Bear Simulator reviews

The game is very expensive for what you will get. After 30 minutes of continuous walking, in poorly textured walls, you will find yourself spinning in circles, picking up the little beasts that get stuck in the walls, ducks untouchable to level up. A Hamnurger is only edible after a dozen levels, so it went wrong. Along the way you will have the chance (or not) to cross various small animals such as foxes or desert wolves, who will kill you in three strokes, even if they turn your back or are a few meters away. The only amazing thing is that the vegetation is more beautiful than the modeled rabbits. A simulation of walking in a map more decorative than aesthetic, things to eat that require dozens of levels, a Hitbox that gets stuck in most walls... At your peril.

I would have liked to enjoy this game. Play a bear? Being a big brute a little clumsy and especially very curious multiplying the explorations and blunders? I'll sign it. Only here, here, the pataud side is mostly due to a catastrophic physics. The hunt boils down to waiting for an animal with an AI and a failed pathfinding to want to smash their heads on a wall to finally have a chance to hit it. Other animals remain there (like the Fox), indifferent to your presence and wait until finally you type them, since nothing else is possible, for a fight to the animations. who do not hesitate to show you a Fox that vaguely raises paws back rather than face you, or what would make more sense, run away. In my bear spirit a bit silly I infer the following logic: yum rabbit yum but wait to block it against a wall, yum yum Fox but Ouch ouille before. The game also accumulates frustrations: when after spending a lot of time looking for a food to eat to earn "bear points" to acquire new skills you discover that you do not yet have enough intelligence to eat it (and Yes eating a hamburger requires some intelligence), or when you find a fence to smash but have to wait to come back with a strong score that you are not ready to have. In both cases, you return rabbit farmer... It's really a pity because this game had good ideas. There was a humor assumed (especially the content of the messages left in the "smells" of other animals) and visually it was rather pretty and especially, unlike the bear, not at all greedy. We also feel that there is a history of filigree, with a disappearance of humans following I do not know what catastrophe. But everything is ruined by technique. But it would have been a little bit of a good game. Test it on sale if you have the patience to chain up the heavy fights, but in the State €15... It's better.
