s&box

While great in concept, the game backfired spectacularly. It's all slop as far as the eye can see. Maybe the situation will get better over time but for now as a player it's dead in the water. As a dev, it's an amazing opportunity to make something great with these new tools, though.

It's a very fun and promising platform. Yes, it still needs a lot of work, but I think they are on the right track to create something great. S&box is basically Roblox, GMod and a game engine merged into one platform. There are already very cool games available and some cool projects in development that can be played. Yes, there are also many slop games, but I think the more good games are released, the more the bad games will vanish into insignificance. Some additional info to show how cool this platform is: [*] There is a Play Fund by Facepunch. When you make games and people play them, they give you money. Yes, it's real. You can read more about it [url=sbox.game/news/the-play-fund-838fff99]here[/url]. [*] You can make games with s&box and release them as a standalone game on Steam without licensing fees.

Купил значит я игру, думал ну просто гмод. Никаких проблем с запуском игр не будет... Фатальная ошибка. Пытаясь зайти в разные режимы и карты у меня просто переставала грузить то ошибка то ещё хрень какая. И это уже не говоря то что на старте я уже столкнулся с багами, также слетали настройки. Я посмотрел в интернете как это чиниться в итоге того что помогло это исправить я не нашёл. И за эту игру я хочу вернуть деньги, и я их вероятно верну.

I had extremely low expectations from this game, and somehow those expectations were not met.

I don't think I've seen a game or platform this truly repulsive from an otherwise respected developer right out of the gate. As a development platform, it's a joke compared to industry standards, and as a game, it's a joke when compared to even it's own begrudging predecessor gmod, let alone that and roblox. I genuinely don't understand what future the devs at facepunch see with the platform at this point, five years or so spent making something that feels 10% complete months after launch with no player growth, this is like the polar opposite trajectory gmod went through when it was new, and people still talk like a few updates are going to solve everything. Don't waste your 20 bucks, if you wanted roblox, play roblox, if you wanted gmod, play gmod. this caters to neither group and actively alienates everyone else. What a disappointment, I'd refund it if I could, but I can't now because I foolishly gave the benefit of the doubt and waited for it to improve past the 30 day limit, don't make my mistake.

This full release of a "game" had placeholder faces.

Used for creating games, but somehow made source 2 perform worse than the ue5 slop engine.
