don't, just don't

you can finish it in 1 hour

it still very bad
the developer said they improved 120 thing in the game , i think this game need 1200 improvement

they still gonna make episode 2 ,, and they gonna do it for PS4 , Xbox one too
episode 1 used UNITY engine
in episode 2 they will use unreal

Needs a kickstart for Wii U ASAP.
 
I've never seen such brutal review quotes

Lets test that Uncharted-clone Unearthed, they said. It will be hilarious, they said. And it is. If you find mental torment to be “hilarious”. We simple cannot decide which part of the varied gameplay we hate the most.

Useless, horrible, horrendous, unintentionally comical. Unearthed: Trail of Ibn Battuta Episode 1 is the worst game available on the market: a one hour and a half agony.

Avoid like the Black Death.

I just finished it. Took about an hour and was probably THE worst game I have ever played. Not one redeeming quality about it. I would advise people to just avoid it like the plague.

Noticed this intriguing tidbit during the credits though,

Don't think I need to highlight what i'm talking about.

Early contender for worst game of the year?

I like how all the reviews on the Steam store page seem to just be preview impressions and not reviews of the final product. Is that allowed?

I can understand people wanting to support game development in the middle-east but should people reward them for making a bad game just because they tried? I guess it helps that the game is only $5 so people that want to support them aren't spending too much. The only things they should be praised for in my opinion are the PC-exclusive features. 1080p and 60FPS! It would help if the game looked good though.

I.. I'll admit i'm not arab but anyone fantasizing of being that guy and travelling with that chick.... Don't even get me started, guess my taste are far off from muslims, but i don't think those model will meet the taste of many western gamer, let alone the whole ripoff thing..

she's kinda cute dude. whatever.
 
I think some of the mocking should be scaled back. I mean Naughty Dog = Hollywood of gaming VS Developer from a region not blessed in game development. There's nothing to mock, in fact it's quite said that the Arab world isn't able to make appealing games..
Sure, it's a commendable effort. If a few years ago you would've told me a Saudi's development studio would develop a game that would land on the PS Store and Steam I wouldn't have believed you. With that said, you have to judge a game for what it really is, which is here "BAD"
To its defense, it didn't portray Morocco as Saudi's media usually does, ha ha

As developpers go, Ubisoft Casablanca is still better though

I kind of want to buy it on steam to see how awful it really is but I think I will wait for it to drop to a dollar or below in a steam sale.
 
Downloading as fast as comcast allows, will post results. I just finished uncharted 3, I was just thinking I'll need a chaser for that remarkable piece of software engineering.

To be fair, Uncharted is one of the hardest games to (cheaply) rip-off, since relies heavily on it's high production values.

What? another Troy? i mean, Troi Baker, Troy Vaker or Troy Backer...
 
Of everyrhing in the trailer, my favorite part is when the camera waits for its cue to start panning up as the slightly diagonally driving car drives up the road and never even hints at turning when it gets to the curve. So awesome.
 
After beating it, whatever it's not that bad. It's not good, but anyone saying 'zomg worst game evar' is either drowning in hyperbole or hasn't played that many games.

Shit it's better than Duke Nukem Forever. Mostly because it's only 1 hour long instead of 10.
