No Time

Я угнала квадратную машину из кино... улетела в первый век нашей эры и врезалась в древнеримский забор!!! 😭 там Темми встретила саму себя из прошлого, временной континуум сделал БАБАХ, и злые Агенты Времени отобрали мои права и все хлопья!!! ПОМОГИТЕ ТЕММИ СБЕЖАТЬ ИЗ БУДУЩЕГО И КУПИТЬ ПЛУТОНИЙ!!!

I want to say "This game is a work of genius. A minecraft like inevitabilitiy that blazes the path that many will follow." And its true, I think the Dev is a genius. And I mean that. But don't buy this game, at least until 2030. The jank is so, so brutally bad that all my gushing is washed away in tedium and uncertainty, These problems will not be solved on a month based time scale. The game's instability firmly puts it into the "Gee I hope this part of the game/item actually functions this time" camp of games. "Gee, my car hit a small rock at 90% HP and exploded, I really hope the autosave actually worked this time." "Gee I hope this quest loads properly so I don't have to thread needles again for 15 minutes to come back here." "Gosh I clipped through the floor, I guess I have to re-do all that item fetching and input multiple, precise 12 number strings again." "Gosh, Oh Gosh, I just really hope the manual saves I pain stakingly prepared to protect myself from auto-save failures because I don't want to keep losing time work -THIS- time." "Wow the menu is suddenly gibberish. I guess I have to reload now." At its current rate of development, the game needs realistically 15 more years of development to be a full game. To fill out its enormous bones. I think we can settle for 5 years where hopefully just the bugs are gone. Earlier today a string of vehicle and save bugs, and 1 error of mine, blew about 2 hours of my time and my patience has reached its limits. I am realistically guessing 15%+ of my gametime is some kind of backtrack or failure mostly from bugs. So, yes, the game is a work of Genius. Yes, it seems (perhaps) to have spawned a new genre that will blossom in a decade or so. Yes, the assets are genuinely beautiful. This game has *soul*. Yes, the writing, perhaps occasionally over inflated, hits powerful notes. Yes, the premise and vibes are genuine and real and it hits. Yes, the jank will peel your f----- face off. Oh, and the game is based. If we assume the current global economic situation is not set to collapse in a few years then... Out of the mist in a few years a sterilized copy of this game will arrive out of a well funded "indie" studio. Perhaps you should just skip 'No Time' and wait for a real game with professional mechanics? Or should you wait and get this game after its bugs are fixed? Either way you are waiting 5 years minimum. If only you had a time machine to explore the best option to this conundrum. [spoiler] Buy this game. Give the dev his well earned money.[/spoiler]
