This is what happens when someone has a cool and kinda corny idea, decides to make it a videogame, learns how to program a bit so they can make it real, but lack the funds and realizes the scope was too big for what they can handle. But I mean, the love was poured in it and you can notice it
Happened to me, got the idea for a timeloop game when I was around 10. Almost a decade before Prey Mooncrash or Deathloop but since I was a child I couldn’t properly realize the idea, even bought a book on Lua to try and make it in Roblox but absolutely shit the bed lol.
This definitely wasn’t what I was expecting. Whoever made this clearly tried, and wanted to make a good game with a decent story. Honestly, kudos to them for that. I wish them luck in their future projects.
Yeah, I feel like many of these games are made by someone or a few who really likes games and tries their best to create one. It's a bit charming really ^^
I do hope the developers takes what they learned and use the money they’ve earned to improve for their next projects. I’m still surprised how much developer teams can improve between projects, like the one developer team went from Rambo the Game to Terminator Resistance.
This one kinda hurts. The voice acting is good enough, there is a constructed narrative, and they went through the effort of preventing out of bounds as much as possible. It feels like they were really trying their hardest but either over anticipated how easy it would be, how much it would cost, how long it would take or some combination of those factors. I unironically would have been interested to see what episode 3 would be or what their idea for the colony woulda been
You know what, these developers (or developer) may lack the technical expertise to really polish a game, but like. They seem to have implemented not just stereotypical game design tropes like finding keycards or powering up a generator, but they have some good things too. Like using a radio message that the player has to track down using their hearing, or, seeing a massive cool building in the distance to guide you after some exploring. Having a relatively clear open area where you can see a dead body and something on the ground next to it to draw you in to explore. It's janky but I actually hope the developer(s) learned a lot and can make more games.
this is a great point, the level design and atmospheric/passive storytelling through item placement and visual design are really really well done, showing a level of maturity and care that a lot of professional designers lack, and done using bought asset packs no less, no ability to call the art team and say "I need an intersection floor texture that tells the players to go this direction" or "I need something that looks similar to our door switches but lights up to draw player attention".
Props to the MC’s voice actor. Emotions, emphasis on words and terms, actual voice patterns, give him some better direction and some top tier equipment and I’d expect to hear this man in an actual AAA game
I like how the main character spent like an hour in this world before deciding to eat a fucking dinosaur. No hesitation, no concerns for diseases he was just like "wait, is that a god damn dinosaur? Well, I know what I am gonna eat tonight!"
Well, y’know how it is. Either you learn if dinosaurs taste like chicken or not OR you can choose to starve. I guess you could also eat bugs or something but I don’t think there’s many other options.
@@froggy5748 Maybe but my point was that he didn't miss a heartbeat before making the choice to eat a dino. Like, if I were to get lost in the wilderness, I would make pretty damn sure that I have no other choice before start killing rabbits or something. This man didn't even know if there is a McDonald's at the next corner before carving into the meaty Dino drumsticks.
@@wasperfly With an option to pet the cute ones. Yeah, I know a fluffy feathered raptor would probably still try to eat my hand, but that's a risk I'm willing to take!

Thing is, the idea of an openworld post apocalypse dino/jungle game sounds fun af. Like Horizon but with real dinos instead of weird mechas, and closer to whatever event caused it. Worst game on steam is competing for what went wrong as one of my fav series on youtube. (Ive watched Wha Happun for years, but its different and doesnt have a wizard)
Weirdly awesome mechas! I have to admit, Zero Dawn is one of my all time favorite modern games. Very rarely has a video game caused me and my friends to have a long ass serious discussion. But we all started talking about issues raised in the plot such as out of control tech, trying to stop it, and if you cant stop it, what do you do to attempt to preserve humanitys accumulated knowledge. I havent played the 2nd one cuz i dont have a ps5 and im waiting for pc but I hope its half as good.
@@childofcascadia I played it on PS4 without much of a problem, except for my system occasionally sounding like it was going to Explored (I have a base model), and it was still amazing. It might be even better on PS5. Definitely jealous that only PS5 owners get to play the Forbidden West DLC.
if you're gonna point that out, why not point out the fact that he miss called the long neck dinos as brachiosaurus instead of apatosaurus since they didn't have mawhawks
All in all, considering the huge scale of this game, it's not terrible for an indie game. The person making it clearly gave it their best go and put a lot of love into it.
I love this series and I genuinely love that you can see there's a real attempt at something here - like there was definitely thought put into aspects of this. Most of the successful development seemed to go into the story and concept and characterization of the player character than anything else, but It shows promise! They took a concept and put effort into trying something. It didn't work out as intended, and is only sort of functional, but it's a start with a better foundation than most of the other games I've seen so far in this series :] It's nice, and his felt like a very fair showcase of the game and features you found interesting and what needed more work. I hope the developer, if they're still active, finds this useful because I do think there's definitely room for a game with a plot like this - it just needs work.
In my region it has price of moreover 1£, so for this price it's quite a decent game. Sure, it has a lot of bugs (don't remember how, but I somehow launched myself into the air and flew over the map several times), graphics "exist" here, and plot is just unfinished. But: it has a big map without any bonds, has normal voice acting (because it would've been much worse), fight system and some other important or just funny things, like ragdolls. It's suddenly good and fun to play more than being frustrating.
Seems like they could ramp this game up by making the dinosaurs much harder to kill and much more threatening, but in exchange getting plenty of meat. Make it so you're scared to engage, but must out of necessity.
at 31:10 when you black screened, I'm more concerned about the achievment poping up, like... the game tried to load you back but couldn't and somehow it killed a Triceratops ? With the sound of water ? Did it spawn it into water and it drowned ? Can you drown dinosaur in this game ? What happen ? I have so many questions...
this feels like jurassic park meets the forest meets LOST. i think the story had a lot of promise, but it definitely required a higher budget. i like the voice acting and some of the script, especially for the main character. the whole "that is a ___ (insert dinosaur name here)" in the beginning was a bit overkill, though. i also enjoy certain mechanics they added, such as the keycards, finding weapons on dead bodies, using the walkie, etc. being able to interact with the environment like that made it feel more immersive.
What I like is that no attempt to explain how the hell you ended up in the future. It boils down to "who knows, who cares, deal with it". That's a genuine compliment, by the way. This is one of those cases where the less you tell the player, the better.
As a paleo-nerd I loved that your nemesis dino was an _Ankylosaurus_ - an armoured herbivore - and that it was so OP that two smacks with that tail club managed to break the game. 🤣👍 You're not wrong calling it a tank... those white bumps on it's body are plates of bone called 'scutes', and that massive tail club is also _all bone_ and wielded like a prehistoric wrecking ball. No wonder your character moves like he's power-walking all the time... _plenty_ of pucker-factor navigating a world full of these beauties!
I'm tickled by how much the devs cared about this game. You can tell they had a vision and were executing their plan. A lot of games release in early access with less content and more bugs, and never get to this point. Lots of interesting story telling, and even though they probably used commercially available assets, pretty much everything regarding the art felt cohesive and logical.
It's a double entendre in any version of English... the main difference is that Brits, Aussies, New Zealanders, etc will still use the phrase and just leave the way it's interpreted up to the listener, like Wiz did. 😉
When ever I see a game like this I always imagine what it would be like if it were magically playable 30+ years ago. Like would it be considered one of the best games ever made because of its crazy realistic graphics and unheard of gameplay?
30 years ago, nobody would be able to play this game. PCs most definetly wouldn't be able to handle such a game. But if it would be possible... I've always thought the same. People call most games shit but back then this would sell millions of copies
There's definitely a labor of love here. With more money and experience, the dev(s) could make a more proper title. Novice devs do deserve some respect when they actually try to entertain people.
The research facility had a magnetic lock on the door but no power. Then you turn the power on to unlock it...but thats the opposite of how mag locks work. They only hold closed when they have power. Nit picky i know but it bothered me
Dude, magnetic locks only means the lock is opened/closed with magnetic device like a solenoid that push or pull the lock pin into position. It only needs power when the solenoid need to be charged. No idiot will design a lock that will constantly need power to make the door magnetized so they will stick to the metal door frame...........🤣
@webbit1024 i hate to be be bearer of bad news my friend. But the most common magnetic locks for doors have a metal plate bolted to the door and basically a big ass magnet attached to the frame. If the magnet loses power the door is free to open. Trust me i install them almost daily for my job.
@@cryptic_nightmares561 I know that kind of door, they are not for high security places, like a bio lab main door. Those doors are mainly for public area with the purpose to limit access to non authorized persons, and will not be limiting access in case of power failure for people to evacuate the area. Anyone who install that kind of door on the front gate of a high tech bio lab that tries to bring dinosaurs back to live, would be a moron.
@@cryptic_nightmares561 Why not have it the other way around, so the bolt is in the frame and only gets pulled in when powered on? Edit: After like 5sec of thought, that's probably a huge NO due to fire safety regulations and such...
Honestly, I think I would like you to play his other game. You can tell a lot of love went into this one. Although it looks like he unfortunately didn't have the knowledge or funds to make the game exactly what he envisioned. The extremely brief clip you showed of his other game already looks leagues better. So I'd be interested to see how he's improved. I'm sure it's still rough, but it's nice to see a game actually have potential in this series.
Honestly, you can't even be mad at this game. $4 for what is clearly a passion project made by some guy who genuinely just wanted to show his ideas to the world before his budget of four peanuts presumably ran out. Kind of admirable.
Honestly this game is too quaint for this series. If it had some bug fixes and rebalancing it could have been a really fun indie game. Shame it doesn't seem to have been finished.
I would play this game if a slightly bigger studio remade it and they hired the main voice actor again. There needs to be more dino-hunting games plus I need to know if the MC is a clone, time traveling, or was just in a coma for years after the plan crash. Lying in the wilderness somehow unharmed, maybe the toxic air protected him and kept him alive.
14:32 "tablet that for some reason the battery is still working" it's an e-reader, once the screen is set to a certain image, it draws essentially no power whatsoever, so the battery thing is not really a problem. just a random detail to know
Compared to other games in this series, this seems really competently put together. If they had a bigger budget / bigger team, they definitely could have ironed out the weird bugs and giving it the polish it deserves
@olivercharles2930 now it's been awhile since I watched this video so I might be miss remembering some things but don't think this game was that bad. I'm not saying this is the greatest game of all time and everyone should go out and buy it, but it didn't have floating assets, constant crashing or just broken features. It seemed playable from point A to B, had a decent gameplay loop and passable story and lore. The only major bug I remember is when the dinosaur knocked Wiz through the door causing a sequence break that got him stuck. This is a hard bug to find though as it requires a very specific circumstance to occur, so even if a huge QA team were testing this, it might have gone unnoticed. So I don't think this game is a dumpster fire. It's decent, not good and not great. Especially compared to the buggy asset flips with text to speech voice acting that seems to be the standard for this series
@@AkillesOfSweden It is a buggy mess, overall mediocre gameplay, painful voice acting and boring story/lore. Maybe not a dumpster fire, but not the passionate love letter to video games or whatever the comments pretend it is.
You're missing the point. The title of this video was "worst game on Steam ?". Quite obviously it's not. There are a few bugs here and there, but nothing game breaking. The reviewer got to the end of the game, so the bugs are not that bad. It seemed like he had some fun along the way. For a one man band game it's a very decent effort, with a fair degree of programming skill on display. I've seen far worse on Steam for 10 times the price. It's unfair to compare this title with some of the low end garbage that' s created by people who know nothing about coding.
Ive been watching your other chanel for a while now and i only recently just discovered this one as well and ive gotta tell you I appreciate how much effort you put into your videos - it really pays off, great work man! I love your content and I'm very happy every time i see you upload new vid :)
I love how they tried to capture the feeling of Jurassic Park with the design of the dinosaurs and the sounds they make. The raptors even sound like the JP raptors but pitched way up
weird how the passengers on the plane first were sitting hunched over like waiting for the plane to stop for a toilet break, and then did the same moves in sync
A bit late to the channel but loving what you're doing so far Wiz! Most of the games you play are... questionable to say the least. But out of what I've seen so far, this one definitely has some genuine commitment to it. It's completely obvious that someone (or persons) had a passion and tried to do the best of their ability (and budget) to make it happen. I wish the best to the developer of this game, and I wish the best for you! You got a subscribe from me that's for sure. (edit) And I must say, the voice acting in this game is far beyond what I expected of a indie game of this kind (Thats if it isn't AI, sometimes its hard to tell nowadays), cheers to the VA's too. I'm actually glad some RUclipsrs are willing to go into the depths of indie games on steam, sometimes getting some attention will be enough for them to try harder... and you never know, they might improve and create a great game one day.... or they might just continue to scam you and try to use your PC as a crypto miner... I guess its the way it goes
You're pumping out content in an insane rate! Don't burn yourself out! Also: are you going to review a 2D game some time aswell? I know that 3D games are just way easier to mess up and stuff but I hope that we soon get video about a 2D game.
Seems like Trespasser has inspired more games than just Half-Life 2. Trespasser also had a town that you theoretically needed a passcode for unless you found another way in and a bunch of color coded keycards.
This has so much potential. I hope the pushing forces behind this game get their shot at working on something with a full budget and a dedicated team. The voice acting is very good for what the game is. The physics are worlds above what similar projects have. The story is thought out, if a little spazzy. The love was there. I would absolutely play this, and be down to give anything else these guys made an honest shot.
Wow, it actually has more effort put into its development than both Ark: Screw the Customer to the Highest Degree Possible and The Isle combined. Huh. It's jankier than most games I've played, but, still beats both those titles. Will I ever buy it? Nope! Is that saying something about Ark: Survival Evolved and The Isle? yes.
damn, this was actually a really wild trip, and this game do seems like a bunch of awesome ideas kind of poorly executed, but that actually got made to at least work, really, REALLY cool imo.

For what it is, it looks like someone's actually trying to make a game.
I kept thinking my phone or PC were vibrating somehow throughout this entire video.
Realised 8 minutes in that it was ingame. What the fuck.
Okay the dark souls boss gag had me dying of laughter after having a miserable week. I needed that. Bless this series and your editing
The voice acting in the game is actually pretty good, especially the MC. He has so much expression, no dialogue feels forced and sounds really natural
If anyone's wondering the song at 1:17 is called "Be there soon" by Katherine Penford
When ever I see a game like this I always imagine what it would be like if it were magically playable 30+ years ago. Like would it be considered one of the best games ever made because of its crazy realistic graphics and unheard of gameplay?
30 years this would obviously blow everyone mind , 30 years is a lot of time , try 10 or 15
30 years ago, nobody would be able to play this game. PCs most definetly wouldn't be able to handle such a game. But if it would be possible... I've always thought the same. People call most games shit but back then this would sell millions of copies
this was. so incredibly entertaining. the voice acting was genuinely pretty good. whoever made this really cared andi love it
There's definitely a labor of love here. With more money and experience, the dev(s) could make a more proper title. Novice devs do deserve some respect when they actually try to entertain people.
This series is great. The devices look more like e-readers and might explain why the batteries still work.
The research facility had a magnetic lock on the door but no power. Then you turn the power on to unlock it...but thats the opposite of how mag locks work. They only hold closed when they have power. Nit picky i know but it bothered me
Dude, magnetic locks only means the lock is opened/closed with magnetic device like a solenoid that push or pull the lock pin into position. It only needs power when the solenoid need to be charged. No idiot will design a lock that will constantly need power to make the door magnetized so they will stick to the metal door frame...........🤣
@webbit1024 i hate to be be bearer of bad news my friend. But the most common magnetic locks for doors have a metal plate bolted to the door and basically a big ass magnet attached to the frame. If the magnet loses power the door is free to open. Trust me i install them almost daily for my job.
@webbit1024 look up dyna-lock mag lock
@@cryptic_nightmares561 I know that kind of door, they are not for high security places, like a bio lab main door. Those doors are mainly for public area with the purpose to limit access to non authorized persons, and will not be limiting access in case of power failure for people to evacuate the area. Anyone who install that kind of door on the front gate of a high tech bio lab that tries to bring dinosaurs back to live, would be a moron.
@@cryptic_nightmares561 Why not have it the other way around, so the bolt is in the frame and only gets pulled in when powered on?
Edit: After like 5sec of thought, that's probably a huge NO due to fire safety regulations and such...
So the plane crashes and our guy was lying in the middle of the dinosis jungle....unconscious for years?!!! Makes no sense, he woulda been Dino food
Gonna be honest, the voice acting is pretty impressive.
Considering the name of this series the last two games look pretty good
Honestly, I think I would like you to play his other game. You can tell a lot of love went into this one. Although it looks like he unfortunately didn't have the knowledge or funds to make the game exactly what he envisioned. The extremely brief clip you showed of his other game already looks leagues better. So I'd be interested to see how he's improved. I'm sure it's still rough, but it's nice to see a game actually have potential in this series.
I love this series so much 💫
Is this only £3.99? You definitely got a lot more out of it than I was expecting!
It’s bad, but also not as offensive as the other titles here
This is the type of game you would see in mobile game ads
this is the type of game that a mobile game ad describes
Honestly, you can't even be mad at this game. $4 for what is clearly a passion project made by some guy who genuinely just wanted to show his ideas to the world before his budget of four peanuts presumably ran out. Kind of admirable.
This series is the best. I'm always excited to see another one of these "Worst Games" videos.
3:39 That thump! I could not stop laughing!
21:55 after this conversation I'm questioning if Whiz was the voice actor for the protagonist
This isn’t terrible if it’s one of their first ever projects.
yes it is, you don't release shit like this to public, you should keep grinding
@@1758
Kay. What games have you made?
@artsyscrub3226 not games but a lot of mods for Skyrim and Garry's Mod, however I dont have to be a baker to tell if the bread is good.
@@1758bro what are you even saying 😂 chill
@@hordem these are facts and ik what im sayin, how old are you bro like 10?
Honestly this game is too quaint for this series. If it had some bug fixes and rebalancing it could have been a really fun indie game. Shame it doesn't seem to have been finished.
I guess that the key to surviving the poisonous atmosphere is just having an excessive amount of sass. Huh.
Hey developer, if you read this. Keep up the work man, you have great ideas.
I would play this game if a slightly bigger studio remade it and they hired the main voice actor again. There needs to be more dino-hunting games plus I need to know if the MC is a clone, time traveling, or was just in a coma for years after the plan crash. Lying in the wilderness somehow unharmed, maybe the toxic air protected him and kept him alive.
thomas burt, age 45,gave himself up to the colony after the incident. he is now helping rebuild for the future.
Lol. #rlm
@@andrewgwilliam4831 irrelevant
14:32 "tablet that for some reason the battery is still working"
it's an e-reader, once the screen is set to a certain image, it draws essentially no power whatsoever, so the battery thing is not really a problem.
just a random detail to know
As a swedish guy, the fact that the game had swedish as a language option makes it worth every penny lmao
I would be surprised if the Swedish translation wasn't done with google, especially if they don't know Swedish.
This my favorite series on RUclips hands down
26:28 looks like Carlos' men are here too.
Open the door
Ragdoll on the floor
Everyone walk the dinosis
That song playing before the plane crash was a banger! 😂
Had its issues, but I've seen a lot worse. Not a low effort dump of random assets, but, somebody's legitimate attempt to make something decent
0:45 Please tell Square Enix this. Changing language in FF16 is tiring because it uses the same way to change the language that this game uses
Compared to other games in this series, this seems really competently put together. If they had a bigger budget / bigger team, they definitely could have ironed out the weird bugs and giving it the polish it deserves
I disagree. There is nothing competent about this. I feel like this comment section is too lenient on this dumpster fire of a game.
@olivercharles2930 now it's been awhile since I watched this video so I might be miss remembering some things but don't think this game was that bad. I'm not saying this is the greatest game of all time and everyone should go out and buy it, but it didn't have floating assets, constant crashing or just broken features. It seemed playable from point A to B, had a decent gameplay loop and passable story and lore. The only major bug I remember is when the dinosaur knocked Wiz through the door causing a sequence break that got him stuck. This is a hard bug to find though as it requires a very specific circumstance to occur, so even if a huge QA team were testing this, it might have gone unnoticed.
So I don't think this game is a dumpster fire. It's decent, not good and not great. Especially compared to the buggy asset flips with text to speech voice acting that seems to be the standard for this series
@@AkillesOfSweden It is a buggy mess, overall mediocre gameplay, painful voice acting and boring story/lore.
Maybe not a dumpster fire, but not the passionate love letter to video games or whatever the comments pretend it is.
You're missing the point.
The title of this video was "worst game on Steam ?".
Quite obviously it's not.
There are a few bugs here and there, but nothing game breaking.
The reviewer got to the end of the game, so the bugs are not that bad.
It seemed like he had some fun along the way.
For a one man band game it's a very decent effort, with a fair degree of programming skill on display.
I've seen far worse on Steam for 10 times the price.
It's unfair to compare this title with some of the low end garbage that' s created by people who know nothing about coding.
Ive been watching your other chanel for a while now and i only recently just discovered this one as well and ive gotta tell you I appreciate how much effort you put into your videos - it really pays off, great work man! I love your content and I'm very happy every time i see you upload new vid :)
I love how they tried to capture the feeling of Jurassic Park with the design of the dinosaurs and the sounds they make. The raptors even sound like the JP raptors but pitched way up
That pubg bridge screenshot gave me ptsd lol.. sorry for the late comment, I’ve just discovered your channel/ this series ❤
Dude the celebration noise put me on the floor... that was so out of left field man.
Truth being that this game had potential and the love put into it can be felt.
rating: 7/10
weird how the passengers on the plane first were sitting hunched over like waiting for the plane to stop for a toilet break, and then did the same moves in sync
A bit late to the channel but loving what you're doing so far Wiz! Most of the games you play are... questionable to say the least. But out of what I've seen so far, this one definitely has some genuine commitment to it. It's completely obvious that someone (or persons) had a passion and tried to do the best of their ability (and budget) to make it happen. I wish the best to the developer of this game, and I wish the best for you! You got a subscribe from me that's for sure. (edit) And I must say, the voice acting in this game is far beyond what I expected of a indie game of this kind (Thats if it isn't AI, sometimes its hard to tell nowadays), cheers to the VA's too. I'm actually glad some RUclipsrs are willing to go into the depths of indie games on steam, sometimes getting some attention will be enough for them to try harder... and you never know, they might improve and create a great game one day.... or they might just continue to scam you and try to use your PC as a crypto miner... I guess its the way it goes
He was on his way to Newark. That explains it.
I remember seeing game play of this game back in 2017, only saw the episode 1 and remember wanting to play it so much
7:49 your humor always hits like no other RUclipsr can, and for that my nose is burning from Pepsi
I mean... yeah... at least there was thought put into this game. It's not just a lame asset flip. Someone had a story to tell, and told it.
Honestly this would've made for a much better Lost series pilot.
I don't have to say "to be honest" because this is an awesome game not created by a flagship company.
How has no one pointed out the underground annoying guy is a 1:1 for Mark Zuckerburg?
You're pumping out content in an insane rate! Don't burn yourself out!
Also: are you going to review a 2D game some time aswell?
I know that 3D games are just way easier to mess up and stuff but I hope that we soon get video about a 2D game.
The bridge joke had me dying
🎵"were gunna cross the deep blue sea, wait and see"🎶 *0.1 second later the plane explodes *
That bit made me laugh so freaking hard
The fact that I'm doing my uni work for physics and wiz says, "haha, physics" made it feel all too real
Honestly if this guy had more funding and more time he probably could have made a really good game, you can already see the bones of something great
Definitely! It looks janky (in a way that is kinda fun) but an attempt has really been made at making an interesting story
15:37 Well that was awfully nice of him to help you get into the building :).
17:20 glad to know my favorite dino species put you in your place for a bit
Seems like Trespasser has inspired more games than just Half-Life 2. Trespasser also had a town that you theoretically needed a passcode for unless you found another way in and a bunch of color coded keycards.
20:39 Team Magma is that you?
The devs effort is on full display. Not the best game ive seen. But in all honesty, it's got more soul than most AAA games these days.
Finally, I was wondering when a new upload would come, though. was looking forward to this !
This has so much potential. I hope the pushing forces behind this game get their shot at working on something with a full budget and a dedicated team. The voice acting is very good for what the game is. The physics are worlds above what similar projects have. The story is thought out, if a little spazzy. The love was there. I would absolutely play this, and be down to give anything else these guys made an honest shot.
Wow, it actually has more effort put into its development than both Ark: Screw the Customer to the Highest Degree Possible and The Isle combined. Huh. It's jankier than most games I've played, but, still beats both those titles. Will I ever buy it? Nope! Is that saying something about Ark: Survival Evolved and The Isle? yes.
damn, this was actually a really wild trip, and this game do seems like a bunch of awesome ideas kind of poorly executed, but that actually got made to at least work, really, REALLY cool imo.
Some one give the guy who made this game a full studio and budget , I bet they could make some pretty good games.
Thanks for keeping in the Ginosaur line. Gave me a chuckle.
