Where the Bees Make Honey

This title is not hard for me to rate: definitely [b]NOT RECOMMENDED[/b]! There are some positive aspects to this game. It tries to drag the player in by telling a story of remembering childhood memories. And it pursues many different ways of engaging the player. However, that being said, the last point is also the first big negative of the game as it appeared to me that the developers couldn't really decide on what they want their game to be. As a player you are confronted with many different game mechanics which severely interrupts the game flow and, as such, hinders immersion. Yet that immersion would be particularly crucial to the goal of the game, namely to evoke aforementioned childhood memories. On top of that, the techinal execution is definitely sub-par, and at times exceptionally gruesome! Escpecially the part where you play a rabbit I found it almost impossible to direct that rabbit where I wanted it due to the camera/controls. While that part has a third person perspecti...

[b]Recommend on Sale [/b] if you are looking for a short casual to entertain you for a couple hours. If you want an in depth story or hard puzzles you should pass. Visually Where the Bees Make Honey is beautiful to look at so I decided to take a chance on it despite the reviews. Overall I enjoyed the game., it is pretty linear you can't really mess up the progression. The puzzles were not that challenging but still provided me with a couple hours of entertainment with much better visuals than some other indie titles of the same difficulty. Making this an easy game to complete. [b]Controls[/b] Initially I was annoyed that my mouse was not locked to the game and I had to use Display Fusion "lock mouse to active window" as I kept clicking on one of my 3 other screens thus minimizing the game. [b]BUT then[/b] I realized you don't even need to click the mouse, just use it to pan around. [Q] is how you interact in game, [WASD] to move around while [Q] and [R] to flip Right and Left fo...

Where the Bees Make Honey hit me in a weird way that made me nostalgic for aspects of my youth. The edges of the experience aren't perfectly smooth, but life is like that too. If you're looking for a contemplative experience with some very interesting puzzle mechanics, this is a good choice.

I like the variety in this game and the story telling is amazing. I got a little emotional on the bunny level, both when I couldn't make the jump and when I got through to the end and got that lovely voice over. Many of the levels are challenging and I love the puzzle elements to it all.

This isn't a strong recommendation, but I don't think this game deserves to be as negative as it is. For being a nearly one person team, the vision, story and theme are great. It is a pretty short experience, but I don't think that detracts from the idea that's there, although 1 or 2 more sections to help smooth out the transitions behind some of the ideas would help. The issues: - There are several visual bugs that are present, albeit minor for the most part. - Controller support isn't great, and there's some bug with movement. I found using a combination of controller and keyboard at different times worked the best - The game could use a little bit more cohesion. Overall, I liked the sections that are there, but it felt like some of the sections didn't naturally flow together. The good things: + For a very small team, they pulled off a really strong vision + The narrative is interesting, and the voice acting is great + Visually the game looks very polished, with some high quality ...

That's the worst game I've ever played. I don't even know why they have graphics options up to ultra, they obviously didn't bother to address the graphics. It's blurry and skips frames constantly, no matter what settings are applied. The controls to move and interact are strange and unclear. The story line is almost non-existent. Don't get it. Even for free. Don't waste your life.

This is the story of a young woman who's upset that nobody at her entry level job thinks she's as special as her parents told her she was. Eventually she winds up crying in a corner reminiscing about being 8 and having no responsibilities. Puzzles are glitchy, simplistic, and seemingly unrelated to each other. There's a few basic Fez style puzzles where you have to rotate the scene around. Then there are weird parts where you're a rabbit, and a remote controlled car, and there's a halloween thing with pumpkins. Who knows, I can't explain any of it. The audio is unbalanced - sometimes loud, sometimes quiet, sometimes crackly, sometimes only coming in through left or right sides. Honestly, this all feels like the personal project of someone who's just getting into game development. Should be free to play. Play Time: 2 hrs for 100% achievements Review: 2/10

The only good thing going for this game was the soundtrack. Only had a play time of MAYBE 45 min. Most of your time is spent dealing with buggy controls. The art is alright, but mostly just off-putting. The puzzles aren't hard at all. There is no direction for the story. Supposedly this game is meant to motivate the player, but I just felt like I wasted my time, attention, and most importantly, my money. I'd rather spend the $10 on some crappy DLC for another game.

i saw that this had mostly negative reviews and i remember it coming out and being excited :( i finally tried it and thought it looked lighthearted HOWEVER now playing it theres a meaning/ the woman is in a dead end job and it seems to me like shes having memories or flashbacks of her childhood (that we play) ive not had many hours but im excited to play more : )

Very simple game, definitely not worth its asking price. Controls are janky and the game tries to be 3 different games at once
