  • Welcome to Steam Sequence, a series where I attempt to play and review as many Steam games in alphabetical order as possible to sort the Trash from the Treasure.
    This means that I'm playing through all the terrible games so that you don't have to.
    Please enjoy my suffering.

    In case you're wondering, Steam organizes games starting with punctuation first, then numbers, and then the actual alphabet. It may be some time before I reach the letter "A" on my journey!

    i'm peruvian and i always enjoy seeing peruvian culture being properly represented in media, i was expecting this game to be super out of touch like most media on peru is and get a good laugh out of it but it was a nice surprise to see it was fairly well researched and was about a notable, well-documented story instead of going "ooh look at this mysterious faraway country with a lot of supernatural culture, let's put aliens in macchu pichu no one knows anything about the actual culture anyway so no one will care". Also cachiche is pronounced kah-CHEE-chay btw

    • @Graeldon
      @Graeldon  Před měsícem +13

      It is always great to see cultures being represented well in any form of media!
      Apologies for butchering the pronunciation of Cachiche though.
      At least it wasn't "Ca-sheesh"?

    First game really looks like someone had a lot of vision, but not yet the skill to fully realise it. I bet he's just as frustrated with the end product as any consumer would be, if not more. If it wasn't sold for $5, I'd actually have sympathy for him.

  • @covereye5731

    1:05 That's a default Unity settings menu that it auto adds to projects. Seeing it often means the graphics quality setting are likely to not do anything because the game wasn't made for any other graphics.

    1000 heads feels way more fitting as a game you'd just come across on itch one day as opposed to buying on steam, i think it ultimately would've been way more acceptable to go the "if you like the game you can just donate and follow for my next projects" approach because even if it's kind of neat it just feels like the game could barely pay for the $100 admission on steam for itself really

    Wow 1-2-Swift has less content than an old Flash Fane and those were at least free!
    I can't even imagine that being fun with a friend because you've seen everything after a 5 seconds.
    At least 1,000 Heads has some Gameplay even if it feels kind of under baked.

    • @Graeldon
      @Graeldon  Před měsícem +11

      1,000 Heads had a strong premise and start, and then absolutely dropped the ball on everything else, which is a shame because it could've been something cool.
      1-2-Swift saw the ball in the bottom of the barrel and left it there.

    • @crazyluigi6664
      @crazyluigi6664 Před měsícem +1

      @@Graeldon I second the notion on the 1,000 Heads games. Maybe expand the details for everyone, and it could be a bit more worthwhile. The second game, though... yeah, I don't want to bother with knockoff crap like that.

  • @keythealien
    @keythealien Před měsícem +7

    Loving the additional rating button, Grael. It will definitely help clarify your point about some of the less obvious games. These two, though, were pretty clearly bad games. Which is super unfortunate in the event of the first one because it seemed so cool and had so much love and passion put into it. Hopefully the dev comes back to this one someday when they have more experience to fully realize their concept.

    I can’t believe someone thought to make a knock off version of a single mini game from 1, 2, Switch then had the extra gall to charge money for it on top of that. That’s like charging $5 to get to play a worse version of a single Mario party mini game over and over.

    Another great video! I do have one bit of feedback, though: although game devs can submit tags for their games on Steam, players are able to alter them and add new ones. Which is to say, the fact that a game has a "horror" tag doesn't necessarily mean the dev wanted it to be marketed as a horror game!

    The first game is at least nice that you can see the dev passion to tell the story even though it seems that he gave up in the end but he shouldn't have ask for money at least put on itchio first and work the knick knacks before launching it on Steam, still at least it seems he still creating games, he has a itchio page so hope for the best.
    The second game is baffling like even if was an old flash game it wouldn't be fun and asking for money is just so scummy :I

    A laudable series that I'm happy to see a new entry in. If you feel you're getting bogged down in the numbers section you could always sample a few games from each letter per episode before looping back to numbers, but this is more for your sanity than the video concept which is excellent

    Maybe 1-2-Swift is better in VR? Not by much, but still, if you get a first person POV maybe the first round would be interesting.

      Judging from the trailer it's still a side profile view because both players need to be on screen at once

    • @TomaszRyszkowski
      @TomaszRyszkowski Před měsícem +1

      I dont think that it's that. You would need to give both players a headset, which is not possible due to it being a local multiplayer steam game. From what i can gather the only VR thing that is used are the controllers. It even says in the text dump on 8:30 that only controllers are used in the VR mode

      @Clozent That's a fair assumption, but you might also be surprised. I've played plenty of obscure games with 0 reviews, but all have had tags.
      Likely, it's because tags are used as filters for searching, so it's in the developers' interest to add tags to make their game more searchable
