The Hideaway Reviews

Wow bro, I cant even in good faith give you $1.99 for this game. Requesting a refund. This seems like some sort of high school computer graphics art project. This isnt even a Game. THIS IS NOT EVEN A GAME! Why are you taking up valuable server space on Steam for this Royal piece of Garbage. Stop Stealing. Stop Stealing. Your like a Homeless person managing to squeeze $1.99 out of passerbys in order to go buy a McDonalds Cheeseburger. Get a real job, leave the gaming design to people who actually have some educational background in such things. Why is it so hard to find a good game anymore? All I want is a decent FPS, Openworld, with crafting. I want to explore stuff. Seems like any fu*ktard can slap something together and sell it on Steam. Tired of this s**t. You just bought a bunch of assets from "The Forest" and puked them together. Get good at Life bro.

Absolutely broken. To start, when you want to jump into the game, it defaults to Exploration every single time. There's the Tutorial, Survival and Exploration tabs in the upper left that are easy to miss. Why wouldn't it default to Tutorial for your first time? Anyway, from there the tutorial is just a bunch of pop-ups that tell you what to do without you actually doing them until the tutorial is over. After I went through all of the pop-ups, my screen was shaky and I couldn't get it to stop. It was showing that I was cold, but standing literally on top of the fire did nothing. Then, I somehow got bit by a snake, but my health was full the whole time and all of a sudden I just dropped dead. So I jump into Survival. Well, I TRIED. Three times, actually. When you load into Survival, the screen is black with text giving a brief explanation of what happened and your goal. Well, before that screen even disappeared, an animal killed me. Don't even know what it was. So I started out dead. And when you die, it just kicks you back to the main menu. That happened one more time after that. Then, on the third and final try in Survival, the entire screen was blurry/out of focus and never corrected itself. I just gave up.

I've only played a few minutes of this game by now, but theres sooooo much to say. In short, this game is Early Acces and it obviously shows. There are an unplayable amount of bugs in this game such as invicible constructing items, screenshake, UI issues, menu bugs, ... I love the idea, graphics and playstyle of this game but as of right now its bland, hard to play and very unpolished. It seems like if Raft met Firewatch and made a baby which is amazing and deceptively simple. Its peaceful and fun to play, while also being relatively complicated to survive. As of right now I wouldnt spend your money on this game unless you want to see this game make it like I do and want to support the developer. Although if this game will someday leave the deloping stage I will probably love it and so will many other people. I recommended this game just for better reviews and I believe someday this will be actually true but as of right now its too early to say.
