Hiking Simulator 2018

Okay, after this developer made Hiking Simulator 2017 in the GameGuru engine and stretched out the default terrain to make some of the worst looking "mountains" ever seen in a game.. I think he might have taken my review to heart... So fast forward almost a year and a half later, and Hiking Simulator 2018 is created in the Unreal engine 4 so that we can get MUCH better graphics and more realistic mountains! ..But hold up. Before you think that Hiking Simulator 2018 might be well worth it's $1.99 asking price, you might want to watch my "First Play on Launch Day" Review seen here because the developer was afraid to show any real gameplay footage on his Steam store page here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcBboB_1rdE&feature=youtu.be After playing this abysmal and horrifyingly BORING game, I was left feeling again that this developer put no real effort into this, and no real heart either. This is just a mash together of ASSETS he found on the Unreal marketplace. No real coding is...

[u][b]About the game[/b][/u] A singleplayer game set in an area full of snow and mountains. There is a chance to encounter wolfs and bears. You can play the game with either keyboard and mouse or with a controller. [i][b]The bad things[/b][/i] [b]The character[/b] The character in this game looks like something made in the late 90's. There is no character creation. You can't even chose if you want to play as a man or a woman. He have no backpack on, which seems a bit weird, compared to the fact that he is in the middle of nowhere all alone for days (small thing, yes. But still). [b]The graphics[/b] The graphic is terrible in some parts of the game, while it can be quite beautiful in other parts. The trees have no textures. The snow is squared some places. The ''caves'' seem so out of place, that you can locate them from far away. From a distance the bears in this game looks worse than the bears from the old tomb raider games (PS1). Examples (running it on ultra): [url=https://ste...

Do not spend your money on garbage!!!

my therapist told me to go for a hike instead of playing video games so often, so i found a middleground between me and my therapist by buying this game it didnt solve my depression btw

seriously don't waste your money even if it is only $1.99.... the game a thrown together pile of garbage...I wouldn't recommend this game even if it was free

Terrible game at any price, AVOID

This is a steaming pile of garbage, it is absolutely rubbish, avoid!!

Best game Ever!!!!!

HS2018 plays like an Early Access game that is is not finished. It seems thrown-together. Hostile animals attack you with no means of defense. I tried it, but fighting bears and boars with kicking is ridiculous. I don't think there are any weapons to be found. I looked at the forums for help- there are 11 posts and the most recent is Aug 12, 2019. It is an advertisement for a cookstove. The forum is so dead no one even reported it. EDIT- I reported the ad post and it has been removed, so there's that- at least something works LOL Visually, the game looks good, but that aspect is incomplete as well. I ran the game on "Ultra" with a very nice system- I7 processor, 1080Ti, 32GB RAM. Glitchy shadows with that moving sawtooth edge! There is no movement to the aurora. Animals are not optimized- they seem disconnected from the ground. I cannot recommend this as a casual game, a survival game, or a simulator at all.

I'm looking forawrd to playing the game more, so far im intrigued what can be done with the steam achievemtns for this game. For example, have to figure out how to die. For a simple game and the price you pay, you can't go wrong. The graphics are great for what they are and music/noises are great as well. I would take the time to play this game if you have a chance, where you don't want to think too much. Thank you Shoho games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8HYOIaz0ro
