Thoughts on AC MOTOE demo
Those are my subjective thoughts on the demo played during the steam next fest.


  • Its set in modern day, which I noticed little phones, little wierd that they still behave the old ways, like keeping notes etc
  • finally something different from the previous AC games
  • it feels and looks low budget
  • devs look to be doing the best they can, i wish they had more resources, ie. time and budget, chicken and a egg problem with the sales vs resources
  • graphically nothing revolutionary, but at least its stylized and runs great
  • not enough options in menu
  • i.e half V-sync is missing
  • running animation is broken (tested on xOne) actually speed seems to not change
  • enocuntered bug(possibly game breaking), i inspected ratchets room 203, inspected 204,asked ms Hubbard, interwieved Michel, then i completed the detective minigame who is the closest passanger(and probably at the same time ratchets employees too) and suddenly i was teleported to Ratchets room, with the words im finished here. then i could again knock on the 204 room where miss hatchet would be shocked again and then she sat at the bed while another miss hatchet was already sitting there :), ended up stuck looking at this scene, couldnt control Hercule, see screenshot
  • the animation where he complimets himself for good deduction is cringe imho
  • I like the addition of lipsync, can't really complain about it not looking like big budget AAA titles though
  • unskippable launch intro
  • the game could use a narrator, intro game sequence felt like something was missing, like a cutscene
  • I could acces all characters (joanna is without the portrait) in the menu, even though Ididn't meet them yet/ didn't acces the passanger list
  • camera is little janky, for example how it snaps with character when trying to open doors
