Too Damn Glitchy
It's too darn glitchy... but its an awesome game overall.
Reviews for "Shift: Freedom!"
Released prematurely?
Debug, debug, debug.
As has been mentioned several times now, there are serious lag issues and collision detection issues with the movable boxes. To the point that the game is nigh unplayable in areas with a lot of keys and gravity changes and so on. The timer makes the lag much worse.
Somehow I got stuck in a state for a while where I couldn't beat the game. It would just exit back to the menu after the first self-destruct room.
Mini-games are horrifically unresponsive over all.
Slider puzzles can all be solved in VERY few moves.
Diff puzzles ought to support point and click.
Pipe game medals aren't being awarded.
On the plus side, the movable boxes and colored shadow tiles are a nice expansion on game play. Though the game is MUCH simpler than the last one I played...
Incredibly glitchy, unplayable
Lots of lag. I don't know what's doing it, but it ruins the game.
Many times I got stuck inside blocks, went through blocks, went through walls, went straight through an arrow or key without activating it.
And then there's the mini-games... ugh. I'd be hitting the arrow keys, or clicking the mouse for ages before the game would react.
In the spot the difference games, I'd click directly on the difference, and it would not react until I had found the exact 1 pixel that you needed to hit. It wouldn't give me the point, or take one of my lives away. So on some level, the game knew I was trying to click the right thing... but why not just give me the point instead of merely saving me from losing a life? Pointless.
Graphics are okay, but the shading is too fuzzy.
I like the cutscene art, that was really nice and stylish.
I love the previous Shift games. This one looks like fun, but the glitches make it incredibly frustrating.
I would give this game a 7/10 if it weren't for the bugs.
Not bad
To the guy below I think it's your computer that has the issue, I experienced no lag or hit detection issues at all.
I cant believe it
Not only does this game lag alot, The diffotron game is nothing but a cheat. i noticed that the C in Chambers is off a little and it does not count it and it is very sensitive. Who's bright idea was it to make the selecting in the diffotron by the arrow keys? FAIL
