A fun tech demo but some parts were atrocious

I honestly forgot about this game

it was like a very short visual novel

I like the gameplay and setting, the problem is that it was too limited. There was like 3 of the same boss fight, the final boss was one of them.

Still remerber when people hated me because i said that "enjoyed the game", everyone was like, "this is not avideo game its a tech demo or a movie" XD

Should have been an episodic series. DLC every like, 6 months or so.

I liked the world building. Like the air strike being a blimp firing a harpoon to the ground and then sending a bomb down the chain. That's a clever approach to old tech.

I would argue it ridiculous to criticize people liking a game.

That’s the thing, you can tell when devs put in the time to make it look good. Just look at Arkham Knight versus Gotham Knights. Seven years ago, they gave a fuck and put out a sweet looking game that holds up to this day. Gotham Knights on the other hand, pretty forgettable around every corner.

Nowadays we get low effort games because people have low standards and buy every garbage thrown at their face

Ps5's tech demo was Astro's playroom. A fantastic game. Better then the order in my opinion.

I wish we could have gotten the full game in the first place lol, I remember playing for like 6 hours and enjoying it for the most part only for it to cut off into a fucking cliffhanger mid story like excuse me? I maybe could have looked past it had there been literally any other game modes or anything. This game really played with my emotions and left such a sour taste in my mouth and we all know that we’ll never ever see the continuation. Such a shame.

I think they wanted this to be like modern Sony AAA titles, very cinematic in its presentation with great visuals and fun combat. But it fell flat unfortunately.

It felt more like a showcase of PS4 technology than an actual game.

Definitely but the setting is so good that it's a waste to just leave it as is.

Truly the only fantasy-victorian-steampunk setting out there. Imagine if only someone else had also used it..

It's like the opposite of Disco Elysium.

This game was absolutely dog shit. one of the worst games ive ever played. i got to the blimp crash part and took the disc out and sold it. it was like 2 days after release

far too much, its worth and £2.50

people can like bad things, and its okay for them to be a minority.

Seems unnecessary when you could just drop the bomb.

Like Stephen’s did a great video on this. I haven’t taken the plunge into it because I’m sure I’d want more.

It would have been good as a launch title.
But it wasn't. It was a gears of War clone with shiny graphics

Bombing was extremely inaccurate until computer technology. Only 20% of bombs hit their targets in ww2.
AllAboutThemReps t1_iy6fnth wrote
Yet a harpoon launched from a blimp is going to be more accurate?
whitepplwithdreads t1_iy6gaze wrote
They had dlc planned but were so butthurt by the release backlash they packed it all up lol. If you take your timr and dick around this game can easily be beaten in 7 hours. I did it on twitch once. The entire thing took me less than 8 hours, and I stopped many times throughout

I think its ridiculous that folks praise the obnoxiously priced tech demo and make it out like it was something groundbreaking when it was far from it...gotta justify being mugged off is my guess lmao.
DrPatchet t1_iy6q76q wrote
A blimp is way lower, way slower, and probably shot from a ballista or cannon so probably. Like the original comment it’s a clever take on the steam punk vibe for a accurate air strike
Hairy-Wear-2064 t1_iy7j4hi wrote
I remember reviews saying it was pretty bad all around except for the graphics
FlashisSpeed t1_iy808lw wrote
The game was far from perfect. It was indeed, dog shit. The gameplay was so awfully bland, janky and a slap in the face of gamers. The only good thing was how good it looked and that was it. It was a tech demo, passed off as a game.

It's one of maybe 5 games that I want to come to PC, Im absolute sucker for Steampunk aesthetic and I'm not willing to drop this much money for PS4/5 to play these games

I really think they need to revisits this world.
