60 of 201 · most liked firstIntroduction Drizzlepath is a flawed game that can still be enjoyed. It’s a walking simulator and the first iteration in a series of Steam projects created by the talented Tonguç Bodur. Yes, a one-man team developing indie games with CryEngine assets. Not an easy task and from what I’ve read in the many negative reviews this game has been receiving, it’s not that rewarding either to have your hard work constantly criticized or mocked by individuals who never created a single thing (digital or…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →“No man was ever yet a great poet, without at the same time being a profound philosopher.” ― Samuel Coleridge Drizzlepath is a walking simulator, and there is not very much else left to say about it. Like many of the early classics of the genre such as Dear Esther and The Vanishing of Ethan Carter Drizzlepath attempts to weave a tale of life. Unlike these others which focus upon fiction that lives very much in 'our' world. Drizzlepath aims at an approach that sits somewhere between magical…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is really great in its own style which is a walking simulator. This game has very high graphics, but in my opinion, it is not optimal compared to the required system, and it puts more pressure on CPU. Along with the game graphics, the game frame by frame is really beautiful and you can take very nice screens from it and enjoy it. I have no opinion about other reviews and the only problem in my opinion is the optimality of this game and I will show you a sample of the beautiful…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Short and pretty walking simulator with hard-to-understand female narrator because of her accent. Sometimes, the music mix even makes her harder to understand. All of this is made worse because there are no sound settings or subtitles. The story itself, from what I understood, is boring and doesn't make much sense. Graphics are sometimes glitchy ruining immersion especially when you arrive at the mountain. There's no gameplay except walking and one necessary jump (not kidding). Drizzlepath can…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like relaxing and atmospheric games, especially with beautiful secenery, so I thought this would just be my cup of tea. I knew it was very short (took me about 45mins including wandering around a bit, I'm letting it idle to get the collecting cards while I write this), it's quite cheap as well, so that would be okay. But it turned out: it's not very beautiful at all sadly, there are a few nice parts, some okay parts and then some ugly parts as well (especially the mountains). If you leave…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Gorgeous scenery, realistic wildlife and mountain terrain. The music was pleasant and loved the natural sounds of birds and water in the background. A rather pleasant and relaxing walking simulator.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Quite a few people complained, and perhaps rightly so, that Dear Esther didn't have a "run" button. I'm inclined to make a similar complaint about Drizzlepath's lack of a "walk" button. While it only takes a little time to get used to the fact that your avatar is a fitness fanatic, who likes to jog and jump like a pentathlete training for the Olympics, it doesn't exactly help to immerse one in the atmosphere of what is, ultimately, an atmospheric and reflective stroll through some stunning…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This title forces you to play in a resolution of 1280 x 720, if you change it, the game will crash within 30 seconds or so. My first time attempting to play, it crashed on me about 4-5 times until I sort info on the discussion boards to learn why this is happening. I discovered other people having this issue and they also stated that the only way to stop it from crashing is to play it at it's default resolution. That alone was already a bit off-putting for me. But anyway, i decided to play it…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Absolute garbage. Spend 35 minutes walking around the most boring and featureless environment ever conceived while 30 second chunks of random guitar "music" plays and a woman with the thickest accent on the planet narrates sans-subtitles about random bullsh*t that believes itself to be important. Marvel at 3 identical houses that can't even be entered. Absolutely nothing happens, save for one unintentionally hilarious moment about 30 minutes in where a "jump tutorial" appears. That's the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →5/10 + Beautiful map with some really stunning landscapes. I would absolutely love to hike in this place. + Animals walking and flying around - chickens, wild birds, frogs and turtles. - Terrible narration. I couldn't understand most of it due to the heavy accent of the narrator. Subtitles could help, but are not available. The parts I did understand seemed like pretentious nonsense. "Void of finite infinity" anyone? - The music is nice, but it only plays for a few seconds at a time and is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So, the good parts of this is definitely the look and feel of the game. However, I never got to finish it because it kept bugging out and crashing, locking my computer and forcing me to force it shut. Then, as I opened the game once more, I found out that I couldn't continue from my latest checkpoint for some reason. That, topping with a really hard-to-understand narrator, makes this a non-recommended game for me. It was slowly getting there at convincing me that it was a decent game until it…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is not very good but it is ok (sometimes)!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Series This was the first in the series that eventually saw the release of two more episodes. By genre Drizzlepath is a short, atmospheric walking simulator that can easily be completed in a couple of hours. The idea of such games is immersion; the beautiful landscape and the folk music both help us achieve that. This is a namesake brand; subsequent episodes bear the same name but are slightly different. The Graphics If my memory still functions properly this was the first (and perhaps…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In short, it's a verdant world with pretty assets. 10/10 would wander there IRL. Main issue: the narrator has a strange dialect while talking over a rather loud music, making me wish this game had subs or sound settings, but it doesn't. You can't disable the motion blur, either. There are minor graphics rendering bugs, nothing too bad though. The jump button is slow to react, weirdly enough. If you stay on path, you see non-interactable objects of varied relevance, then it ends in half an…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →40 minute interactive thermal paste burn-in software for 87 cents
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is a walking simulator. You walk. On a path. And it drizzles, whence the name Drizzlepath. The title is as unimaginative as the challenges (there is 1(!) jump) and the story (there is none) in this game. There are no challenges, no secrets, no interaction (well except for being able to destroy some of the fences). You cannot die, there is no combat. There is a single path that you follow. The good things: - it's not so expensive - it's relaxing, easy and there's no combat - it uses…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I gave up after 8 minutes. This game chugs along at 25fps on a 980Ti, and the supposedly "beautiful" graphics you see in the screenshots and in the other reviews are just a sham. The path you're supposed to walk looks okay, even if it's all just pretty standard CryEngine stuff, but the moment you look to the side the game looks horrible. No draw distance and the distant scenery is just blobs. On top of that, the geometry and textures warp around you as you move, further pulling the aesthetic…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is not a game. It's a walking simulator. Even though most walking simulators I've played have some puzzles to solve or other things to do, this one is not kidding when it says "walking simulator". That is LITERALLY all there is to do here... walk. There is no interacting with objects, no opening doors, no talking to people, no nothing. Just walking. The controls are merely WASD (movement), and the spacebar (jump). As such, I was bored out of my mind and absolutely hated this Sim.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →+ Graphics are OK for an indie game from 2015 (not mind blowing either) + Sounds and music are minimalist but adequate for the game = Can't save progress: acceptable since the game is short = Settings aren't saved either: acceptable since you're unlikely to play the game twice - Very short (30 mn) - Crashes when running full screen - Bad voice acting, strong accent, I don't think the woman is a native English speaker - No subtitles (I usually wouldn't need them, but her accent would make them…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Having played the game, I now understand why the reviews were mixed. I'll admit that I have no idea how difficult it is to make a game as one person, but the concept here is lacking. It plays like a highschool students final game design summative. The textures aren't all mapped correctly, you can see clearly where brush tools were used to place foliage haphazardly, and the audio balance is way out of whack. If you do play this game, and you don't want your trading cards, send em to me. Not…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a tech Demo about walking. It's an unfinished game. I even got stuck in a hole in the ground, which did make me laugh. So why did I buy it? I don't know. I like to spend my money on random crap on steam. Sometimes I find a gold nugget and sometimes it's just false gold.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Looks nice for 3€ (atm) game. Settings are very limited. Runs good even though Cryengine 3 isn´t the smoothest. Overall decent game to play if you like walking simulators and good graphics.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No clue. That's what I'm left with after playing, nay, experiencing this game. The narrative dialogue made no sense to me whatsoever. There were some things about chickens, donkeys and knives, death machines, Germans and Apaches. That's unfortunately the most I could get from listening (quite attentively I might add). Checkpoints have no meaning. Every now and then the "checkpoint" popup would appear and on my first attempt at working through this game, I thought "Great! I can continue…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →*rubs hands* This game my friends is not what it says on the tin. It's a virtual experience, relaxing, soothing. Do I recommend this game? If you've got some bucks and an hour or two to slay, totally! Don't buy it to slander it. It's like a good massage, sure, some points can be uncomfortable, like some graphical glitches, missing vegetation if you stray from the path, and the narrators accent (the narrative consists mostly of poetry), which is thick as oil, but this can also be very…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hey @polykillpodcast.bsky.social I #justbeatit Drizzlepath. This walking sim is a glorified screensaver. I mostly pressed W and moved my mouse a little bit. Not a great game but it was pretty to look at and allowed me to get in a few matches in Pokemon Pocket. Finally completed my Potomax square!
unlabelledView post →I wanted to like this game, I really did. The graphics were okay. I really enjoyed the droplet effects on the camera and the look of the water (sometimes). The sky though was my favourite thing to look at. Everything else was simply that: Okay. First of all, there are no subtitles. At least, I didn't find any in the options so I hope you're good with understanding accents. I could barely understand the narrator and what they were talking about, nothing seemed to make any sense to me. It was…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Drizzlepath is a very short walking simulator that will make the fans on your computer go absolutely insane. It's pretty enough with the settings up fairly high, but the ambience is ruined by narration that I can only understand half the time. I know this may just be a stylistic choice but it doesn't work for me. However, this is clearly an early project from Tonguc Bodur and there are many other similar games that run better, look better, sound better, and feel better than this one. So go…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Drizzlepath is exactly what you see on the store page, nothing more, nothing less. Lasts less than an hour, has a really nice view and graphics. You won't do anything but walking and listening to the narrator that in my opinion could have been much better and acted with more...passion i guess:sounds lazy and all the time with the same boring tone (and weird accent). In a game like this where there arent many elements , the narrator should have been much more than just a girl ( i think)…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a art piece. Not a game. You launch this to chill, walk around, look at your environment, etc. You will do that for nearly 40 minutes
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Let me start by saying I would give this game a neutral review if I could, but sadly, I don't have that option on steam. The good: The walking simulation, atmosphere and music are all very nice. On these alone, I would have given this very inexpensive game a thumbs up for the price. The bad: The script writer and narrator were obviously not native English speakers. It was very very hard to understand the narrator, subtitles would have helped greatly. However, the parts that I could…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty game about nothing really. I love walking simulators, but this one I cannot recommend. Just walking with no contemplation. Audio 6/10 Graphics 7/10 Gameplay 5/10 Story 2/10 Time to beat 1 hour Summary 3/10 PROS Really pretty visuals. CryEngine at its best (at least in some parts of the game) I really liked the music. Guitar, piano etc. Just wish that these tracks were longer, not short riffs. CONS The graphics are uneven throughout the game. There are parts where you are…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Drizzlepath is what you could call a true walking simulator, it doesn't try to be something else, like a horror game. There is no interaction at all, you just walk on a path or not, and admire the scenery while listening to a narrator or some music, until you reach the end of the game. Drizzlepath Full Playthrough recorded at 60fps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBNuWLAozqI 0:00 Starting the game. 3:27 Following a frog. 12:18 Statue of Liberty, kinda. 21:08 Turtles 23:01 Lighthouse. 24:33…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This walking simulator is severely lacking. Some story segements by a single narator every minute or so. The entire journey was completed in what felt like 20 minutes. I can just say dont buy, youre not missing anything. There is no interesting dialouge or profound journey to be had here. Games like Firewatch succeded in this genre with confict and suspense, there was something worth doing. Drizzlepath just has you walk a path while a young ethinic woman speaks of how scary it is. I feel like i…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Looks like someone tried way to hard to be a game developer. The mountains look like trash, the woman is rambling on about nothing (even if her accent was great), and few (two?) of the buildings were enterable. I love me a walking simulator, but this was not a good one. Music was great though, just wish it wasn't so sporadic. Bottle is a much better walking sim by them.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →About an hour long walking / hiking simulator. The absolute best part about Drizzlepath, in my opinion, is the music. <3 it. Worth buying for that alone. - There are some dodgey graphics. Some flickering, some just bad - The narrator (girl) is slighty difficult to understand unless you listen really closely I believe the game is a metaphor for something ...Well, let's see ...you start off by walking a rather long, bumpy path with lots of twists and turns and then you're climbing a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the first walking simulator I have attempted. I have mixed feelings about it. Gorgeous scenery, realistic wildlife and mountain terrain. Unfortunately, I couldn't understand a word the woman spoke. I could tell she had a heavy accent and being hearing impaired didn't help! The more I 'walked', the more adventurous I became...wandering off the path and exploring the scenery. I fell into the ocean once and into a lake which added a bit of excitment! I tried to get around to the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A rather pleasant and relaxing walking simulator. Or, rather, it's a “hiking-in-the-rain” simulator. While meandering through the scenery, beautifully rendered by CryEngine, you will hear tidbits of music and prose mixed with pretentious and impenetrable poetry. Luckily, there's not too much of it, and at least the music is pretty cool. Apparently all assets used in the game were assembled from public domain and other sources. Still, kudos for putting them together into a nice little…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wish there was a neutral option as that would be the one for this game. The game looks nice and the walking pace is good, but there's no setting to remove head bob (fortunately the game is short enough to not cause too much nausea). It also needs subtitles, because I just gave up on the story due to the accent. So I have no idea if the story makes sense or not. Paid 99 cents for this, so I'm not too disappointed.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not really what i was hoping for. It's only the second Walking Simulator i've played (after Dear Esther), but it has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. There is nothing to see aside from a few featureless houses and ruins, the narrative makes no sense whatsoever, and -apart from a few nice lens effects-, the visuals are nothing to write home about either. Oh yeah, and it's all over in 40mins.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I Installed the game.. Clicked on play.. A weird accent kid said some stuff about swimming chickens.. I pressed space to jump .. game hangs with error message: DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG My device has an 8GB Nvidia 990M .... I tried to change the graphics settings... Nothing works.. Game is unplayable...buggy, glitchfull..& was made by cryengine. 0/10
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I remember seeing a few videos years ago demonstrating the CryEngine being used to generate, deform and texture geometry effortlessly, real-time within the engine. This feels like the result of somebody making a huge map using this tech and littering it with stock foliage and tree assets. In some isolated and well picked moments, as demonstrated by some of the store screenshots, the game can look gorgeous but I believe that any praise should be directed at Crytek, not the developer. As with…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →PERFECT GAME!!!! maybe some people do not like this kind of game, but not include me. DRI makes me relax in the beautiful world. I got interested in it when I first enter the game. GJ!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is an okay walking simulator. It could have been far better with more to explore (rather than being extremely linear) and sensible monologue. The monologue was not discernable to me and I had no real sense of why I was trying to climb this mountain. Replayability is low and the game lasts a maximum of 30 minutes. For what it is, though, it's okay. I wouldn't call Drizzlepath good or bad. It could have been more enjoyable to me with the aforementioned improvements and I think the devs…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Drizzlepath is a very short (30 mins) walking simulator that does not have enough substance in it for me to give it a positive review. Although the actual scenery is relaxing and beautiful, the game just lacks substance. All you do is quite literally walk along a path, and that is it. There is some nice music and a narrator who talks at every checkpoint, but the narrator had such a thick accent that I could not understand what she was saying most of the time.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a game where you have to walk to the top of the Mountain of fire. This is a walking simulator that is poetic and atmospheric with a story told by a narrator. The story is a bit difficult to follow, but if you concentrate you can keep up with the story, however subtitles would have been an advantage. Visually the art style and all the details put into the game are just stunning. I enjoyed every bit of scenery and also enjoyed the animals running around. It is really amazing when you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While I did enjoy Drizzlepath: Deja vu. I think this game is too simplistic (even if the graphics are stunning) to really keep you intrigued past the first couple of minutes, not to mention that the game itself only last for an hour or less. To make matter worse, the characters voice lines are more odd and confusing than smart and appealing, and the ending was kind of plain, (unless there were other endings than the "tent" one). But over all, if your looking to get drizzlepath, i would highly…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not recommended at all, sorry. Wanted to like it, but just couldn't. Hated it, in fact, and was BORED. The visuals are lovely, but choppy. My system's designed for 4k video editing, with souped up EVERYTHING. It FAR exceeds the specs for this game, but the in-game experience was rough. There's no interactivity, and the narration is complete and utter nonsense. I'm actually good at understanding and appreciating international voices, so that didn't bother me... but I could see how many people…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This would have been better released as an audio book. The story and music are compelling, but as a game, it is not.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Been Drizzled In making his first walking simulator, Tonguç Bodur hit all the right notes. There's walking, which is always important, always good in this sorta thing. And loads of pathos. The solo dev's made like 15 of these (in 5 years!), but this was his first, and Drizzlepath nicely sets the tone for his later work. And it's aged well. Mostly. What this game offers: Walking. Absolutely NO running! Decent mountain scenery rendered with CryEngine. (I'm pretty sure ALL his other games use…

Pros- +Nice textures +Awesome OST +Story telling +Environment creativity Cons- -Hard to understand accent -To bright even in night -Ground look metalic instead of wet bcz of rain All over i would say u should try this. Its calming and people did there best to present the game to us. Cant let their hard work unseen and its not that bad game. Try it for yourself you might find 1 or 2 things…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is a walking simulator, but it crashes every 3 minutes and I have to start from the beggining.... The game has nice graphics but the only think that you can do is jumping, crouching and moving slowly... I am glad that I have 1 hour on this game and I am going to refund it! Don't spend 1.59 for this crap.....
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am recommending yes, with caveats. Firstly, Drizzlepath is a first game and it is a copy of Dear Esther. Dear Esther was a masterpiece that invented the genre of Walking Simulator and everything was put together very finely and deliberately. You might not fully understand the story, but what mattered was the journey and the atmosphere. Drizzlepath is a copy, but not a clone. It attempts the exact same things that Dear Esther does and achieves them less well. Things don't really hold…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Walking sim that feels very much like someone just playing around in the Cry Engine editor and using free assets to fill a boring world. That would be all well and good, as I don't expect much from a walking sim but other similar 'games' are still enjoyable whereas this just feels boring with a mish-mash of assets dumped along the path that clearly don't belong there. If you look at the images on the Store page, do you think this is a landscape where you would expect palm trees to randomly…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a very enjoyable walking simulator. Make sure you have your sound on and follow the path, otherwise you will spend an hour walking around and getting stuck in crevices that nobody even needs to go near. I couldn't make out all of the woman's words, so I wish subtitles were an option. I enjoyed the game overall, though. A few achievements would be nice for the next update (for example find a lobster, find a turtle, ride down the waterfall, etc)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What is the purpose of Drizzlepath? I normally like walking simulators, but Drizzlepath felt useless other than the pretty graphics. The pretty graphics end when you reach the mountain though for some reason. The whole game is you walking on path while occasionally a woman speaks to you about something abstract. It wasn't always easy to understand her either with the loud music and the lack of subtitles. Also, your character can jump, but the jump is only used toward the end of the game. I…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A walking simulator can be real art, this is why I like them. To do so they need great technology and a good story. Story: Drizzlepath does try to tell us something*, but the narrator is barely comprehensible and so it doesn't come over very well. This would be OK if there were subtitles, but there are none. Graphics: The technology is the Crytek engine, so it does look good at times, but it is very unpolished and sometimes the path is somewhat hard to see. Sound: I like some of the riffs,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The perfect game for anyone who ever wanted to walk up a Mountain to meet Three middle age bald guys in a Tent while listening to an Exotic Beauty reciting complete gibberish. Some people try to claim that it is Deep and Meaningful, but no, it really is just complete gibberish. Anyway it's only a Couple of Bucks so why not?
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game (if you can call it that) is very short, but visually appealing. It is mostly a walking simulator. There is dialogue, but it is ignorable as you navigate the area. A fun game to chill out to.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip! Drizzlepath is a Digital Homicide style asset flip, or what Valve calls a "Fake Game". The "developer" paid for/pirated a few CryEngine (old and dead) asset store packs, dumped them all in a blender, and submitted it to Valve as if they're real game developers. Two notable criteria for what makes an asset flip instead of legitimate use of stock assets are whether those assets comprise the majority of the game, and whether the…
