Honest question, are the reviews bought?

[Elon Musk]

No offense right now but when I'm reading through some reviews saying stuff like "this is the best inventory management game" I really wonder

I was playing the game for around 5 hours, while the game itself is okay-ish, a little bit bad that is has no meta progression (which is probably fine for many people, but I like meta progression because it is something to work for) and in all honesty it is by far NOT "the best inventory management game" I couldn't even say which game might use this title but this ain't it.

What is more concerning to me is that the game is not even in early access and was full released with this little content. Imho the price should've been set to 5€ original price then this game would be fully worth its price.

Tho, I like the leaderboard for every single character.

I don't know if it got overhyped by some content creator or if the reviews are just bought by the devs.

not bought, it's easy to spot if they are by looking at the profile of the reviewer, also you can check the player count.

the game description mentions rogue-like, which means no meta progression, but people still expect it for some odd reason.

Maybe not bought, but HandOfBlood ( one of the publisher ) did a "shoutout", that people shouldn't negative review it. When they don't like it, they should refund it and post nothing negative to it. So you can say, it is a little bit manipulated ^^

Thanks for the reply, I'm not saying thats the negative point about the game! I'd love to see meta progression in games like these, but its okay if there is none as I still wanna enjoy the gameplay :P

But overall speaking it is not "the best management game" it is just okay to play

Got a question, when you start the run, you can choose the tree u wanna run, if you don't pick a branch, will it be randomly choosen? or if you dont pick a tree, its just not there at all? So you can make a run "naked" without any buffs, is that the intention?

And like I said, my concern is that its the 1.0 release with this little content, the 150+ equipment sounds more than it actually is

Also the starts are usually with the same cheap equipment, you can reroll as often as you like but it doesn't change anything, same is applied to high runs, when you are at a high stage, why is there still the lowest tier items in the shop with grey quality? I feel like at some point the lowest tier items should have a minimum rarity like be at stage 20 and lowest tier appears only in blue or higher f.e., gotta say though the maximum tier increases in shops (or atleast the probability they appear)

Also a few branches at the passives tree don't make any sense, like u get 10% + 10% of stat z if you choose it, but if you choose another branch you get 10% of stat y and 25% of stat z, why even choose the other branch?

I feel like the passives tree would be really cool if it had more branches, I like the idea.

[axilirate]

yea, if you dont pick anything the run will be naked.

minimum rarity sounds fair, will add.

and for the stat tree, i had to rush it, didnt have time to test everything.
will be improved over time.

Was HOB damit meinte ist das man das Spiel nicht einfach runterflamen soll.
Wenn man Konstruktive Kritik ausübt ist dies absolut Legitim und in Ordnung. Aber die meisten schreiben nur Sachen wie "Bad game" und geben denn Daumen nach unten, und sowas muss man halt nicht machen.

From the shop page of the game. I requested a refund too because of no meta progression.

most of ppl are just a hype train, they plaed an hour and are flashed writing the review before they really know the game

That is actually not true.

He told that people should not bash the game if they don't like it BUT instead they should give the review they normally would ( even a negative one ) BUT shall include critics that devs can improve the game.

He actually made a joke out of that "don't give negative reviews" nonsense other devs / publishers proclaim.

Stop spreading false information dude.

His own words on his HandofUncut Channel "Wenn es euch nicht gefällt, gebt es einfach zurück und schreibt nichts dazu" - after this, he starts to write a positive review, clip ends.

So I don't spread false information, it is his channel and he wanted to show exactly only this in the clip ^^

Dann sollte er den Clip auf seinen Channel noch mal überdenken, weil dort sagt er nur das, was ich schon geschrieben habe, danach schreibt er selber eine review und der Clip endet ^^"

[derSanitoeter]

Ich frag mich gerade ob du das ernst meinst.

Ein Clip ist IMMER komplett aus dem Kontext gerissen und gibt nur den kleinsten Bruchteil wieder.

Die Veranwortung liegt beim CLIPERSTELLER und was der da zusammenschneidet - nicht bei HOBs Aussage, welche zerstückelt dargestellt wird.

Junge Junge, lernt mal kritisch zu betrachten und zu hinterfragen.

Es ist von seinem offiziellen Channel und er ist der Clipersteller. Wäre es slasherx100, würde ich dir zustimmen, aber hinter dem Channel sitzt HOB selber ^^

Es ist halt eine Information, die er selber so dargestellt hat und öffentlich gemacht hat - da ist kein Verweis auf ein Stream oder Video, wo man mehr zu seiner Meinung diesbezüglich erfahren kann. Er hat diesen Clip erstellt oder ggfs durchgewunken, dass er auf den Channel von ihm hochgeladen wird.

I don't believe is bad but feels like an early access with low content and after a bit you've seen everything cause there is no progression

Honestly would love to pay more money for it if it had progression
