I can easily recommend this game if you like Skutnik's previous work. It's expansive, the graphics are better than ever, and the puzzles are of medium difficulty. Personally, it gave me almost 24hrs of total playing time before I solved it, a solid value for the price. Now if you don't know Skutnik's work, I'd heavily recommend first trying his Daymare Town and Submachine series, which you can do for free at his website (https://www.mateuszskutnik.com/games/), or right here (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1564790/Submachine_Legacy/). To be frank, I'm only a mid-tier fan of Mateusz' work, and unsurprisingly, there were areas of this game I certainly enjoyed, and areas which either bored or frustrated me. Let's do some pros & cons: - PRO: As said, the artwork is just delightful, with its mix of abstraction, looseness, mysteriousness, but also high-detail. CON: Much of it is non-interactive window dressing that feels kind of empty, as if there was little real world-building behind the scenes. Call it just a dream, perhaps. - PRO: There's a useful series of teleportals to help the player get around the world. CON: There's too darn many of said teleportals, they all look alike, fill too much of the screen, and they don't appear in sequence in the 'wheel index' mode, making them less helpful than they could have been. - PRO: Like the background art, the characters in the game are amusing and intriguing. CON: Unfortunately as with the art, you can't interact with them in any meaningful way; a frustrating situation. I feel Skutnik missed a major chance for them to add some background story, hints, and a bit of community. As is, the player feels kind of like a ghost, simply passing time in their world. - PRO: The game offers an unusual mix of physically moving the character around as in classic LucasArts games, but also offering a sort of 'magic cursor' that allows you interact with object far away from the character. It's an unusual combo, but effective. FINAL NOTES: I feel like Skutnik's finest series is "Covert Front" (at his website), and the difference there is that his partner Karol Konwerski scripted that one. It's tightly-plotted and hugely satisfying, if a bit short. Be sure to also check out the entire "Pastel" flash game series they worked on together. IMO they represent the cream of the crop of adventure games across the long history of flash!
Playtime: 5-7 hrs Difficulty: ★★★★☆ Slice of Sea - is point & click adventure game made by Mateusz Skutnik, who also created Submachine. If you like any of Rusty lakes games or Samorost, Machinarium, Mechanic 8230: Escape from Ilgrot etc. You are gonna like this too. What some are saying in their reviews, i personally didn't encounter any glitches or game crashes. Game play, Puzzles & Achievements - I think i'm little bit advanced what comes to using logic in this type of games, since i have played point & click puzzle games for ages now, but oh boy do i need to admit that this game got me stuck and scratching my head more than multiple times. I would say in a good way, since the solutions weren't made out of thin air and actually made sense when you realized them, but they also weren't crazy obvious at first. Like for example the one where you had to look the train car windows, do they have lights or not. I walked so many times past and didn't realize a that it was anything useful. It doesn't have that much mini games like some of the other HOG adventure games, this is just more of the pixel hunting type. There is portals which you can use to switch between places, i think that's nice addition since this game has quite large amount of scenes and it would take way more time to move without them. Especially when i took some time to realize i have to collect books and seashells, i had to go back to every scene trying to find them so that i could get the achievement in steam. This game is pleasantly little bit challenging and really enjoyable time killer. It took me around 6 hours to complete, around 5 to get trough the game, but i went back and worth to collect all the achievements so i could get perfect game. So that added hour or something to my playing time. What comes to achievements i would say they are quite easily achieved and you can get them all in one game play which is good. I would say by the story and themes in this game it would suit for anyone, it doesn't have gore or mature content. I'm not completely sure tho is it too hard for younger kids. Story, Artwork & Soundscape - Story follows a some sort of oceanic creature named Seaweed, who wants to find it's way back to the ocean by travelling trough desolated world, finding items and solving puzzles. I don't really have much to say about the story, because it was not so big part of the game in my opinion. What i mean is that there isn't much talking or whatsoever. That's about it, that's the story. If you are familiar with Mateuszs artwork you know this is just as amazing as the others. I like the hand drawn & artsy style of the game, with muted colors that make the game moody. Soundscape creates fitting ambient atmosphere, i got no complaints. About price - I have really mixed opinions about the price, it costs 20,99€ (23,96 USD) without any sale. I love Mateusz Skutnik games and i know they have taken so much time to make and they are literally piece of art, but can i justify myself buying game that entertains me about 5 hours and i know i probably ain't gonna play it ever again, maybe not. But what makes my opinion mixed is that this game is so good, i'm just too stingy about using money. I would recommend buying it from sale, only reason being that the game doesn't take that much time to complete. No other reason. Pros • Amazing hand drawn artwork • Challenging puzzles • 100% perfect achievement game in one play • Decent amount of game play (5 to 7 hours) Cons • Price without sale Story □ Bad □ Could be better □ Decent ☑ Good □ Enjoyable □ Immersive Artwork □ Bad □ Could be better □ Decent □ Pretty good □ Beautiful ☑ Amazing Soundtrack □ Bad □ Could be better □ Decent □ Good ☑ Immersive □ Eargasm Mini games difficulty - Note; There barely had any. □ Toddler could solve □ Easy ☑ Medium □ Advanced □ Hard □ Had to check on google Overal gameplay difficulty □ Toddler could solve □ Easy □ Medium ☑ Advanced □ Hard □ Had to check on google Audience ☑ Kids ☑ Teens ☑ Young adults ☑ Adults ☑ Seniors
This game is fantastic, but unfortunately there's a bug where if you take a screenshot it crashes and your save is corrupted. EDIT- The bug only happens the FIRST time you take a screenshot. So open the game, take a screenshot, and then you'll be fine in all future saves. Still very frustrating if you lose progress.
