Denizen

Bu türde çok oyun oynadım ve bana göre bu oyunun hâlâ çok eksiği var. Buglar mevcut; mesela Episode 2 görevinde karavanı dışarı çıkartıp arabadan inersen ve tekrar içeri girersen karavan geri geliyor ve kapı da tekrar kapanıyor. Kısacası oyun bana ilerlediğimi hissettirmiyor. Görev yönlendirmeleri eksik. Görev yapıp para kazanıyoruz ama ne kadar kazandık, nasıl kazandık çoğu zaman belli değil. Market, manav gibi temel yerlerin nerede olduğunu bulmak bile zor. Bu gerçekten yaşam simülatörü mü? Zıplama ve eğilme gibi temel hareketlerin bile olmaması garip. Mekanikler yetersiz. Casino tarafı da oldukça sınırlı. Telefon gibi sistemler var ama oyundaki genel etkileşim miktarı çok az. Fikir güzel ama şu anki haliyle bana göre içerik, mekanik, yönlendirme ve etkileşim açısından çok eksik. I have played many games in this genre, and in my opinion this game still has a lot of missing features. There are also bugs. For example, in the Episode 2 mission, if you move the caravan outside, get out of the vehicle and then get back in, the caravan returns to its previous position and the gate closes again. In short, the game does not make me feel like I am progressing. Quest guidance is lacking. We complete missions and earn money, but most of the time it is not clear how much we earned or exactly how we earned it. Even finding basic places like a grocery store or market can be difficult. Is this really a life simulator? It is strange that basic movement mechanics like jumping and crouching are missing. The gameplay systems feel limited. The casino content is also very shallow. There is a phone system, but overall there are very few interactions in the game. The idea is good, but in its current state it feels very incomplete in terms of content, mechanics, guidance and interaction.

The game's concept is fantastic and really piqued my interest. I’ve played quite a few life simulation games, but I’ve yet to find one that truly delivers that perfect blend of freedom and a structured mission progression. I stumbled upon Denizen by chance, and after reading the developer's description and player comments, I felt it was worth giving it a shot. But honestly, the game feels incredibly rough and far from a finished product—it barely feels ready to leave Early Access. For instance, early on, my character suggested getting a job, so I tried the pizza delivery gig. (I have to admit, the pizza mini-game is actually quite engaging, though it does get repetitive and get bored after time—I haven't tried other jobs yet.) After working full-time—two shifts—I’d earned around $500, but by then, my character was getting hungry (I’d already eaten everything available in the house and my backpack). That’s where the frustration kicked in. Since my character had a car, I drove around the city to scout out amenities and hit the supermarket for groceries. I drove the entire map, only to find a single supermarket for buying food (I wonder why they don't offer online shopping to make things easier for new players?). All the other shops just sold cars or offered car customization. Did I miss something? There wasn't even a place to buy food near my character's starting home—only a shop selling... medicine? There’s a fast-food joint a ways off, but you have to travel quite a distance to get there—it’s not just a few steps away. As I mentioned earlier, the game’s concept is actually solid—I liked it enough to buy it despite the mixed reviews—but the execution really let me down. I think it might come down to a difference in mindset; since the developers aren't Asian, the underlying logic seems to be that players should turn to "illegal methods" to make money more easily than by working a regular job. It just felt weird—barely into the game, some random guy messages me to run errands for him. Then, before I’ve even finished my first "meal," some woman texts saying she’s being held captive in a mansion and needs rescuing. I went to check it out, only to find I needed lockpicking tools to get inside. (The thing is, from an Asian perspective, you’d delete a message like that instantly—it looks exactly like those trashy scam texts.)
