Powerless is quite possibly one of the worst FPS games I've ever played

By - | Views: 9,741

Thanks to Steam's new curator system, we get sent keys to various games where developers want us to review it. I took a look at Powerless [Steam] and I was not impressed.

Sometimes we get sent really interesting games I've never heard about through our Steam Curator, like HYPERNOVA: Escape from Hadea. Then there's times like this, where I'm quite literally telling you not to buy a game—which is incredibly rare for me to do so.

For £7.19 you get what I can only describe as "my first Zombie FPS". Everything about it is terrible, especially the animations. The performance isn't good, it has no coherent style to it at all, the guns don't even match the rest of the game and the Zombies walk like they literally have a stick up their backside, just look at this:

Thankfully, we have plenty of good games on Linux that I shall be covering shortly. This one just amused me so much when I saw the zombies stiffly walking towards me, that I just had to share how terrible it is.

According to the store page the game also includes an e-book. Maybe that's worth a read?

Quoting: razing32I guess they should have put this on itch.io first and learned from it then make a proper project on steam.

That's one of the reason I disliked the removal of Greenlight. It allows for an unrestricted stream of "My First Game" and "Yet Another Boiler Plate Asset Flip".

YABPAF are frustrating as hell, especially if you're trying to get a signal above the noise level. An MFG should never be sold, not unless it's above a certain grade, unfortunately. The second game is always going to be better with what was learned from the first, provided you learn of course.

Situations where we end up with a review like this because some young hopeful teens were also naive about it, are a wee bit sad. To be honest, I hope it doesn't put them off and they learn from it, specifically learn to see past the rose-tinted-glasses they're likely to be wearing.
