40 of 40 · most liked firstThis game is outright horrible. Apart from the epic title music, there's no other music in the game. The sound effects are minimal. The interface is unhelpful and the mission progress is baffling. The game is nearly unplayable. The most frustrating element is that the tasks are incredibly vague and difficult to locate. This game is mostly about finding small things like watches or footprints, but the graphics are so poor that these are nearly impossible to locate and the game does not make it…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You don't play this game free roam. You play missions that are pre determined. The gameplay is not bad....BUT You get an objective like "go find this thing" and on the map it is supposed "high-light" the location of where to start searching for said thing or person. I've played about 7 missions so far and was only able to complete 3 - 4 of them because the map location is not showing up. I really hope this gets updated...gets add-ons etc. I believe it would be a very fun simulator. As of…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Perhaps one of the worst 'simulation' games I have ever played (or attempted to play, in this instance). As another reviewer stated, the missions are exactly the same. Fail? No problem, just keep going. It's not like you'll be doing anything different anyway. I am absolutely baffled as to why I paid $11 for this - lured in by that epic starting music I suppose. I spent a good thirty minutes repeating mission three trying to find the next set of animal prints after finding the first. They…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm really not quite sure what the developers were aiming for when they designed this simulator. What is claimed to be a 'Search and Rescue' simulator is more like a 'chase the red dot, and find the tiny objects hidden in the grass' simulator. You'll spend mission after mission traversing the countryside, searching for asthma inhalers, inflatable crocodiles, baseball caps, boots, and if you're really lucky, an immobile human being. Although the people looked more like broken animatronics slowly…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cons: -Game runs poorly, despite so-so graphics. -No ambient sounds, none whatsoever. Or music. -Missions follow the same pattern ; go somewhere and locate the mission objetive. In that sense is an extremely simplified hidden object game. Pros: -....sorry cant think of any
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In a sentence, I owe my life to this game. Before this game, I was an ordinary man, not too different from yourself, perchance. I'd get through the daily grind, and "do my bit" for society, and at the weekend, I'd relax with a glass of Mountain Dew and a session of CS:GO. This routine became so familiar to me, however, that I started to become disillusioned to the very idea of life itself. I started to question myself existentially and berate my psyche with grating interrogations; Why am…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is nothing more then a point and click version of hide and seek. All you do is pick crap up off the ground. This game should be really called click and search,.. no rescue, no simulation.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the game that made me question Steam's quality control
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The only search and rescue needed is this game.. Total crap fest. DOnt buy it
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game isn't worth $1
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →no, just no. bad in every single aspect, just do not buy
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As sad as it is, the graphics and 3D affect is quite poor and some of hte missions are so limited on time that the simulator quickly become a headacke. After a hour of playing this, i started to ask myself why am i playing this... I could sigh up for a Urban Search and Rescue team and it would be more fun and less of a waste of time than this.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You basically walk or drive a mountain bike in an ugly world, looking for items in the grass. Avoid. 0/5.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I kinda hurts to play
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tags: Adventure - WS - Walking Simulator Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: Big - Empty - Unoptimized - On Rails Scripting - Uninspired Review: Busywork, Performance Optimization Issues, looks ugly without increasing draw distances which creates lag spikes often even on half decent hardware. Massive swathes of land with nothing happening in it. Launch a bunch of a small instances where you are on rails, going from map hotspot to map hotspot to satisfy quest log…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I feel like it would be fun with a story. But the stamina bar is too ridiculous. If you bike too much you'll pass out and it's game over. I have not seen stamina this bad since I Am Alive
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Possibly the worst game i have ever played -1/10
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Started up the game. Jumped on a pig's back. Thought it was peng at first until I had to start looking for people.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Received this game as a gift. From the start, I had high hopes. The opening music had me ready to single handedly rescue a schoolbus full of kids teetering on the edge of a cliff. I launched the game and grabbed my walkie and backpack before heading out for action. I then spent 20 minutes conducting a jittery search through bushes with quick bursts of frozen gameplay every few seconds while looking for a map that I'm pretty sure didn't even exist. I think the highlight of this game is the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Absolute garbage, stutters every 3 seconds, babbys first graphics, walking sim hypetrain, just no
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I hate this game it doesn't even have ambient sounds or foot steps (I cant spell if anythings wrong)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In short: terrible game. longer story: bad graphics even on "fantastic"; lagging (i have quiet a good computer, but this game manage to freeze every 10 secs for 1-2 or seconds); nothing realistic in here, which is quiet a negative point, seeing that this game calls itself an simulator. your riding on a unbelivable fast bike, loosing stamania like hell, which you than have to refill with candybars all the time. basically your just running arround from point A to B which is almost everytime…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First Impressions: http://www.cublikefoot.com/video/recovery-search-rescue-simulation-first-impressions/ Recovery Search & Rescue Simulation is a simulator for wannabe park rangers, by the team over at Excalibur Publishing. It's supposed to teach you how to be a park ranger and I, not being a park ranger, have no idea if they've accomplished this. If the game really depicts how a park ranger's life is, then it must be pretty dull. Recovery Search & Rescue Simulation basically has you run…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I ended up with this turd free with the "free game with purchase of a sale game" That game site should be ashamed to even offer this garbage. Plants are in the building through the floor moving back and forth, Graphics are so dated it makes me go hook up my Sega Genesis and play Sonic at least I enjoy that game still. If you get this game as a "free" game just don't bother wasting drive space, heck it is so bad it is good at being bad. Don't install it will give you nightmares.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ok, I'll buck the trend and give a positive. It's kinda sorta playable, but there's just nothing really there. But the game itself functions. But that's not why I'm here. I'm giving a positive review for exactly one reason. When you get off the bike it despawns and respawns the bike 30 feet above your head and it falls on you. Every single time. It's flipping hilarious and worth the $0.49 of admission.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →world record fastest headache
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Absolute garbage, basically just a trash walking simulator
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While "Recovery Search and Rescue Simulation" is everything it says on the box, the box doesn't say much. Simulate being a park ranger in an open world national park, run around at superhuman speed and collect garbage and track animal footprints, and other similar activites, all of which involve just walking around from point to point. The graphics aren't terrible but it really is a very boring game. You'd be better off playing a game like Rust without any other players, and surviving in the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →might be the worst game on steam... garry's incident, guise of the wolf got a new challenger...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dont buy it!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wasted 14 min + install time of my life! Not recommended, I can't even tell what ain't wrong about that game...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →♥♥♥♥ game not worth buying even if its on sale it doesnt even tell you what you have to do
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is fine as is an independent game, but I cannot recommend it. I’ve gone through all the missions, and it is horribly done. Just a few things to mention positives 1) Graphics are amazing on fantastic setting 2) Setting and concept is really neat 3) Gameplay is simple and I like it Things I am not a fan of 1) Energy meter seem a bit low 2) stamina need to be a bit more explained 3) Time feels short What I want to see is an open world for exploration and it is much bigger than it…
