Mean Beans (PC) Review

 

Mean people will say that 'Mean Beans' is just a Rip-Off of the more popular round-based Battle Royale Game 'Bean Battles'. It is pretty difficult to argue with this observation, since Mean Beans seems to be strongly inspired by the only other Bean based Battle Royale game. Both games use similar graphic engines, have similar characters and both consist of a round-based BR mode.  

The big difference between both games is, that Bean Battles is a third-person shooter, while Mean Beans is a first-person shooter. Other than that, Bean Battles got more maps, a bigger (but still small) playerbase and less Glitches. Mean Beans seems to be made by either a solo developer or a very small team and it does show. Mean Beans doesn't seem to be well optimized, tabing the game or changing settings will make the game crash and if you lower your visual settings your firerate will increase. These things shouldn't be in the game and are annoying.  

Weapons are all pretty standard, but not that awful either. There are only 4 maps, but they at least look decent. The small playerbase makes it often hard to even start a match, which makes it difficult to recommend the game.

 

Result:

I don't think Mean Beans deserves some of the hate it gets from Bean Battles fans, but apart from the perspective change it doesn't do anything better than Bean Battles or brings anything new to the genre. This would be absolutely fine, if it was very well done and fun. The game however has too many issues and glitches for that. I wouldn't actively discourage players from playing, since the gameplay is still somewhat enjoyable, but I can't really recommend the game to anybody either.

 

4.5/10
