  • SCHiM is a cute little 3D platformer about a shadow blob frog thingy that can traverse the world by hopping from shadow puddle to shadow puddle. Alas, that's about all there is to it.
    As always, I hope you enjoy this short, spoiler-free review :)

    Saw your review on the steam page and was really curious. This review as well as the rating system is pretty comprehensive and I love that the review has no fluff, only substance. Thanks for this review and you have another subscriber!

      Yay! I'm so glad you found the review helpful. Welcome to the channel-more reviews to come :)

    I wasn't really sure if I wanted to buy SCHiM (cuz I'm broke) but your review really helped my decide that i'll wait till the game is on sale or enter a couple giveaways. Great Review

      I think waiting for a sale on SCHiM is a good idea. For $10 it'd be a pretty easy recommendation 👍

    Thanks for the review, I was excited waiting for the game to release and was waiting for reviews to come out because the price seemed a bit too high for me. It seems like playing the demo will be enough to have the experience.

    • @MEGAthemicro

      You're very welcome, and thanks for watching! I agree that the demo is about all you need to see of SCHiM to get the overall idea.

    Finally getting around to watching this. I also thought it was pretty repetitive. That price is the breaking point though. I don't think there's room for a 'decent' $25 indie game in a world where $10 or $15 can get you an excellent indie game. Also, the checkpoints are actually visible, it's just hard t see. They're the shadows with the little dotted line outline. I didn't figure it out until I was like halfway through the game.

      Wow... now that you pointed that out, I'm amazed I missed it. One of those subtle things you suddenly can't unsee, like the arrow in FedEx's logo. Time to check out your review :)

    Nice review! I haven't played the game yet, but your criticisms about it sum up my fears after following the game for a while. I'll still definitely get it when I can, as the art style alone is probably enough to make it worth playing for me. Maybe if I find it on sale.

      Thank you very much! Hopefully you'll get to try SCHiM for yourself in the future :)

      Yeah, kinda bummed. Was hoping for more story or puzzles out of it. Appreciate the review, though. Looking forward to future reviews

    I'm surprised they didn't do anything with the implication that the host just no longer had a soul

    • @MEGAthemicro
      @MEGAthemicro  Месяц назад +1

      Exactly! There was so much more room for interesting, emotional ramifications of losing your schim. Oh well 🤷

      @shadowmich Месяц назад

      @@MEGAthemicro that's the problem with people wanting to make a game alone I think, not everyone has all the creativity do so :/ . Too bad he didn't ask for more opinions before releasing it

    A same. The gist of the game looks fun.

    • @MEGAthemicro
      @MEGAthemicro  22 дня назад

      Indeed! A fun premise... and not much else.

    i loved the trailer but was incredibly bored and disappointed when playing the nextfest demo :( footage here looks like a big aimless struggle, like you're carrying something really heavy from point A to B while having no idea where B is.

    • @MEGAthemicro
      @MEGAthemicro  Месяц назад +1

      Well put. I, too, was super pumped to give SCHiM a try after watching the delightful trailers. But, as noted in the review, the gameplay novelty wears out within the first hour or so :/

  • @ugibugiugiRAH

    I feel really conflicted trying to understand your review on the game while looking at the gameplay. I feel like all things, it could boil down to personal preference as well! I might have to try the game to fully understand your low rating. But I hope the game lives up to its hype hehe 😬

    • @MEGAthemicro
      @MEGAthemicro  Месяц назад

      Definitely! Every review is, ultimately, nothing more than an opinion. I'll be happy to answer any other questions you have about SCHiM or my review, just let me know :)

    Very expensive for such a short time of 4 hours And there is no repayability.
