First of all, I want to congratulate the developers on their debut and wish them new success. Overall, well done, they managed to do it. Don't stop there and move forward boldly to new heights.
The plot, atmosphere, dialogue, sound, humor - it’s very good, no less than 8/10. Overall 6/10.
And now about the sad thing. Or rather, a few tips to avoid failures and mistakes in the future.
1. The person(s) who introduced locks with light bulbs popping up at the snap of a finger into the game will be severely beaten and kicked out of the team with pissing rags. With all the variety of options with logical and mathematical codes, you don’t understand what to choose. There is no cure for this. This is the bottom, gentlemen.
2. Introduce the person(s) who introduced boring, stupid, boring jump puzzles into the game to the Tomb Raider series of games. Make me play TR closely, at least 10 hours a day for two months. To make you sick from jumping. And explain in a good way that this topic has been closed for a long time in a more qualitative and better manner. Therefore, it is better to write games without perversions with jumping in absolutely unlimited quantities. If they realize and take the path of correction, then to forgive and allow them to work under strict supervision is no more difficult than “bring coffee”, “wash the floor”.
3. The person(s) who introduced indestructible hives and an endless supply of repair “bees” into the game will be deprived of bonuses and warned about the possible consequences from clauses 1 and 2.
4. Make it a rule to add training to your games. What prevented you from making a prologue: “...several months before the incident, Major Nechaev was engaged in military training at the training ground”? Where to teach the user to press the correct buttons to sit down, reload, insert a cassette player, etc.? Why do you need to look for answers to this online and not in the game?
5. Do not overload the game with an unnecessary amount of extracted resources for leveling up. 2-3, well, maximum four! Why so much? Sheer stupidity.
If the Mandfish team does not do this obvious work on the mistakes, then the next developments will with 100% probability fail. The current grades for AH are an advance, there will be no second chance.
