Pan'orama
SCORE: 65
Recently it dawned on me that all of these companies send us
meaningless digital download codes for products that honestly have no
real world value to them. Digital downloads are so disposable especially
if they are on Steam. We were sent a code for Pan'orama. We did not ask
for a code for Pan'orama. We have strict rules on our Legal page that
the developer and publisher completely spit on and insult us.
Every so often I decide to add something to my Steam Deck. That way when
I am bored with Stumble Guys and Isla Sinaloa I have something else to
play for a review. I take my time with these games too. Why should I be
in a hurry for a company that is only treating us like slave labor? They
compete with companies that are paying for our time since they know it
makes them money.
I went through the tutorial of Pan'orama and it was clear as mud.
Actually I got stuck in the tutorial multiple times and could not find a
way to get it to move forward. I had to look up the buttons since most
of Pan'orama is not mapped very well. We place tiles and it creates
landscapes in Pan'orama. The interesting thing is we only can play so
many tiles. I never did figure out how to get more.
The controls in Pan'orama are convoluted and confusing. I saw the Steam
page and there are these gifs showing these massive creations that were
created. I guess you can also get animals and pet them at some point.
All I did with Pan'orama is fail again and again. I did not find
Pan'orama very relaxing. I found it confusing and aggravating. Maybe the
Steam Deck has something to do with that. I am not buying a new gaming
PC anytime soon.
I thought Pan'orama was going to be this wonderful casual experience.
The rules on what can be placed where and how it changes things is just
too complex to be considered a casual experience. I did not find any
violence or other major issues with Pan'orama. I also did not have any
fun with it either.
