Star Overdrive

english below français: Ok, j'ai découvert l'existence du jeu via sa démo, qui m'avait, à l'époque, beaucoup plu. Ce qui n'est pas le cas du jeu entier maintenant que j'ai pu le finir. Commençons par le commencement : Pour le positif: - Le jeu à un style graphique très épuré mais qui marche très bien, je n'ai rencontré aucun bug et aucune perte de fps tout du long, la carte est très sympa à parcourir (sauf vers la fin, j'y reviendrai), et les pouvoirs que débloque le héros sont quasi tous intéressant. Pour le négatif : - L'overboard peut-être très capricieux à certains moment rendant certains mouvement insupportable, et certaines zones du jeu rendent l'expérience de surf assez contraignante (la zone de verdure et les montagnes notamment). - Les combats sont moyens et sur la fin ont se retrouvent avec des pack d'ennemi demandant chacun d'utiliser un pouvoir précis rendant le tout confus et le personnages et les animations sont assez lente. -L'histoire est banal au possible, sans spoilé, on se est perdu sur un planète supposément hostile pour retrouver notre compagne, sauf qu'a la moitié du jeu on voit arriver à des kilomètres ce qu'il va se passer à la fin. -Un arbre de talent passable qui n'apporte pas grand chose et un système d'amélioration de l'overboard assez incompréhensible, ce qi m'amène à un autre point : -Beaucoup trop d'activités secondaire/collectibles assez inutile allant du cosmétiques pour modifier son surf à des "donjons" entier pour des points de compétences. -La musique, pendant la démo et les qulques vidéos que j'avais pu voir du jeu je m'attendais à un style éléctro/pop/synthwave le personnage se battant en plus avec une keytar... Mauvaise surprise de se retrouver avec une BO de rock ultra banale et de toute façon absente dans 80% du jeu (0 musique quand on surf). Y'a pleins de petit points négatif ou positif dont je n'ai pas parlé, certains pour ne pas spoil, d'autres par oubli. En conclusion je pense que le jeu incarne parfaitement le moyen, et j'aurai aimé un bouton "neutre" pour les évaluations steam. Quand le jeu marche, notamment quand on se balade en overboard, c'est une expérience plaisante, mais le jeu à tout de même pas mal de défaut. Si vous aimez les monde ouvert rétro futuriste avec du puzzle allez-y. English : Okay, I discovered the game through its demo, which I really enjoyed at the time. But now that I’ve finished the full game, I can’t say the same. Let’s start from the beginning: The good: The game has a very clean, minimalist art style that works really well. I didn’t encounter any bugs or frame rate drops throughout my playthrough. The map is fun to explore (except toward the end—I’ll get back to that), and almost all the powers you unlock for the hero are interesting. The bad: The overboard can be very finicky at times, making certain movements frustrating, and some areas (especially the green zone and the mountains) make the surfing experience quite tedious. The combat is mediocre, and by the end, you face groups of ennemies that each require a specific power, making everything confusing. The character and animations are also quite slow. The story is as cliché as it gets. Without spoiling, you’re lost on a supposedly hostile planet trying to find your companion, but halfway through, you can already see the ending coming from a mile away. The skill tree is underwhelming and doesn’t add much, and the overboard upgrade system is confusing, which leads me to another point: There are way too many unnecessary side activities and collectibles, ranging from cosmetic surf customizations to entire “dungeons” just for skill points. The music, based on the demo and the videos I’d seen, I expected an electro/pop/synthwave style, especially since the character fights with a keytar… But the soundtrack is just generic rock, and it’s missing in 80% of the game (no music while surfing). There are plenty of other small positives and negatives I haven’t mentioned—some to avoid spoilers, others I’ve just forgotten. In conclusion, I think this game is the definition of “average.” I wish Steam had a “neutral” rating button. When the game works, especially when you’re cruising on the overboard, it’s a pleasant experience, but it still has quite a few flaws. If you like retro-futuristic open worlds with puzzles, give it a try.

Отзыв скорее нейтральный чем, положительный. 1. Большой пустой открытый мир. В нём буквально ничего не происходит. Вечный день. 2. Нет русского языка, но если подшаманить с руссификатором из обсуждений он работает. 3. Приятно кататься на ховерборде и тут же переходить в режим схватки. 4. Нет маркеров и указателей. Догадаться какой рычаг и где дёрнуть чтобы что-то сработало нужно самому. 5. Меня одолел первый босс в каком-то подземелье с кубами, когда нам дают гравипушку. Дальше желание играть отпало. Если хотите решать загадки в стиле "угадайкакойкабелькудаподключается" можете смело брать. Если нет, просто пройдите мимо.

I've been giving this a shot since I was searching for something like Zelda and I hav emoderate expectations since people is saying good thing about this game: Pros: - Hoverboard: I've never seen anything like this in any other game, moving around is FUN and it is the core of the game - Combat: the powers of the keytar makes it incredibly satisfying and creative, and the hoverboard that helps you in combat its a nice touch to give even more variety - Story: Nous is a great character, towards the end is a bit too emotional and I didn't expect that - World: exploration is interesting and the world is big, but you never feel overwhelmed by the content since you move very fast with the overboard. - Puzzles: they are the right balance, they don't treat me like if I was dumb. - Polish: I did not encountered any visible problem Cons: - The content does not seems to match the Zelda one, is a much smaller game - Crafting is just there, but is not an highlight of the game and I feel thay could do something more - The jump pad tutorial it's hard and I had to whatch youtube to pass it. - Sometimes I have a general sense of "roughness", but it's an indie title so it's ok. Conclusions: Star Overdrive it's a unique experience that I recommend for everyone that is searching something little different.

"Star Overdrive is a game that, I must say, really surprised me. It immediately throws you into a visually intriguing world where the best part is, obviously, the hoverboard. The surfing in this game feels incredible; the feedback and physics you get from the board and the character are top-notch. Add to that the ability to upgrade the hoverboard's stats, increasing speed, propulsion, power, etc. (no major spoilers here), and it makes the whole experience even more dynamic and exciting. ​The puzzle elements in the challenges are also a great addition. Taking inspiration from Zelda, they still manage to give the environment and the puzzles their own unique identity, making them thoroughly enjoyable and fun. Lastly, I have to mention the music: throughout this entire journey, you're accompanied by an amazing rock soundtrack that pumps up the gameplay even more. ​I highly, highly recommend it."

Well writen dialogue, good tunes! When it comes to the mechanical gameplay I did feel like I was constantly going out of logic and fighting the controls/physics. A lot of objectives and items feel almost unreachable and even after completing the story I don't think I'd enjoy 100%ing the game just from the effort I'd have to put into manouvering a hoverboard that feels like it could've been a lot smoother. I am sure that there are some things you can do with the crafting system to improve that experience to a degree, but it was pretty convoluted and not very well explained so I just kept dumping items and eventually I think my board was good enough, I beat the game with it after all.

类塞尔达游戏，优点：滑板操纵感强，配合手柄体验很丝滑；缺点：引导比较少，因为游戏热度比较低所以网上攻略比较少。不过整体游玩体验还是不错的，虽然有些地方的谜题令人抓狂，不过相应的认真思索后解开谜题也会获得很强的成就感。
