Mais voilà, le gros souci principal du jeu est sa technique et ce sera rédhibitoire pour une majorité de joueurs. Même sur Switch, il est difficile d’accepter de joueur à un jeu si faible graphiquement. C’est dommage car le jeu a quand même une proposition intéressante et qui sors clairement de nos habitudes de joueurs. … Expand

    I am saying it here, if this game was on sale, maybe its worth it but not the full price tag. The graphics is ok, but due to the controls, the whole thing comes off as laggy and unpolished. Seems like they are just trying to push out a game. The game play itself is fine, and the reaction of the NPCs and their speeches are accurate to the culture and people, but that's really all theI am saying it here, if this game was on sale, maybe its worth it but not the full price tag.

    It's a legitimately bad game. Saying it was rushed or even finished would be an overstatement. Having said that, I really enjoyed it and played it to the end. Some of the stuff that happends is just mental. I've never played anything like it. I was captivated.

    I got it half price, and it was just about worth it. Don't buy it full price and use a guide because some of the "puzzles"    It's a legitimately bad game.

    I was looking forward to this game but sadly the gameplay is repetitive, slow paced and shallow. I would also say the graphics are not very good for a modern day game and noticeable slow down and graphical glitches upon nearly every major catastrophe takes away from the immersion of the game.

I would also say the graphics are not very good for a modern day game and noticeable slow down and graphical glitches upon nearly every major catastrophe takes away from the immersion of the game. The disaster element of the game is interesting at first however the game is padded out by long fetch quests and guessing the sequence of speaking to people in order to progress to the next area, this is fine for a few scenarios but when it becomes the main gameplay pattern of the game it quickly becomes monotonous and a chore to play. Overall not recommended.… Expand

    The result is best described as a mixed bag: while the game features interesting characters, a degree of freedom that will have the players eagerly exploring the game world and multiple endings that act as an incentive to pick it up again, its technical performance is everything but a success. Indeed, Disaster Report 4 often feels clunky and clumsy and while some players might be able to look past this, others will not.

    Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories shows its side to undeniable technical criticisms, caused by a bad optimization and a game structure that would have been dusty fifteen years ago. However, it remains a cult game, made with heart and with a great concept behind it.

    From a technical perspective, the Switch port of Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories is an absolute mess. Narratively and artistically, however, it’s one of the most fascinating games in recent memory. Its emotionally engaging exploration of a disastrous incident’s human aftermath is about as far as it’s possible to get from the Hollywood blockbuster treatment – and it’s all the better for it. If you can fight past the technical shortcomings – which, it's worth stating, are pretty considerable – then you'll find an experience that's totally unique on Switch, and that's no mean feat when you consider the depth of the console's library.
