    This game has a promising concept, but unfortunately, I can't recommend it in its current state. It suffers from too many game-breaking bugs that force you to restart missions. For instance, I encountered glitches on both the farm and desert levels where my character got stuck on objects like a fence, plane wreckage, and even the ramp to a plateau. Without an 'unstuck' option, these glitches meant redoing entire missions. Additionally, I experienced a progress-halting bug in the desert level:…

    TL;DR 9/10: The initial build of the game ended a little too abruptly, but the missions are all thoughtful, and each investigation is unique and deeply personal. Overview Finally, a sim game ol' Il Pallino can love the heck out of that doesn't involve cars, law enforcement, or crime! As if the title Plane Accident isn't a dead giveaway as to what the game entails, what isn't obvious, is that the player drives a truck to the vicinity of a plane crash, grabs their belongings, uses a drone to…

    The idea of the game is good, but it spoon feeds you everything, which rather takes the enjoyment of solving the puzzles away. If this was changed, and you were allowed to investigate as you see fit (take photos from where you would like, post wreckage before you secured the crash site) it would be far more enjoyable.

    Hopelessly abandoned without notice or feedback. Discord is a black hole of no responses from Devs. Seriously, you have to avoid this developer / producer like the plague. So much potential, so disrespectful development. The people paying their salaries at least deserve to be told whats going on.

    This game looked really interesting at first, but once it was released into early access I was done with the game in 2 hours if not for game issues that were patched some time in July. The silence after that patch says to me a lot, since now it seems pretty much like some quick cashgrab abandonware, so if you plan on getting this one...as of now please avoid it, you can spend your money at something much beter.

    As a real-world pilot I was intrigued to try this game out... didn't even make it past the training before I was completely turned off by how gimmicky it is. It's scripted in silly and extremely unrealistic ways... just not what I was hoping for at all. The idea of an "NTSB" investigation simulator is a fantastic one.... but this execution is just not great, unfortunately. For some specifics... the "Logbooks" are just a couple of simple basic notes, the black box data retrieval is some dumb…

    Got as part of humble bundle, or else i would be annoyed lol. Not a recommend, abandoned in early access. The process is super rote and by the numbers, impossible to fail unless you dare do something out of order and soft lock yourself out of the level and have to reload. A shame, cool concept.

    As an aviation geek I was so pleased to see this game. BUT I can not complete the first level! Firstly I got stuck on photograph mission, stood in blue circle, it froze and i couldn't take a photo, I exited and lost all progress. Started again, got as far as opening case files and then couldn't exit! absolute rubbish.

    Unfortunately, for me, this game lacks content. I've completed the game within 2 hours and there hasn't been any tease of an update within the last few months, which says to me this has been abandoned in a sense. In regards to gameplay, there are a few bugs, a few game crashes and nothing too exciting. It had so much potential to be a great Investigation Simulator and start a whole new genre. However, this was a flop. 3/10

    The only thing that you have to do in this game is click where it tells you to. The only aspect which is remotely a game in this software is finding the parts scattered at the crash sites and marking them. Beside that you just have to click when it tells you and where it tells you too. Waste of money.

    Good concept, i liked the stories for each case. a little buggy, but opening and closing the menu (esc button) usually fixed any bugs. sad that this was an abandoned early access game because id have really enjoyed a full version of this. Pretty fast, finished in 5 hours. if the price is worth it to you then go ahead, but i wouldnt have bought this for full price personally. i got it in the humble bundle and im pleased i spent my time on it. is it unfinished? yea. does it have issues here and…

    Do not buy this game. I know it is early access but it is too buggy to play and enjoy. I spent 10 mins clicking on the arrow to exit the paperwork until i just had to give up. Couldn't even get past the first level for ages as the camera didn't give the red outline to let me take a photograph.

    There have been no updates since a brief one adding a little bit in June, with no response from the developer since then. If they are planning to leave early access in 9-12 months, going almost 4-5 months with no updates or information is not the way to do it.

    I liked the game, but it needs MUCH MORE missions. I hope the developers are working on this. There are bugs with getting stuck, which made me replay one of the missions. Currently, the game feels more like a demo version rather than a full game, I hope the development continues.

    I definitely wouldn't pay for this full price. It's on sale for 5€ right now which is fair, but the full price is ridiculous for what it is. It feels like there's way less content than the original "Accident" game and it feels way more rushed. The last mission is an absolute joke and the devs seemed to have abandoned this.

    Don't get me wrong, the game is fun, and it has a very bright idea, but theres just too many bugs, you can easily get stuck on a mission for ages because of a groundbreaking bug. With that said, I cant recommend this game because of the amount of gameplay there is, I completed the whole game in 3 and a half hours, and now what? Do I just play again? Do I just wait for more missions that will take 15 minutes? Theres no where near enough gameplay for this game to be considered an actual game.

    In Plane Accident you are some sort of aircraft accident inspector. Idea seems interesting, since I like to watch disaster documentaries. Game feels actually fun to play. Plot is excellent, and characters too. In current state, it has about 7 hours content. You get to visit crash site and document it. And then investigate parts in hangar. It is bit too easy, and does not allow you to make wrong choices. Or try anything creative detective work. Game is in early access, so some glitches are…

    This game is not worth the money. The concept is good but 15$ for an our and a half or content is... I know its in early access but nothing has been added for a while. The entire game is treated like a tutorial and is filled to the brim with bugs. The snowy mission was by far the best, with the snowy and swamp missions having amazing atmospheres. The ufo mission was a huge let down when i got to the hangar and was told no. I shouldn't have been able to 100% the game in 87 minutes.

    This is more of a 'meh' leaning towards a 'nah'. Too much of a connect-the-dots-in-numbered-order kind of game. You are bound by a sequence of tasks which you MUST follow in order. Too much of 'Do this, then do that and then do this' and for every mission it's rinse and repeat. You want to mark or take photos of pieces of wreckage you find along the way? Nope, you can't do that. Find the crash site first, then you can mark the pieces of wreckage. And only after you have found all the pieces,…

    AVOID. I regret not trying the demo or watching a playthrough first. Forgivable mistakes: * Unoptimized. A good PC might power through it. * Reused animations and sound effects playing at wrong times. Annoying but I'll accept it in an early access title. Unforgivable mistakes: * No technical gameplay at all. This game doesn't just hold your hand, it also gives you nothing to do with your other one. The "gameplay" consists of walking wherever directed by the objective shown on-screen, then…

    Some games have a great idea but fail in their execution. Playing a transportation accident investigator would be fantastic and this game demonstrate the interesting parts of the idea, but holds your hand all the way through, never letting you make a choice. It is a nice prototype and demonstration of the idea but it never tries to go for it's potential, that would require effort. And this game and it's maker is afraid of that.

I could've likely finished the game in under the 2 hour return window, if i didn't need to pause it for awhile at one point.
