Redaxium Reviews

I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing. Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side. With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of you. In fact, I may have played this game for only a day or two. That being said, after doing so, I had a new joy and hope for life. I managed to leave behind the pain and suffering that had been thrust upon me. I could experience the joy and happiness of other people. I relaxed for 5 ♥♥♥♥ minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay. After realizing this, I turned off the game and went back to work. My hand hurt a lot, but I was motivated. I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and became the father I needed to be at that moment, not the weak boy I was behaving like. Today, I am close friends with the mother of my children. We don't fight, argue, or say hurtful things to each other. We are parents and friends. Now I have 3 children. My third child is, wait, ALSO 4 YEARS OLD. The woman I am with was going through a very similar situation at the time of my separation, and we just unexpectedly stumbled into each other's lives. We have been dating for a year and are very happy together. Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today. This silly little game helped me realize that. Thank you.

My brain melt. good game tho

I was expecting a crueltysquad quality of game, really weird and clunky stuff but something that ends up coming together, or something compelling in a strange way or another. I do think this game is not there. Two of the stats in the game are noted as WIP and dont do anything (Without counting the fact that other stats in the game that are noted to be doing stuff don't seem to change anything), combats moves are meaningless, no matter what type of attack i did it always does the same damage, the UI is a bit too much broken. I like the idea behind it but the game is not fun, is not finished and what is there does not work properly.

I promised an old friend I'd buy this and kept my word. It got me to turn on my steam deck so that's an amazing feat. I will never play the game but I'm sure it's a masterpiece. I rate it 13 and a half ham n cheese Hot Pockets out of 5 hydraulic spools.

while redaxium may be appealing to some due to its weird and abstract outer layer, the actual game is filled with awkward controls, lazy graphical designs and a world that feels static and lifeless. but honestly, i could forgive all of this if it wasn't for how bizzarely self-centered the developer is. just take one look into the discussion section and you can see bright as day he's a power tripping manchild with an inability to respond to criticism in a mature manner. Not to mention, he quite literally copy and pasted this game as a 'sequel' which you can find and buy on steam right now as of typing, if you wanna start a new game off of the base of the previous, that's obviously 100% the right thing. but when you're putting a price tag on that game, when its clearly not even finished or has enough content to warrant having its own price, that's just evidence you live in a bubble.

This game is obviously the work of a visionary auteur and/or lone madman. It is very much an acquired taste. It plays with about the same ease as piloting a nuclear submarine by yourself. It consists almost entirely of "unconventional" design elements. It promises a great experience for those who dare enter Redaxium with an open mind.

I believe the there's just too much shit in this world. Whether it's video games or cereal, there are endless variations on the same few basic concepts. This has made us complacent: we stay squarely in the middle of our comfort zone, scared of the unknown, unwilling to explore the outer rims of this rosebud of life. Well how about for once you strap in, jack off, take a chance and head straight into the danger zone? Welcome to Redaxium, population: you. Perhaps you'll discover yourself there. Perhaps you'll discover that the game sucks. Does it really matter? Only one way to find out. Redaxium is the uncompromising brain-child of a visionary solo developer formerly known as Prosper. I first got acquainted with Prosper some decades ago when he was getting started with 3D modelling. He has certainly come a long way since then, but where has he arrived? Has he arrived? I don't think anybody knows, really, but I'll try to describe the game a bit. Redaxium is some sort of a RPG but it's unlike anything I've ever played. I've only played the game for maybe a few hours, and don't really understand anything about it. Besides I keep getting killed by rats. Everything looks bizarre and uncanny, nothing quite works as you'd expect it to work, all in all the whole experience is very surreal. Regardless of the developer's intentions, for me this game is nothing less than a work of art and I feel like I've already gotten my money's worth. Give it a try unless you're a chickenshit coward. An unexamined life is not worth living, said some old coot, maybe it was Saint Proverbius. I think it's a load of horse shit really, life in general is not worth living, but Redaxium is definitely worth playing.

Redaxium isn't going to be most people's cup of tea. But if you can leave your preconceptions at the door, you'll find yourself immersed in a singular experience from an idiosyncratic artist and developer. Is it strange? Is it clunky? Yes. It's also a genuine work of expression amidst a zeitgeist of inauthenticity. For that reason alone I recommend it.
