The Tomorrow Children (PS4) Review | CGM

The Tomorrow Children is one of the most boring, pointless games I’ve ever played, and even the thirstiest mining and crafting fans will surely be bored to tears.

Finally a site that had the courage to score this game so low. After playing for an hour or two I was already bored. As soon as you start there's a massive confusion on what you should do. For example, even Minecraft had a clearer sense of progression.
Big monsters appearing in later phases of game are gigantic health sponges. A group of people can shoot with cannons at it, and they still walk through your town, easily destroying your buildings.
Social aspect is the worst, since nearby players are displayed only for couple seconds before they disappear. You may think you're alone in town, but then suddenly a ghost pops up next to you and suddenly disappears. The servers are really bad at rending other players, so you don't really feel that sense of community which you should in a small town of worker bees.
For mining, it's basically - get tools, mine, use them up after 12~15 uses, go back to town, buy new ones for the money you've earned, repeat.

This game isn't for the fair minded.

Lightning Mr Bubbles3149d ago

Man Seriously 3.5/10? I had been waiting for this game for over a year because it looked so unique. When is it coming out anyway that it's already getting reviews?

dragonyght3149d ago

anything below 5 is either broken, unplayable or a mess of a game TTC is none of those like other game in the genre you either love it or hate, enjoy it or bore by it. its not a game for everybody.

game4funz3149d ago

Ouch. Not sure it is really that low.

DigitalRaptor3149d ago

Damn, son. Q-Games should not have gone ahead with the Early Access release.

...how did a site that's primary focus is selling digital keys get posted here?

Now I see they're using this poorly written "article" to push digital keys "Will you be diving into the fight? You can find a cheap Helldivers 2 key in our price comparison."

darkciide83d ago (Edited 83d ago )

It's a price comparison - how do you think news sites make money? At least this page isn’t selling your data to advertisers or anyone who wants it.

"Astro Bot has sold 1.5 million units copies in the 9 weeks since its release. Interestingly, 37% of those who purchased the game had not bought any first-party game from Sony in the past 2 years."

Not that Sony released a bunch of games during that timeframe huh?!!

RaiderNation171d ago

Release a great game at a reasonable price and it sells. Wow what a concept! :)

Cacabunga171d ago

So Sony wants to be good old Sony? Not a bad idea but then stop with horizon milking and gaas for a while

Eonjay171d ago (Edited 171d ago )

I don't really think people would very harping on GAAS if Sony had released more single player games. Although my two most played games this year are Sony's Helldivers 2 and Microsoft's Call of Duty... which are both GAAS.

Sony is big enough to make both work but they should do more of this and let their fans know the single player games are coming (even though we already know about at least 8 of them)

By the way this is good news. I love their single player games too.

Relientk77171d ago

Yes, that would be great, do that. We sure got some bangers this year with Stellar Blade, Astro Bot, and FFVII Rebirth.

RaidenBlack171d ago

2025 Yotei and DS2
2026 Wolverine + Horizon MP
2027 Naughty Dog new IP and Venom
2028 Santa Monica new IP and FFVII-3
2029
2030 Physint

goken171d ago

I hope they manage Yotei properly, put a gag order on that Voice actor, stop her from antagonising the whole player base.
Seriously, they should have been more careful choosing who represents their games. I have no issue with her, but i do see why her choice may be a concern for many people. It’s just not a risk worth taking

goken171d ago

All great games, but i think Sony talking about 1st party and i think in their minds Astro Bot isn’t one of those big games and wasn’t expected to be as successful as it turned out.

TheKingKratos171d ago

Finally... Sony this gen seems to learn all the mistakes Microsoft done and just repeated them.

TheKingKratos171d ago

Sony still on board with that sh1t too

No wonder this gen is so damn slow and boring... I need to see what Ps5 can do and play amazing single player games but the output has been very poor so far and we still see Cross gen games and now they release another Ps5.2

Notellin171d ago

Yeah Indiana Jones, Avowed, Doom, Fable, Clockwork Revolution, Perfect Dark, and Everwild are all GAAS.

Oh wait you're a liar and just making stuff up.

Cacabunga171d ago

Check their last showcase and let us know once more.. you are so clueless and speaking of pure ignorance..

goken171d ago

Yup about sums it up. At least some one at HQ is stepping in to steady the ship.

RaidenBlack171d ago

But what about smaller experimental/more-fun projects?

Abriael171d ago (Edited 171d ago )

They closed all the studios that did these. Japan Studios, Pixelopus, etcetera.

northpaws171d ago

I think we will only get those from indie developers now.

anast171d ago

Not enough people buy them, even the ones that clamor for them.

BlackCountryBob171d ago

Unfortunately 97% or PS5 owners didn’t buy AstroBot, they’re a money making enterprise in the end and if people don’t buy the games, they won’t keep making them

DarXyde171d ago

The problem with that approach is the scope of gaming contracts. There's a reason we're seeing fewer experimental titles and many of the newer ones play similarly to popular games.
