The Chemist reviews

Early Access Review The Chemist is one of the most promising early access Titles in a long time. The Concept is very simple: You are a rundown Chemist who works from Home. You get Offers to complete various Jobs for the Industry. Demand ranges from Food and Cosmetics to Cleaners and Insect Toxins. To do these Tasks, you have a comprehensive Arsenal of Chemicals at your disposal. You should now mix these Substances in order to produce a Product required by the Industry. In doing so, it is important to comply with Requirements and to comply with the Required Tolerances. For successfully completed Orders, You will be rewarded with Money and Exit. In Addition, special Events and Storylines can be triggered during Contracts, which are on the one hand very entertaining and on the other hand form the Background Story for the Game. When and which Events are triggered depends on Your Formulations and Your Reactions to events that are already going on. I had no Crashes or other serious technical Problems in several Hours of Play. Performance is impeccable with me (i7 4770, GTX970, 32GB Ram) and also in terms of content, the Game already has a lot to offer, even if it probably won't captivate you hundreds of Hours in front of the Screen. The Developer is very committed, active in the Forum and open to Suggestions and Wishes. Bugs are fixed in a short Time and the Community is still very small but friendly. The Price is quite reasonable for the Scope and Quality of the Game. The Chemist follows a simple Concept, has a Depth of play And requires a little Training time and Experience until you have familiarized yourself with all the Chemicals. Just crunching together doesn't really lead to Success. There is still a bit of a need to be screwed at the Level of difficulty. I've been playing at the lightest Level of difficulty for a couple of hours and I can just keep myself afloat Like that. A few smaller Bugs are available, so for example the Garbage Can always doesn't work properly or you are catapulted by lying around waste while overflowing across the Room, but is nothing world-moving and can be on the current State of Development Will certainly be forgiven. All in all, a successful Title that deserved a little more Attention. The new, unused Concept and the successful technical Implementation convince me to make a clear Buy recommendation For The Chemist. Pro:-refreshing new Concept-contemporary graphics-matching background music-good performance-dynamic Background Story-a very dedicated Developer-Price Contra:-smaller Bugs-difficulty level-steep learning Curve Addendum: The Difficulty level Once you have "incorporated" something, it seems to be quite appropriately chosen. The sandbox mode currently in The works will certainly make it easier for new Players to Get Started. Addendum 2: Sandbox mode has now been implemented and leaves nothing to Be desired.
