One Day : The Sun Disappeared

In my opinion, this is quite a sluggish and uninspired game, not worth the time.

UPDATE: OK...with a little more time in, some points for you to consider...none of which are game-breakers for me, or enough to rescind this recommendation: I don't see a way to change the controls...I'm a mouse/keyboard guy...or in this game, keyboard only. Though the controls are easy to use, I know some folks might object for whatever reason...just sayin'. Also, nowhere to save your progress. If you don't make it to the end of a level, you start over...both while in-game and after exiting and starting again. Even with that, it's not unusually tough to get through a given level...a good tip for that is taking some of the coin you earn on missions, and using it to boost your character's strength, agaility or defense. It's the quickest way to get through levels.While there may be a way to get around either issue, I have not discovered it. That said, I still am having a blast with this, and neither issue detracts from my real enjoyment AT ALL. I remain VERY happy with getting this game...

This game is solid. Its fun, challenging and has unique art and music. The only complaint i have is the lack of options for controller config. If i could set the mouse to attack and block, and "W" to jump i would be perfectly happy with this game. With all this said i give this game a huge thumbs up, i recommend it to anyone that loves a platform RPG themed game. Its just one of those games that gives off good feelings and it really makes me enjoy it. You die alot, but the game has its own unique way of pulling you back over and over with a huge feeling of accomplishment when you whip a bosses ass. 10/10 would buy again.

Not a bad game but in the end not worth your time. It was obviously ported from mobile game and it shows across the board - menu structure can't deny it's roots at times it is useless with a gamepad - graphics are barely OK on screenshots but the animations with cheap rigging look awful in motion - worst of all the core gameplay loop barely works. Motion is stilted leading to either to static fights or a lot of cheap hits once enemies with longer reach appear - boss fights seem nonsensical due to lack of proper motion On the plus side the RPG loop is motivating on its on and later stages have some light puzzle elements that kept me interested. Not interested enough to finish but at least I don't regret the time spend.

There's still daylight, I must be missing something.

I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing. Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side. With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could pla...

The Sun Disappeared, But So Did the Enjoyment Rating: ★★☆☆☆ Review: One Day: The Sun Disappeared had the potential to be an intriguing and atmospheric experience, but unfortunately, it falls short in several aspects, leaving players with a feeling of unfulfillment. Despite the promising premise, the execution leaves much to be desired. One of the game's major drawbacks is its lackluster gameplay mechanics. The interactions and puzzles are often simplistic and uninspired, failing to provide any real challenge or engaging gameplay. Instead of offering captivating and thought-provoking puzzles, One Day opts for mundane and predictable tasks that quickly become repetitive. While the visuals initially capture the desolate atmosphere of a world without the sun, the overall graphical quality falls short of expectations. The environments lack detail and visual variety, resulting in a monotonous and uninspiring experience. The potential for stunning visuals in a sunless world is ...

This game is very similar to 'East New World' but with horrible controls that cannot be customized. You will find yourself doing body rolls all the time even if you didn't intend to because you roll forward or backward by hitting right movement or left keys twice. This makes certain sections of the game impossible to play. The roll doesn't work when you want it to and you cannot stop the roll when you don't want to. The roll should have been assigned to a button and not to movement keys. The fights are also sluggish. Once you go into an attack move, you can't cancel it if you decide to run away or dodge enemy attacks. You are stuck there swinging your weapon while the enemy beats you to pulp.

not a bad game to dip in and out of tbh

Controls are clunky and the pacing of the game wasn't enough to keep me engaged since it lacks gameplay depth. If you don't mind controls and if these kind of games are relaxing for you, then its not a bad buy for $6 I suppose. But I would honestly rather play this kind of game on a mobile device than on Steam. This wasn't for me.
