  Disclaimer : Je n'ai pas acheté le jeu moi même, un très bon ami a eu deux clefs suite au crowdfunding et m'en a gracieusement offert une. Franchement pour le moment, c'est pas fou : J'en suis a 3h de jeu, je me suis fait chier comme un rat mort, il y a deux trois vannes qui font sourire, mais le scenario casse pas trois pattes a un canard, les dialogues sont pas fou (on est sur du niveau Pokemon Rouge/Bleu) et des quêtes fedex ou de bashage de mobs nuls. La difficulté est inexistante, aucun…

  I want to like this game, I enjoy colorful RPGs, turn based combat and MMORPGs have been my mainstay for the past 2 decades. It just doesn't feel the way I hoped. For one its buggy and clunky, every time combat starts it does the break screen and seems like it will crash. I have had one freeze which caused me to lose a lot of progress when i had to force close. When you are in the "mmorpg" you cant save anywhere or just log out like in a real mmo, you have to find a waypoint to save and heal…

  I love Noob, but this game is really unbearable and I tried REALLY HARD to love it... WAY too many flaws; 4 years later still tons of bugs, extremely slow pace fights, absurd grind for the jobs as if it were a real MMORPG

  -English translation is bad. -No d pad. -Directions on what to do next might as well not exist for the usefulness they provide. -very empty including dungeons +Characters personalities +Music This game seemingly has the negatives of an MMO with none of the positives of a single player game.

  Combat is fast-paced and okay. But after the first 2 hours, you are repeatedly required to find some place or some person to proceed the main story without indication on where they are. I ended up spending most of the time wandering around and gave up at last.

  The game looks nice in screenshots and videos, but the actual gameplay isn’t very good. There are many frustrating issues: - The interface doesn’t support mouse controls, forcing you to use awkward keys to navigate through complex menus, especially the skill trees. - You also can’t use the mouse while moving on the map, so you often don’t know where you’re heading or whether an encounter is coming. - Weapons and skills do not show expected damage, difficult to decide what skill to use -…

  Le jeu est sympa, c'est cool de se balader dans l'univers Olidri, mais il a manque de personnes d'experience dans l'equipe de dev malheureusement: Le gameplay est incomplet, frustrant parfois de devoir s'interrompre en pleine histoire pour devoir visiter une ville vide (Ubisoft a appris la lecon dans assassin's creed). Le jeu veut correspondre a un type de joueur: Celui qui a le temps de se perdre a chercher partout. Si vous avez du temps limite apres le taff, ca peut etre frustrant de…

  I love this game. It is my idea of the PERFECT JRPG!! So I recommend it based on that. Prior to December 2024, the game had a HUGE PROBLEM with a "memory leak" crash that would happen anytime you had a transition screen. Into battle, exiting a battle, moving from one zone to another... it was VERY FRUSTRATING and made the game unplayable in the second half because the effects got worse the farther into the game you got. BUT THEY FIXED IT with a hotfix patch in December 2024!! So now I…

  liked the game a lot love the story love the gameplay a lot i watched most of the series and for the fans of the lore from noob for me it's a must the negatives points are mainly the absence of detailed minimaps in the subzones some quest are not well enough detailed so they can be misleading like there's a couple side quests in the mont lassiera zone that i can't find no more i have the necklace thingy but can't find the damn guy anymore at least i had no problem in the main quest oh and a…

  It's fun, I like the story (I am already familiar with the Noob universe from the web series) and the look of the game. There are a few downs though: - No indication as to how much damage your spells and abilities are able to do. You just have to try them and see how well or poorly they perform. It is very annoying as a newbie to RPG, particularly in the beginning. But you get used to your abilities and get to know what makes the most damage. - No infos on other things, like if you get a map…

  cliche compilation: The game If a bland game that goes thru any and all the tropes you have seen in other games, if you like lack of originality, if sugar salt and pepper are too much for you and you find hospital food to tasty for you, This is your game, you will be bored from start to finish with no emotion apart from random spikes of frustration

  Si vous avez vu et apprécié la série, n'hésitez pas ! Si vous ne connaissez pas l'univers, je conseille de regarder la série d'abord, autrement vous n'allez pas comprendre grand chose à l'histoire et l'ambiance qui est le point fort du jeu pour moi? Le système de combat est ok mais on fait mieux. Je l'ai trouvé assez frustrant car les effets sur plusieurs tours appliqués aux personnages sont décomptés au début du tour. Ce qui fait que si vous mettez un effet de 3 tours en à la fin du tour,…

  Finished the main story for Noob: The Factionless. I still have a ton of post game + the true final boss but right now I'm satisfied stopping here for a while. Overall a fun time with a surprising amount of meat to it, especially for an indi game. A handful of frustrating quirks but I'll say a 7/10

  If you are a really big fan of old school RPG you might like this game but otherwise it's difficult to recommend it. The fights can be fun but this game lacks the QOL features of modern RPG and it was made for completionists in mind making it a bit frustrating at least for me. An example would be the mining job. It's not very exciting but it gives you something to do while exploring zones but quickly you will end up under leveled (by 20 levels)  which I found very frustrating. Since you don't…

  Noob is a charming game with a gorgeous, seemingly endless landscape that’s genuinely fun to explore. I loved being able to pick herbs, fish, and mine along the way — those little side activities make the world feel alive. The music is good (not great), but it fits the vibe well enough. Combat is where things start to wobble. Battles feel slow, and once the fight is over, I don’t need the long pause, the victory dance, and then the credits. The game gives you a lot of battle options, but if…

  Interesting game but the QoL Stuff of JRPGs are not there. Makes most of it tedious and slow. Also the Job leveling is slower than in some MMORPGs.

  Noob, les Sans-Factions—also known internationally as *Noob: The Factionless*—is an RPG that embraces the humor, charm, and MMO-inspired world of the long-running French multimedia franchise *Noob*. Developed by BlackPixel Studio and Olydri Games and published by Olydri Studio and Microids, the game blends traditional turn-based mechanics with a narrative framed as an adventure inside a fictional MMORPG. Rather than focusing solely on sweeping heroics or world-saving stakes, it leans into the…

  20 hours in and would say I Love this game and it's character progression and lines and how it takes you in and out of the RP Realm, yet keeps you in it! Getting lost in the fun and world type with obvious puns and funnies that take a punch at RPG's and MMORPG's!

  A du potentiel, mais beaucoup trop de défauts pour être recommandé : - pas de sauvegarde à volonté et points de sauvegarde rares - crash fréquents (cf point 1) - combats longs et chiants - très linéaire - très peu de loot ou de customisation des persos - la map du monde tourne à 15 fps max quand elle ne crash pas juste le jeu Bref, c'est dommage!

  If you know the french web serie it's based on there are a lot of nice references. Else it's still a nice JRPG. but wish you could choose your class or have a tracker for the main quest.
