With keyboard and mouse all cars behave extreme unrealistic


About certain people wrongfully claiming that this is a "simulation":
Pressing W is the same as stepping fully down on the gas pedal. No real car in this world goes then into an endless circle on the spot.

Bugged and full of annoyances. These devs clearly didn't EVER play the game themselves or listen to players:

• If you want to make a deal with a fellow player and give him/her 1000$, then you have to click 1000x on the "+1 $" button (no joke!). If the AI player declines, you have to increase your offer. So the clicking orgy begins again ... and again ... !!!
  **facepalm**
  
  
• Whenever you can not buy houses and hotels a software restart is the only possibility to resolve the problem
  
  
• You see only the little part of the board where your figure is. The rest is blurred.
  
  
• Unskippable animations of the fellow AI players. It gets nerv-wrecking.
  
  
• Max resolution is 2560 x 1440
  
  
• Steam printscreen (F12) crashed the game

Stanislav Lem is a great name and the reason I bought The Invincible.

Unfortunately this is not even a game. This software is the pinacle of boredom. All you can do is walking nerve wrecking sluggish along a scripted path and when a white circle appears: You have to click on it. Then the dim-wit protagonist babbles something trivial or does someting trivial. What ever you chose in the dialogue menu: It doesn't matter!

If you can't walk at all: Look around, there must be a white circle. Found it? Click on it! Now you can continue your sluggish way along the scripted path and discover more white circles.

Really, that's not a joke: You don't even have to think what is important and what you should do like in an adventure game.These devs put everthing they want you to do inside a big, fat white circle. The only thing you can do in this "game" is to click on it. This is not even a "walking simulator" oir adventure where you have to solve puzzles.

From the Steam Discussion Board in case people don't believe that such a piece of scrap software really got sold as a game:

All in all it's the epitome of boredom.

We play only games with NO ACTIVISTS of any kind involved. Games are strictly for recreation and not a platform for political agendas.


Inside the game System Era Softworks announced that "Happy Pride Event" with an LBTQ rainbow picture which is clearly activism.


No recommendation for System Era Softworks and Astroneer.

UPDATE:
I AM CURRENTLY DETERMINED TO FIND OUT HOW THE GAME WORKS. I UPDATE MY REVIEW LATER.


UNFINISHED ABANDONWARE - DON'T BUY

2020: people said, it has no tutorial because the game is still in development.
Now 2024: And the game still has NO TUTORIAL and NO HINTS of what you can do or how you do wathever you can do ...

You begin the game and you have absolutely no idea what to do. All you have is the vague promise of the sell page video that somehow you should be able to build factories.

Horrible!

I press all buttons on my keyboard, I click with my mouse everywhere on the screen: nothing happens. Only ESC works, it stops the game.

I know what this AlgoBot has to do, he must press a button. But he simply doesn't do it. You can press keys, drag and drop, click, double-click, scream, bang your head in the wall ... AlgoBot isn't impressed and does not press that button.

The game has no tutorial, it explains nothing except "algobot must press that key". But AlgoBot obvioulsy doesnt want. Restarting the game, because maybe there was a missed hint, not possible.

My best guess: I need a controller to play that game. Or a VR-set? Mouse and keyboard is obviously not working.

Devs and studio clearly fail in explaining anything!


Steam: "Do you recommend this game?" - Me: "Stay away from this scam and save your money and nervs. F*ck this!".

The game might be good, but the forum is very toxic, trolls dwelling there and every question I asked got a few toxic answers. I'm not going back.

The steering is total sh*t. They clearly made this game for consoles, NOT for PC.

It's a pity because otherwise the game would be really cool from setting and story. But it's unplayable ...

To move I must hold middle mouse button or press a key permanently in addition to WASD, hand gets cramped, and the view is rotating strange and weird.

Hands down, was the last time I bought a game with "full controller support". I should have understood that as a warning that this game is NOT made for keyboard and mouse.

AbandonWare.

It's a ported game from smartphones and it's NOT WORKING with Windows 11

Resolution can't be adjusted and the game crashs every two minutes (!)

Steam does NOT refund.

Indulge in that: Steam is selling AbandonWare which isn't working with Windows 11 and not refunding (!)
