It has an interesting premise, but its not really enough to carry the game through its entire runtime. There isn't much going on mechanically and the story does an awkward job of balancing depth with brevity. If you only play the original route then the game falls flat and doesn't offer enough substance to make the experience feel worthwhile, while playing the expanded version and true route inflates the story with more plot threads than the game can give justice to with its short runtime.

Mechanically, there isn't really anything of note. You solve a few simple puzzles and, while they occasionally involve going outside the game to check files on your computer and do similar stuff, it never felt all that meaningful to the experience. It felt like more of a reminder so you don't forget the game is all cool and meta rather than anything that actually pushes the experience further.

What OneShot does have going for it is its charm. Niko is a cute character and its hard not to have at least a little bit of affection for him. The general vibe of each area also works effectively at showing how the world is slowly decaying and falling apart. But while it did work, charm alone isn't enough to carry an entire game.

OneShot isn't bad per se, but it definitely fell below my expectations. While there are a few neat ideas at play they lacked enough depth to feel satisfying on their own nor did they have enough cohesion to work well as a patchwork of many small concepts. It's a short enough game that these issues aren't too grating, but it does mean this ended up being a much more forgettable experience than I was expecting.

Отвратительно. Игра сделанная на рпг мейкере и наследующая все мерзкие стороны игр на нем - интерфейс, алогичность загадок и тд. К играм на этом движке итак применяется огромнейшая скидка по внешнему виду, так как предполагается что это позволяет развернуться на полную нарративу, миру и истории. Но тут мы имеем очень слабенький клон андертейла который выжимает эмоции на том что "блин маленький котик хочет вернуться к маме((", проработка мира заканчивается на паре предложений, в остальном же это просто максимально посредственная игра, чья популярность к сожалению объяснима.

Esse jogo é uma fofura, e tem mecânicas muito legais!
De fato algumas coisinhas se embolam um pouquinho na jogatina, acho que por causa do mapa gigantesco, mas não me incomodou tanto assim.

Amei os segredos da “rejogada” e a história em si me deixou bem emocionado.
Palmas pros produtores por fazerem ume protagonista que pode ser canonicamente afirmade como não binárie. Eu sorrio toda vez que lembro. Te alo Niiko.

I'm not going to say much about OneShot, because it is simply one of those games you should go into blind. But OneShot has one of the best stories I've ever experienced in a game, and I've never felt a greater connection towards a story in a video game.

If I must reveal something about this game, I might as well mention my favorite quirk. This game goes through a great effort to incorporate you as a player into the narrative. And I don't mean going through your system files to see the name you use for your computer profile so they can say your real name. I mean incorporating you and your role in this game into the story in an actually meaningful way. I have never seen this done before in a video game, and it was wonderful.

é legalzinho e trabalha bem o conceito do "oneshot"...............porem nao sei......... nao me prendeu tanto, tanto que levei um tempinho pra terminar
quebra a quarta parede de formas interessantes mas acho que acaba se embolando em alguns momentos... os bagulhos que eram pra ser usados só lá no final eu encontrei no início procurando coisa que era pra usar no lugar onde eu tava...
comecei a quebrar a regra mas fiquei com preguicinha e acabei perdendo meu acesso ao game então não rolou de qualquer forma... mas talvez seja melhor assim mesmo.
daria meia estrela a menos pela miinha experiência pessoal mas reconheço o brilho da obra e o trabalho com o conceito então tome aí 4
