра не вартує вашого часу. Темп розповіді не вміє тримати, подача нудна максимально, та переклад бажає кращого. Ставлю 3.5/10.

VERY cute. I went into this one expecting a light-hearted spoooOOOooky ghost adventure, and while it absolutely [i]is[/i] that, it is also a little more on the "heavy" side of things as far as the non-ghostie parts. I went in expecting a G rating, and pretty much got a PG-13. I'm not meaning for this to sound like there is violence or anything (there is ZERO violence), it's just on the emotional end of things. If this game looks good to you, you should definitely check it out. The art is great, it's extremely easy to finish, and it only takes 20-30 minutes to get to the end.

Un gioco breve ma molto piacevole. Nonostante la semplicità della trama, il gioco riesce a trasmettere un messaggio profondo sull'importanza dei legami e dei ricordi condivisi.

Gratuit, court et mignon.

"Long Time No See" is a short simple tech demo of a game (maybe a student project?) IT's a simple point and click adventure that could have been done with Adobe Flash or in a web browser... and we all know Steam isn't really intended to compete with Chrome and Firefox. It's only about 30 minutes long, and hard to recommend due to the brevity and simple 2D nature of the game. The game features really lacklustre 2D visuals (does the developer not know 3D graphics became mainstream in the mid-1990s?). Gamers don't spend thousands of dollars on gaming rigs and the latest 3D graphics cards to play 2D games. Even mobile phones and game consoles can do 3D graphics now. There's no excuse. On the matter of pricing and value for gamers, most "free" games on Steam aren't really free. There's often nasty mobile app cash shops, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, or any other number of shady pricing schemes that could mislead gamers, but in this case I'm glad to say this really does appear to be a fully free game. Nothing demonstrates a developers belief in themselves and their work than giving it away without any remuneration. This is a service to themselves, and the gaming industry, and should be applauded. Of course, just because something is free, doesn't necessarily mean it's valuable, or something you might want to spend your time on. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 4 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? This is a "maybe" experience... if you have a lot of free time on your hands and nothing else to do, why not? But for the purposes of a review, this isn't something I can say everyone must try. It's not quite there. Valve doesn't give us a "maybe" option in reviews, but if they did, that's what I'd choose for this.

Very cute, very short easy game that works if you are bored and looking to kill some time.

I mean... its okay. Its a short coming-of-age visual novel with 10 collectibles and one puzzle. But it is free, and I sure do appreciate that!
