You Can See more reviews like this in the mentoring PIXEL 404 One of the good things I've always considered that has the PC platform is that it has no limit to the time to create genres, introduce new game styles or, as in this case , host minority sports to enjoy their followers or enjoy those who see it as a curiosity and want to try something different.
In PC has been happening for over 20 years, so it is not a novelty to find games like this: a game of petanque or bowling according to the place of the world where you are.
It is Always a risk, because usually these games are not usually too good, although there are their exceptions, like Floorball League, I do not know why the hell is not on Steam, as it is a very well done game and with great quality that perfectly recreates that sport.
However, and going back to petanque and particularly to this game, I will say that this game is bad. But bad with desire. It's not just that the graphics are terrible and the animations really upgradeable, is that the playable offer offered by this game is really limited.
It Has two game modes: individual match and tournament. But Eye do not get excited fan of Petanque, because the tournament is only the single party mode for five matches. So The offer is really simple.
That would not be a problem as such if during the meetings it was fun to play, but that goes. I am a neophyte of the world of petanque, but let's know that the goal is to leave your balls as close to the small red ball and move as possible from the adversary. Nor is there much mystery.
And that is what the company that has made the game must think, because the simplicity is brutal. Throwing the balls is simple and plainly the most basic thing in the world. You Choose direction and then press to give it momentum with a power bar and it's over. Two different types of pitches (accurate and strong) and three more inside the fort. Do You think that's enough? Well, you better, because there's nothing else.
The physics of the balls are a joke, and you can not give effect when launching, in fact you can not do anything. Just the comment. Although I will say it is quite funny to see throwing the balls to the players. The Palm of the hand completely straight and all wrongly done, and the ball stuck to the hand magically, or with a mucus, who knows. It reminded Me pretty much of the early 2000 games. Very funny Certainly, unless you have paid, as was my case.
On the other hand, the sound section is more of the same. The Ambient music seems to have been created by Paul the "Organ" in his house in two evenings. Boring, bland and overwhelmingly insulting. But that's not all, because there are also the voices that even if they are in Spanish is not so, but are in Mexican. It'S Great to hear the commentator say things like "desisiones", "Capes", "Atensión" and similar niceties.
I Can bear the Mexican accent, I don't like it in the games because I'm not used to hearing it, but I can stand it for this kind of games with few voices. What I can't bear is that I don't know how to pronounce the words. The bloody "Seseo" seems to me... Well, it really seems logical to me now that I think, because the game is a ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥, so the dubbing goes to the same level. At least they're coherent.
I Have returned few games on Steam, 3 at most, but with this I had to do it because even having spent only €2.50 I felt scammed. I played 21 minutes, and I was generous, cloth, because at 10 minutes I saw that this ship was adrift without remedy.
In short, listen to me and invest that money in going to take something to a park and watch the oldsters play petanque, because surely you will spend infinitely better. Often hodgepodge, although I will always remember with affection those balls stuck with snot to the palms of the hands of the players and those physics of the balls that seemed to be made of plastic. That yes, at least roll shot well, directly to the refund option.
