The good:

The bad:

Selling a badly compiled, barely working exec of it on Steam as a game.

We really liked this game - till it causes us unbearable physical pain after a hour or so. PHYSICAL PAIN!

Me and my Gf really like to play co-op games together. When I saw this title I was sure we will have a lot of fun with it. Really nice, adorable graphic, interesting, funny plot, lightly cynical humor, lot of positive reviews... I thought there is everything to have long hours of fun together.

I was wrong. :(

In most of the negative reviews ppl complain about problems they met after they progressed further in the game.
We had no opportunity to face those problems because every time we played the game our trigger-finger soon started to hurt badly. After 2-3 tries we had to give it up.
In this game you have to continually hold the trigger on your controller at least 80-90% of the time. Thats not a big deal for a few minutes but after half an hour it started to be very uncomfortable and caused cumulative pain.
Both of us had this trouble and there are other ppl complain about it on the forum. One of them suggested to make the trigger optionally work as a toggle instead of a hold button and that would probably solve our problem.

One of the devs promised to take care of it. That was more than half year ago and nothing happened.

I remember only one other game (and I have some) which causes us bodily pain. Its really sad I had to write this negative review. We expected a great game not a torture tool.

As I see the only real reason for so many positive reviews is some kind of PS1 (and others from that era) nostalgia. But I still cant understand it. Good PS1 games made 15-20 years ago had much better composed graph and animations, more interesting gameplay, worlds, overall design. In the late '90s this game would be mediocre at best. Two decades later its simply bad.
Good games remain good games even after decades. This one is far from catching up with them.

minimalist review for a minimalist game design:

- nice art
- great music
- various, creative levels
- elaborate physics

all those things make the classic game style fresh and enjoyable.

EDIT 2: After 4 months (...) I got a message from a dev about the achis are fixed now. I can verify it, so I change back my originally positive review to positive again.

EDIT:
I used to like this game, its a shame the devs abandoned it right after the release and didnt fix any bugs we reported.

I had to change my review to negative. Too bad. :(

/EDIT

Got it from a bundle. (I would be ashamed to say anything if I had bought it here.) Had to copy the drm-free version into its Steam dir to run it cuz the Steam version does not exist. (!!!) Got a "DirectX Jun2010 redist" there and nothing else.

And honestly that nothing is much better than the actual "game".

Its like an unfinished computer studies homework. Way below any standards.

Bought it - took no notice of the "Games for Windows Live" drm.

Faced the drm - considered it as a scam.

Learnt the lesson...

Went to gog.com and bought it drm-FREE.

Started the game, got this window:

"Create a PlayFab account to link with Steam"

Instant negative. Steam itself is more than enough drm.

And obsequious ppl can down vote this 1000 times, it won't change a thing about the fact that more conscious ppl are fed up with the unnecessary drm and 123. forced account.

"Greed (Latin, avaritia), also known as avarice, cupidity, or covetousness, is the inordinate desire to possess wealth, goods, or objects of abstract value with the intention to keep it for one's self, far beyond the dictates of basic survival and comfort."

from Wikipedia

Beautiful piece of art!

Its a point & click hidden object + puzzle game. It isnt too challenging, took me less than 3 hours to finish it and major part of that time was delight in the magnificent drawing. I think this game wasnt made to challenge ppl. Apart from the very last puzzle which wasnt an easy one, the whole game is about pleasure and relaxation.
I enjoyed it very much and I can truly recommend it to anyone.

Started the game and got this:

"Fractured Space - Login System Phase 1

We are in the process of building our final account system.

As a 1st step we are now logging in players even though there is no password component yet.

You just need to provide an email, wich we will bind to your Steam ID and log you in automatically when you launch the game.

Make sure you remember that email as it will serve as your login ID in the future

Enter your email to log in: __________"


For me its an instant NO. Steam itself is more than enough drm.
