Draw Rider 2 Review
Not Recommended
A good prototype, but not a good game.
A charming idea and prototype execution, but has numerous gameplay, pacing, introduction and quality issues that make it not a good game.
+ Nice idea
+ Interesting prototype-quality mechanics hinting something better being possible
- Bad English throughout
- Menus are navigatable in part by mouse and in part by keyboard, but not the other
- Music is super quiet, and thunder sound super loud blasting your eardrums
- Tutorial texts blend in way too late, way too short, way too localized, and at bad times
- Practically non-existant gameplay introduction and how to handle different obstacles
- Numerous obstacles you have to fail first and find out how to tackle them. No change to see that before and approaching it appropriately.
- Barely any settings, and disabling music or sound doesn't even work. No volume sliders either.
- Defaults to "fastest" graphics quality instead of "best", but even on best has visible aliasing (offer anti-aliasing please?)
Overall interesting but frustrating and cumbersome. Sparked some interest, but ultimately made no fun and was too frustrating because of a lack of overall quality and (gameplay) functionality.
