The Beggar's Ride Reviews

Nice game in which you can spend hours of playing without noticing how much time has passed. (Well, this is just my opininion, since i often find myself lost in games like this very easyli.) Sometimes it's hard to solve the puzzle to continue, but that makes it more fascinating.

You need more than half a brain to solve the puzzles + be great at doing certain jumps. Also that last key in the pyramid... T_T I rather turn on (yeah, I know how that sounds) the sun and freaking ray sunbeam the sheep out everything. If there is no world, there is no more of anything. That means I both win and lose.

the sun dial puzzle is beyond difficult on controller - after millions of attempts i had to give up. the graphics and the game play really pretty and unique but the controls are a bit of a let down.

At the point of writing this review I have finished ~60% of the game Minor spoilers in the review: This game is about a beggar that finds a mask(s) that gives him godlike powers, sounds cheesy right? Well it isn't, it has a pretty intresting bigger backstory to it that I won't spoil. The music is pretty great and provides a nice calm atmosphere to the game, while the gameplay itself is AWSD to move and a right click to jump kind of control. The gameplay mostly involves solving puzzles that may sometimes be completely easy and sometimes might take a couple of tries, it may not be the easiest puzzle game but it kinda is easy. The graphics are cool and whenever you switch between your beggar self and god-like self the world around you changes in a cool way. However, I don't know if it's just me but the manuvering in the game and going through levels to unlock different powers is kinda hard, like rn I'm kinda stuck cuz I don't know where to unlock my last power. The level manuvering is kinda messed up because you don't know if you're sometimes going ahead of where you should be or if you're on track. That's probably the only negative thing I've noticed... I would recommend you get it but it's not rly a must-buy, it's still a pretty great game and I'd give it a 7/10. If the game is on sale (like it is the time I'm writing the review) then it would be pretty great to grab it. Hope I helped anyone with this review...

Good game ruined by bad controls and a floaty character.

Wasn’t so bad at the start, but got pretty annoying towards the end. Art style was okay and the sound was decent; narrator did a good job. I found the controls overall to be pretty crummy. I guess this is a case of a mobile port’s touch controls not faring as well on PC. The stupid Stonehenge/sun dial puzzle towards the end of the game broke me - spent way too much time trying to figure it out, to no avail. I even watched the one Youtube video that showed somebody successfully solving it; still made no sense to me. Gave it one last try and finally said f@ck it, I’ve wasted enough time on this BS. Thankfully, I got this for dirt cheap. Just wish I hadn’t spent my precious time on it. Even for a dollar or less I wouldn’t recommend this. 🙄👎

This game has a ton of beauty to it. The story is okay. The puzzles are easy.I believe that this game was an IOS port. That being said I found the found the platforming in the later part of the game to be way too penalizing for the keyboard/mouse. Jumping is always a problem and there is a lag at times. Very frustrating. I got the final part and said "that is enough". I read all the reviews statng how casual it is......they are obviously using a controller. If ou are like me and play games the old school way then I would say NO. Really too bad that it was sold as a casual game....and it just might be if played on a controller or in IOS format.

[b][u]See written review below[/u][/b] or watch it here: https://youtu.be/s251Jggt6dk [h1]TL;DR: SKIP TO CONCLUSION![/h1] The Beggar’s Ride is a casual puzzle platforming adventure with a well-told story. The game starts off fairly easy, and new mechanics are introduced as you discover mask abilities. You use this mask to enter God State to manipulate the area. By moving the earth, controlling the sun and moon, and making it rain, you solve puzzles to progress. I almost always enjoy puzzles in most games, so this game was no different. There were a couple areas that I died repeatedly, so I did find that the platforming got a bit harder towards the end, but I admit that I am not the greatest at platformers to begin with. Fortunately, the game is very forgiving. All the crystals you earned before you died still remain collected, so you don’t have to find them again. Also, with a fair amount of checkpoints throughout the game, and infinite lives, the game is friendly to people looking for a more casual experience. [h1]Pros:[/h1] [list][*]colourful, cute, and visually appealing animation style - everything looks great [*]a nice mix of puzzles and platforming with good gameplay mechanics [*]map showing all the checkpoints, and where you haven’t been to yet [*]map also allows for teleportation to certain checkpoints that you've already activated [*]awesome narrative - it was done extremely well, and it did an amazing job telling the story [*]good story: it conveyed a strong, positive message that some people might have forgotten...[/list] [h1]Cons:[/h1] [list][*]puzzles were too easy throughout the game[/list] [h1]Conclusion:[/h1] The Beggar’s Ride took me about 3-3.5 hours to complete. Normally, I don’t pay much attention to mobile games, so I had never heard of this game until its Steam release, but I am glad that the developers ported this over to PC. I enjoyed the game, and am completely satisfied with the purchase. If you're a fan of casual puzzle platformers with story, it’s a solid buy.

+ Great art style + Perfect voice over + Some nice puzzles (but never really a challenge) + A funny looking character! - Bad controls. Not optimized as they should have been (and this take its toll on the game's enjoyability) - Some puzzles are just absurd - Lacking full controller support (seriously, this is a must for this genre) Overall it's a fun and relaxing game. Recommended.
