Massive use of bad language; illogical
First: I played only the Demo, but when the demo will be gone, so the reviews, that's why I write it here. -- # Embarrasing dialogs The Demo starts at the beginning from the game and ends after the snow region. Theres about 3 or 4 minutes of dialog overall and in this minutes, you will hear words with "f-u-c-k*" nine times and the word "ass" two times. Of course games can include bad language, but in Relicta it is used in a way the seems to me like the game wants to be cool or something and that's dumb. # Buggy The puzzles are cool and the physics too, but the cubes can get stuck in a region where you can't reach them, so you have to use the menu to reset the whole puzzle... (don't tell me that's a feature) Also when you jump upon a cube, the player movement will be glitchy _every_ time! # Illogical Oh your character can't crouch (why?), but can jump... ok except in the base.. and not over a small fence while you're in a hurry to help some other scientist in trouble ("Yes they are maybe in danger, but solve this puzzle first and don't you ever think to just walk arround it, cause theres an alphawall, you badass!")... but hey: Nobody is perfect!1!11!! As some other reviewer here already says: the game has potential but doesn't use it and that's sad. The characters are interesting imho, the devs seemed to have the intention to get a good portion of diversity into them, cause they (all?) have some indian accent, and the daughter of the main character is lesbian (or maybe bisexual) and there is a good balance between female and male characters I think, I like this, that's what the gaming culture needs! Summary: The game need bugfixes, some tweaks and polish, then it would be great. Oh and please devs make that the player can see his or her own body (common theres a photo mode but I have only arms?) and the Angelica have her arms at the side when not using the gloves, cause else she must look like a zombie when standing and walking...
