I vehemently disagree. This game revolutionized video games and the medical industry in one fell swoop. It's the first narco-game. Narco standing for narcolepsy and how it instantly beats you into a deep sleep. It solved worldwide insomnia quickly. Amazing little gem.
The Ass Scent is one of the few games in the past few years I've given up on after putting in multiple hours, and never wrote up. It's just too boring to finish or ever boot up again. I spent your whole review excited to tell you that there's a sequel on the way but then I realized I'd misremembered it and it's actually a sequel to Ruiner that's been announced. That's how memorable those two games are.
You, another commenter, two of my friends and me came to the same conclusion that this game is too boring to finish. That’s impressive. I know 5 isn’t a statistically significant sample size, but I’m bad at statistics, so 5 out of 5 people telling me this game is a snooze fest is shocking to me. Any other game would have at least one person saying they kind of liked it.
There’s no way this game got through playtests without someone thinking it was insufferable. Or worse. This is the developers’ idea of fun.
This game had a lot of sections that looked exactly like levels in Ruiner. Maybe there isn’t much to work with when making an isometric cyberpunk game. All I remember from that game is that the enemies don’t stop dashing and teleporting around. It made me feel like I had a concussion.
Substack says this article takes 18 minutes to read. If you’re fast, you can do it in around 12 minutes. The clip I used for the gameplay section is me getting from the quest giver to the quest area. It’s 10 minutes long, with some quick pauses where I alt-tabbed to see if the right screen was being recorded. I started the clip after around 5 minutes of walking because I couldn’t believe what was going on.
So if you read relatively quickly, you could read this article in the 14 or so minutes it took me to get from one area to another.
I had the same exact experience, but I least I got it for "free" on PS+
It looked cool, the graphics are nice and the controls felt right at the start. 15 minutes later I was bored of walking, I didn't know where to go, and the map didn't help AT ALL.

It’s the only 100% natty sleep supplement.

Could I read this whole review while getting from point A to B in the game?

Now you can rest easy knowing the rest of the game is exactly like those first 15 minutes, and you didn’t miss anything cool.
Oh, this one tricks us sooo badly in wanting to try it. I have to resist the urge despite your god's work lol Thanks for the intel!
