    The latest games in the Worst Game On Steam series by far are genuinely the worst. School Trip, Mega Zombie Explosion, World of Barn and Murder of the Bear Lake are just a few of the many examples on steam, of lazy developers hiking up the price just to sell for even more than it's worth on a big discount.
    These games were made by Ready to Play and the Worst Game On Steam series usually looks at games that at least show some kind of effort. But School Trip, Mega Zombie Explosion, World of Barn and Murder of the Bear Lake have clearly been made without any real effort, care or passion. They simply are just games, engineered to trick you into buying out of curiosity with either fake reviews (can't verify this) or reviews from friends.
    It's a rare case and thankfully not too many people fall for it. I hope you don't either!

    I'm WickedWiz from the What Went Wrong series coming at you with some of the most cursed indie games on Steam. This new series is for games that are so bad, that they're actually good. Worst Game On Steam, is a question that hopefully turns out to be false each time. These are games that won't fit the longer form What Went Wrong videos.

  • @Squidsabyss
    @Squidsabyss Před 10 měsíci +190

    Hi, the reason the skeletons just sink into the ground like that when they die is because the bones are not set up correctly on their death animation, so when they try to do the death animation they just sorta do *that* instead
    Also, a lot of the models used are from synty studios, theyre pretty good for low poly backs but also are aware of the previous problem (they do not have 5 fingers but rather a bit of a mitten hand) so they also tell you how to make sure the avatars are set up for proper animations
    also also, the popping in is an unbelievably easy fix by adding different LOD groups, since the skybox is the unity default its safe to say its developed in unity, which allows the use of LOD groups, there is no code involved and a checkmark that allows "crossfading" instead of just popping in
    Many of these games could very easily be made so much better if he did like even a second of talking to anyone in game dev space, but as is clearly the case, the dude doesnt care

    29:51 I know the video is 4 months old by now, but just to try and dispel the myth: Steams 2 hour refund window isn't a hard limit. The 2 hour limit is just where Steam doesn't need any reasoning for why you should get a refund. You can still request a refund even past the 2 hours, but you need to justify why you should get it.
    For example, I've gotten several refunds after around 4-6 hours of playtime because I gave Steam a reason for it. Like for a slow paced strategy game, I plainly explained "The tutorial was 3 hours long, so I only realised the game wasn't for me after 4 hours." So for the pack in the video, a good enough reasoning would likely be "there were 4 games in the pack and it took me 45 minutes each to realise that all of them were cheap asset flips that don't have any more content to play through."
    The only thing you need to keep in mind is that Steam will keep count of how often you do it. So if you're constantly refunding games after 6 hours of playing, they'll block you from getting any refunds for a period of time. But once or twice a year is fine.

    Oof, these were painful.
    I've always found it hard to nail down what it means for a game to feel soulless, and this series does an amazing job of making me ask that question repeatedly. Because yeah, you can absolutely tell there was no love for any of these games when they were made. Compared to other, arguably equally unfunctional games that have even been on this show before, somehow there's still a tangible feeling of "they're trying" in the others. They might have failed, but you can tell they were trying their hardest, but just were too inexperienced to know what they were doing and the games fell apart as a result.
    Not here. These are just soulless husks. And despite how long this series has gone on for by now, I still just can't quite figure out what makes that tangible difference.

    • @FionavanDahl
      @FionavanDahl Před 10 měsíci +1

      I think the better games started with an exciting concept before (failing at) production, whereas these games skip to (failed) production and hence feel like they're made up as they go along - the game isn't the product of a project, it's all soulless product

      They also tend to have some thought for detail put into them, maybe it's real ugly and glitchy and you can't for the life of you understand why, but when you look through the window someone has gone through the trouble of putting something on the other side. Or thought about tricky puzzles. It feels like someone spent time on it, they just didn't have the tools to do it well. These feel like the least time possible was spent on the games. Nothing was even proofread. The tiny bits of gameplay were only there to make it possible to call this a game.

    These are the only games under 2 hours that you can finish and request a refund without a moral quandary. But don't do that to good games under a couple of hours, people were refunding Dave Szymanski's games and that's just being a dick.
