The Great Fleece is a F2P Point and Click based Stealth game. This game is available on the PSN Store for PS5 owners and on Itch.io for PC users. This is a student project and while I respect that, if you release your game on the Playstation Store, than you have to live with being compared to all the other "real" games out there.
The Great Fleece can be beaten in less than 3 minutes. The gameplay is the most simple form of a point and click adventure possible. Stealth might be the setting of the game, but doesn't actually play a role. You can just walk past the guards without a worry in the world. The AI is pretty awful. I tested walking straight into one of the security guards and he wouldn't notice me, until he finally moved his head in my direction. There is neither a challenge involved nor any satisfactory to be taken out of the gameplay. Before you even realize what is going on, the game is already over. There are fun and interesting Point and Click adventures out there, but The Great Fleece is certainly not one of them.
I haven't even talked about the visuals yet. Comparing them to PS2 games would be a grave insult to every low quality bargain-bin PS2 game out there. PS5 trophy collectors might give the game a chance to gain 5 easy gold trophies in under 5 minutes, but otherwise the game can not be recommended to anybody to actually play. This is fine as an early student effort, which with months more work could turn into a prototype of an actual game, but it is not a game that should have been released.
