With respect, I don't agree with some of the comments, this game (or experience is probably more correct) has given me one of my most memorable PlayStation experiences and I have just now played it... Jan 2021. Sure, some of the physics and particle effects are dated (few games get wind right, right?!), but some scenery is truly gorgeous. The cave scenery is stunning, my jaw hit the floor on that section. Just stunning. I don't think I've seen cave scenery as gorgeous as that in any game. The story is heart wrenching but you have to piece it together yourself, and there are so many clues that lead to different interpretations, which is done deliberately. It deals with loss and acceptance in a very profound way. Its a short experience but genuinely unforgettable. I also learned some things I would not have known otherwise about visual clues from the directors commentary on my 2nd playthru. If you like Gone Home, Everyone's Gone To The Rapture, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, you'll live this one. It's a little more linear but very profound, I know I'll be haunted by this game. And It's only 2.99 euro on the PS Store just now, on sale!!! 3 euro!!!! 3 euro!!!
I'm a bit confused here... PushSquare gave Bee Simulator a 4/10 in its own review.... https://www.pushsquare.com/reviews/ps4/bee_simulator Does that justify being classified as a underrated gem??? Mad Max totally I get, it was one of my most memorable games on Ps4 and criminally underlooked. (Same with Mafia III.)
