The "Winter Survival" Game - An Analytical Rant
448Winter Survival is a game by Drago Entertainment. It has some novel ideas and some good-looking graphics, but something is just off about it... why can't I get immersed into it? Let's analyze.
Note: There is some background noise when I speak during quiet segments, but I couldn't remove this as it warped the ingame audio too much. It's not too noticable except when the game is quiet, but apologies nonetheless.
I have also emailed the developers the video and outlined some of the concerns in writing.
