Dude, Stop reviews

I stop here now and write the Review. Dude, Stop is a little Puzzle Game. It's about doing pretty everyday Things, preferably to the Satisfaction or Dissatisfaction of the Speaker. A small Story is told, but it has nothing to do with the Puzzles. The Story is pleasantly funny, but in my Opinion interrupts the Flow of The game here and there. In General, there should be an Attitude that you can skip the Speaker. The Game, by the way, is not in German. Graphically, the Game is lovingly designed, but rather pixel art. So you have To like it, but you can also see unchanged on the Screenshots. The Speaker is terrific and even so the Sound effects are apt, though not Spectacle fireworks. Nothing special, but nothing to run away from. That brings me to the Conclusion. I recommend the Game. It's Fun and it's funny. However, I think the Price is rather inappropriate. I know the Game is from two Developers, but I would never buy it for the Full Price. Even at the Offer Price, I was hurting and rightly so, in my Opinion. I don't want to say I regret buying, the Game just offers rather little for the Money. For People looking for a hardcore conundrum here, by the way, the Game is nothing. It entertains and is not really demanding.

1:Genre(2/5) I would fit this game into a puzzle-solving and story-oriented genre. However, it isn't very good at being either one of those. Getting the puzzles correct or incorrect is too easy to figure out (the game usually even points it out to you), and the "story" is weak, not even as funny as the trailer would suggest. This game would need it's own genre: Lets play, not especially fun to play, but probably fun to watch somebody rant about on youtube. 2:Gameplay(2/5) Well, like I said, to easy and no real replay value. The puzzles get boring after one time playing and long voicelines keep you waiting to finally do the task. The objective of the game seems to be, that you do everything wrong. But you don't have to. The game allows you to be a good tester too, which is probably a nice feature, but I didn't expect that you HAD to do some puzzles right in order to advance... 3:Story(2/5) There is a feature for which some of my friends would give it 10/5 for, but from the trailer I expected way more storywise. It is actually the highlight of the game, but other than that I find the guy shouting at you to be more annoying than funny. And the story would have had so much more potential. It was fun sometimes. 4:Playtime(1/5) One playthrough - about 3h; if you want to solve all the puzzles - about 6h. 12,99€ is way too expensive. 5:Graphics&Sound (3/5) Can't complain about the pixel art. They could have had a few more objects in each picture, to make it less bland. Sound was okay too. Overall: (2/5) It would be okay for a different price, as a gift or if you are <12 years old. It can be fun, but there are many better games than this one, in a similar style and genre.
