The Deer God
This game is really fun to play, but it does have many issues. Nothing you would not expect from a Beta version of the game. Once they get this fixed, the game should do rather nicely.

The graphics of the game are widely praised for their beauty and artistic style, with many reviewers highlighting the stunning pixel art and immersive atmosphere created by the visuals and soundtrack. However, some players feel that the impressive graphics do not compensate for the game's lackluster gameplay and technical issues, such as glitches and performance problems. Overall, while the graphics are a strong point, they are often seen as the game's only redeeming feature amidst criticisms of repetitive gameplay and shallow mechanics.

80%The Deer God Review
The Deer God is a 2D platformer that aside from pretty looks offers next to no substance and isn’t engaging at all.
30%The Deer God Review - PS4/PS Vita
The Deer God is a solid statement against animal cruelty and even sport hunting, exploring an empathetic view from the eyes of a deer. While it features solid, simplistic gameplay, frequent hiccups and balance issues keep this from being a game worthy of the title’s undertaking.
