  A healthy community and more content are signs that the game is finding an audience that finds its mix of mechanics attractive. Residual is a great example of what a carefully crafted indie title can offer to fans.

  Still, even with a small handful of flaws, this is a solid game. Residual has awesome pixel art, a unique premise, addicting gameplay, and the promise of unique playthroughs every time you start a new game. While it’s not a perfect game, my complaints are fairly minor all things considered. I’d definitely recommend this game to anybody looking for a unique survival/platformer mashup.

  Residual is a comprehensive survival experience that fans of the genre will absolutely adore. Exploring the procedurally generated planets feels a bit daunting at first, but when the game opens up and starts dishing out essential resources, it becomes a lot more manageable. There are a few teething issues that we hope will be ironed out in time, like the confusing inventory UI, overly frequent need to eat/sleep, and the slightly dodgy navigation controls, but overall Residual is a fun, engaging 2D survival game that can sit proud alongside genre heavies like Minecraft and Don’t Starve.

  Residual is great for a quick survival experience, with less in-depth gameplay than other survival titles. Those who like Minecraft's Vanilla mode will likely enjoy the unique worlds, goal-oriented exploration, and resources collection. However, gamers looking for a complex survival experience like Terraria or Valheim may find the lack of standard survival mechanics frustrating and limiting while exploring.

  Το Residual είναι ιδανικό για όσους αναζητούν ένα παιχνίδι επιβίωσης που κινείται σε γοργούς ρυθμούς, δίχως πολύπλοκους μηχανισμούς. Ναι μεν αναφέραμε τα μειονεκτήματα των randomly generated κόσμων, όμως η διαφοροποίηση αυτή εξασφαλίζει το replayability, που πιθανό να οδηγήσει σε εκατοντάδες ώρες ενασχόλησης. Το βέβαιο είναι ότι οι fans του είδους αξίζει να του δώσουν μία ευκαιρία.
