Bee Simulator

I like this game. A game were you play as a bee, gathering pollen and just buzzing around the place? Count me in! I never heard of this game before I bought it, it just popped up on GOG and it was cheap so I bought it for fun. And a lot of fun it was! You play as a bee in a colony and fly around to gather pollen, fight wasps or race other bees! You need to find the rarest flowers and you get to unlock funny little outfits for the bee and you get a lot of bee related information during loading screens. Slightly clunky controls but the game doesn't require pinpoint accuracy like Tetris or Space Invaders and the graphics is cute. I love the style they went for and I only wish we could play as a bumblebee but the again this is about honey bees. I would recommend this game as a slow, nice little way or relaxing. Not a very stressful game it's definately a nice change of pace compared to shooters.

Bee Simulator is an exploration and adventure game with collectathon and mini-game elements. Its story involves a beehive from the point of view of single honeybee controlled by the player. The game has educational value and serves it in an un-forced fashion - even the cutscenes are skippable. The texts needed more proofreading, though. > Gameplay The main game consists of flying around, collecting pollen, exploring the surroundings while completing the story. Different areas and types of "challenges" (mini-games) get unlocked while following the main quest. Completing the "feats" (achievements) is the other part of the game, it consists of filling the "glossary" (lexicon), succeeding in all mini-games, and finishing all sidequests. The achievements are on the easier side but two are missable if one continues the main quest before completing available side quests first which is very annoying in such a type of game. Earned "knowledge" points can be used to unlock 3D-models in the lexicon and cosmetic options for the main character. > Controls The controls are optimised for consoles. Most annoying is that remapped keys won't be reflected in tutorials, UIs, and menus. A "reset to default" option is missing. Many menus require a click to make the mouse cursor appear. At least the in-game controls are good. > Graphics The visuals are beautiful but limited. Again, optimised for consoles. The drawing distance is low, even on "Ultra" settings which is really annoying as the game encourages to collect rare flowers in quick succession but often that's unachievable because one cannot see where the next one is flying blindly around. Entities such as challenge markers also pop-up when close only. The general level of detail drops incredibly fast at small distances too. > Audio Some beautiful tracks in the music and the sound effects are nice. > Summary A fun, beautiful, and interesting game but with noticable flaws.

The gameplay is very limited: you have to pass through rings for almost everything (follow another bee, collect butter, etc.). The graphics are not as beautiful as the screenshots and the trailer, even in Ultra. Some bugs (black screens).

....and we loved it : D

it is excellent graphic and interesting story.
