Regions of Ruin

I tend to be a little more lenient with free games and games I already find in my library, as they are effectively free. And so I had somehow gotten Regions of Ruin, though I'm quite sure I never bought it. It doesn't have a great review score, but honestly, I'm surprised it got one even that high.

Aside from having relatively much content and not garbage art, everything else I saw in this game looked like someone's solo first commercial video game project. Incredibly clunky movement, the most basic of combat actions, nearly no animations, badly designed UI, unintuitive gameplay... I can't go into depth because I had such a bad time at the start that I quit very shortly after. Let me share my opening minutes.
The tutorial got skipped because an enemy forced me to keep backing off since the game hadn't told me the correct keys for combat yet, and then told me to "dash to skip the tutorial". In an effort to not do that, I pressed space, hoping to either attack or jump over the enemy, but it was of course the key to dash. (Jump existed but was unbound. Or maybe it wasn't, because half the UI wasn't visible due to the text not fitting into its boxes, so settings and/or keybindings seemed unlabelled.) Arrow keys were the ones to attack by the way. After forcibly skipping the tutorial I tried to gather wood with the axe I was given at the start considering I was in a forest and this was a game about building a settlement (among other things), but of course trees can't be cut down for wood and the axe is effectively cosmetic. I proceeded to run into an archer who was out of my reach because I couldn't aim my throwing weapon, and who proceeded to kill me because I wasn't told I could use my shield.

I hope even just a fraction of my frustrations got through from this. I did even give it another try by restarting the game, but even "properly" playing, the game was far from anything fun in neither the combat nor the building aspect. Stay away from this one, it's really bad.
