Orb of Creation

is good

Much preferred the early access version of the game. 1.0 feels overwhelming with mechanics just there to make you wait such as the garden, even though it's an active incremental game rather than an idle one.

Давненько пробовал играть... Попробовал сейчас снова и вспомнил почему забросил Игра сильно на любителя 1. Игра не определилась с жанром. Пытается влезть в несколько разных жанров (идл, кликер и что - то вроде паззла) но у нее это плохо выходит. Как идл дает смешное количество ресурсов для более менее быстрого развития, как кликер нет репетативности, куча щелчков, кулдауны и вынужденное ожидание идл маны и наконец как паззл где все в целом очевидно и надо больше кликать по разным кнопкам чем думать, составлять сложносвязанные билды и считать тонкие механики 2. Сильно перегружена механиками 3. Даже если дополз до одной автоматизации, обнаружишь что автоматизировалось далеко не все 4. Даже если поверишь автоматизации и оставишь игру работать... Развитие будет идти очень медленно. Пассивная генерация играет очень маленькую роль относительно активной В итоге игра превращается в ползанье по менюшкам с поиском того, что может ускорить прогресс и что ты забыл прокачать

Why the ♥♥♥♥ do you change up everything and delete the progress people made in the previous version?? I have to relearn everything bec I can't even remember where stuff used to be.

didnt really find any flow in it & was always confused

Didn't like it at all. Not what I expected or it took too long to get there.

On its shiny and slightly reflective face, Orb of Creation is about making a number go up, with pleasing sound design and a grooving soundtrack. Eventually it becomes about making ALL of the numbers go up. But equally importantly, Orb of Creation is an unfolding game, where the player needs to keep digging a little deeper to find the next complication, whether that is a new resource, a new spell, or an entirely new school of magic. It's a game that wants to entice seemingly endless amount of new thematic (thaumetic?) discoveries. The orb is not without its flaws. The gameplay is mostly menu navigation, and these nested menus are quite dense. If you want to understand what is going on, this game is going to require you to read, then experiment. You can muddle your way through a lot of it by simply clicking what's lit up, but combining spells, artifacts, alchemy processes and more will drastically multiply your ability to progress. The robust tooltip and keywording system provides a lot of detail, and allows simple text have broad and complicated impacts. The tooltips can be a little overwhelming, taking up most of the screen. Effect notifications can be muted when you no longer need the reminder. The full release brought a designated end point that I found satisfying, and a new game plus mode that has kept my interest. A 'run' of Orb of Creation seems too long for a roguelike, but replaying it with new conditions and modifiers has provided both a fun challenge and a reason to re-use the knowledge from my first run. While this gives it much more replay value, I recommend this game based on its first run through, not as something to retry dozens of times.
