Niko: Through The Dream

A mixture of puzzles that are either logical and satisfying, exceedingly obvious, or completely random. Many levels are about as reflex demanding as a waling sim, but once in a while they'll throw in a demanding precise platforming level. This kind of variety would probably be enjoyable if the level quality was consistently decent, but it's not. Some of the platforming is really fun, but even then it's always held back by a physics model that has a huge amount of momentum, making it very hard not to plummet to your death or at least have to restart your climb over and over. As for the puzzles at first they are fun, but after about 3-4 hours they devolve from "interesting" to "obvious but still hard because the game is glitchy and won't let you do what you are obviously supposed to do". I quit the game once I got to an area where some floor tiles would randomly not detect you were touching them, but would work the next time you started the game. This sounds like a puzzle, but it's not; the puzzle was making sure you touched every tile exactly once (this is the marble level, in case anybody's wondering). That said, I did have some real enjoyment before that point, and if on sale it's probably worth it if you like puzzle platformers with walking sim elements and aren't a Completionist.

Тот случай, когда вроде и не хочется ставить палец вниз, но надо. Игра состоит из двух не связанных частей. Сразу нас встречает неплохой рисованный ролик, кое- где по игре попадаются арты, в конце тоже небольшой ролик. Кому-то может не понравиться стиль или некоторая бессвязность, но, как по мне- красиво. Это была лучшая часть. Основная часть игры- это 18 уровней, представляющих из себя различные головоломки. Где-то платформинг, где-то логика, где-то раннер. Это все и играется так себе, и выглядит как набор самых простых ассетов. Визуально понравился разве что предпоследний уровень. В общем- не советую.

Niko: Through The Dream is an older game from 2015. It's a venerable 10 years old at the time of this review. It looks like an esoteric minimalist puzzler akin to games like Portal and Q.U.B.E but it's more of a platformer... so I'm told. Due to defects or just plain bad design, you can't reall get into the full game, instead you start up on an island, you can go into a temple with a plant in it, and onto another island where four little pedestals pop up if you go near them. That's all there is to the game now, apart from jumping off the edge, and even that doesn't end the pain as you restart the game and are stuck with the same simple environment with no way to unlock more gameplay. What a pointless exercise... did they not test the game to make sure the rest of it is accessible? From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. You can't set 4K resolution even if your monitor advertises it because the game weirdly assumes you're using a 16:10 monitor even if you're not... what a weird defect but again it's apparent the developer never tested the game before publishing it. The game features lazy minimalist/untextured low-polygon "retro" assets and visuals, making this look like a barely functional 3D game from the early 1990s. The lack of textures is a method that lazy devs often use to disguise their lack of talent/interest in doing the graphics properly and trying to disguise it under the name of "art", or "We made it look bad on purpose", which really isn't something gamers should have to put up with. It's unclear why the developers weren't willing to arrange high quality, high polygon count contemporary assets and high resolution textures for the game. It looks bad as a result of their decisions, and that's just another reason to avoid it. The controls and game handling are notably very clunky and unsmooth here. It's janky and unsatisfying to play... and any experienced gamer will tell you, the handling, responsiveness and general gameplay feel of the control scheme must be well polished for this kind of game to succeed. Unfortunately, this is something the developer seems to have phoned in, with little to no apparent gameplay testing. They dropped the ball on this one. The controls can't be customised, which will be an annoyance for many, but it can also render the game unplayable for differently-abled gamers, left handed gamers or gamers using AZERTY or other international keyboard layouts. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. So, should you buy this game? Is this one of the best of the 110,000+ games on Steam? Niko: Through The Dream has the greedy, cash grab price of around $10 USD, it's not worth it given the defects and shortcomings with the product, especially considering the sheer number of completely free, much higher quality games on Steam. Yeah, ten bucks for a game that doesn't even work properly. For comparison, the $10 asking price for this game could get you games like "Bioshock Infinite", "Stellaris" or "Dishonored 2". Quality, professionally made games like those are frequently on sale cheaper than this.

Вполне себе годная головоломка за свою цену
