Bird

If there's only one thing you buy today, make it Bird.

Is there anything else like Bird out there? Bird is unique; it provides an experience nothing else can rival. Bird is a deep game that challenges the intellect and lures gamers into an alternative reality where they may never wish to return. Not many games are set in avian society; rather than pretending to be a bird, as non-bird games do, Bird enables the player to become one. This permits flying with an advanced flapping system – leading to an unmatched experience for bird enthusiasts everywhere. This game is packed full of actual bird activities, such as flying, landing, eating and singing. If you want to play as an avian protagonist with the ability to fly instead of walk, then Bird is the video game for you. This bird simulator lets players live their life as a bird, because what better way to experience what it's like to be a bird than by playing as one?

There are many games out there, but very few are about birds. This is a true bird video game. With its unique premise, Bird will revolutionize the way people think about video games. Bird challenges players to become better birds through skill development and mastery of advanced bird dynamics, like using one's wings efficiently and attaining top flight speed before swooping down for an attack. Bird contains no gun violence, bloodshed, war simulation, birds being hit in the face, feathers or feces - only birds. There are no guns, because birds have no hands and therefore cannot wield guns (duh). This game seeks to fill the void in the market by providing gamers with a genuine bird experience.

Warning: Asset Flip!
Bird is a Digital Homicide style asset flip, or what Valve calls a "Fake Game". The "developer" paid for/pirated a few Unity asset store packs, dumped them all in a blender, and submitted it to Valve as if they're real game developers.

Two notable criteria for what makes an asset flip instead of legitimate use of stock assets are whether those assets comprise the majority of the game, and whether the "developer" properly credited the people who created most of the assets in the game. This game fails both of those tests. The "developers" here didn't credit any of the artists and real, actual game developers who created the assets here, so this is plagiarism, as well as cash grab shovelware.

In this case, the asset flipper took a basic Unity forest asset and dumped a low poly bird asset into it and called it a day. Seriously, that's all this is. They want your money for this. It has no value or merit as a real game.

Taking this shovelware seriously as if it was a genuine attempt to make a game, it doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard.

The game features lazy low-polygon "retro" assets, making this look like a barely functional 3D game from the 1990s. It's unclear why the developers weren't able to arrange high quality, high polygon count contemporary assets for the game, and also irrelevant... what matters is that this looks bad as a result of their decisions, a compromise PC gamers shouldn't have to put up with.

These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game.

The poor quality of this game is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the game all-time peak player count was only ONE player. That's right, only one person ever played this at a time. When I played this for the purposes of reviewing it, I equalled the peak player count for the game. OUCH. The only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 100,000 games for gamers to choose from, the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected.

So, should you buy this game? Is this one of the best of the 100,000+ games on Steam?

Bird is relatively cheap at $1 USD, but it's not worth it. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, and the questionable ethical nature of the developer and/or their associates (as outlined above), this is impossible to recommend. Remember that if you buy a game from an unethical developer, you're putting your money at risk.

Also note: There's a huge number of joke/paid reviews for this crapware. If those fake reviews were removed (like Valve is supposed to do), the game would have a hugely different, negative review score. Take the review score of this asset flip with a grain of salt.

This has got to be the smallest bird simulator I've ever played,
fly around freely in a small bounded map, kind of like an island, but a nice island with a natural environment, pretty enough to keep fluttering around in the game for a while,

You can see me fluttering around here if you want to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QCVV0WZC8E

Anyway, the environment also has a 24 hour cycle and after each day there will be 'day 1', 'day 2', ect on your screen, I have no idea if the number of days has any effect on any details of the bird.
This environment also brings some changes to the environment such as day and night with the accompanying visual effects that allow the sun's rays to descend neatly through the leaves of the trees and in this way also show us the different colors that nature has to offer.

Besides flying around you will also have to look out for worms that you can eat, you can also take off first and continue flying with the worm that is still alive in your beak, and swallow it at any time.

All in all Bird is a very, very, very small game/sim with a very, very, very small price, this ratio is perfect for what you can expect.
