Meet your inner detergent builder and despoiler .
adjoin Your Maker is the next title from Behavior Interactive , the creators of all in by Daylight , and while it ditches the repugnance genre , it retains the fellowship ’s identity . Imagine if Mario Maker merge with Indiana Jones and was wrapped up in a bizarre and worrisome post - apocalypse where humanity is on the verge of quenching : that ’s Meet Your Maker . And while the concept works , it does sense light on content , and it sure wo n’t be everyone ’s loving cup of teatime .
Gameplay
The gameplay of Meet Your Maker may be the most divisive . Raiding is an art that appreciates slow and methodical crusade and inspects each box before proceedings . I make out the accent of navigating the inner ear of frontier settlement and weigh each pick before moving forward . There ’s only so much ammo to discover , and I could give out in a single hit . This put pressure on my decisions and force me to approach traps strategically .
However , this confine how I could act the game . FPS shooters are typically met with strategies such as run - and - gun , camping , and more . With Meet Your Almighty ’s focus on nullify traps , I was force into a slower playstyle . While Meet Your Maker is n’t a traditional shooter , restricting how I could bring the biz , or at least having a single optimum way to play , go to a one - dimensional experience .
Score : 4/5
Social
forgather Your manufacturing business ’s societal assumption is one of the chief pillar of the secret plan , but it lack the necessary depth other titles , such as Super Mario Maker , have . Players are limited to a prize number of outstation , and more are added when discharge a raid . you may spend some of the in - secret plan currency to refresh the list , but this can be thwarting if you are puzzle with challenging levels . The way levels are break dance down could also be reworked , as induce just the three tier of levels without extra rag lumps them all together .
But even more thwarting is the lookup purpose , as it only seems to make for if an frontier settlement is designate as social . I had a colleague search for a level I create using the in - secret plan name and my gamer tag , but he could not locate it . I even searched for one of the outposts on my raid list but could not feel it with the search function . This is a problem for a game that boost share and playing level . It forces you to choose between letting players strike your degree organically or only allowing it be find through searching .

Aesthetic
Meet Your Maker has a gripping world that made me want to dive headlong into the traditional knowledge . Players take on the role of Custodians , guardians , and spoiler of outposts . The primary purpose of the Custodian is to steal Genetic Material from other outposts to feed the Chimera in their outstation . This bizarre and alien creature is the lifeblood of humanity , which has now plunge into near defunctness . The designs of the Custodian , Chimara , and guard experience like an otherworldly post - apocalyptic experience that pull in the universe feel unequalled .
Where the aesthetic suffers is the actual design of outposts . Everything is blocky , with the three options being square , ramp , and corner spell . you could plaster dissimilar textures and designs on these , which helps , but this does little to alleviate the layout and shapes . These do not modify the effect of block , traps , or paths , but instead provide decorative makeover . As cool as the humanity is in Meet Your Maker , the literal gameplay of building and foray into pale in comparing .

Creativity
fit Your Maker falls flat in overall creativity . While the actor ultimately determine how to contrive their outpost and how it can be defeat , the option available for build up finger limited . There are a handful of traps and sentry duty , which can be qualify , but it feels like I hunt into the same idea repeatedly . This may be fixed organically as player discover new combination , but the toolset seems sparse and postulate more options .
This is further by the number of kaizoesque levels I chance . The challenge in this quantity to stack the most annoying bunker and enemies on top of each other rather than actual originative challenge . Rarely did I take on a challenge that did n’t amount to facing several Plasma Sentries or Hornets just place in a group . This was frustrating rather than challenging .
However , the few times I encountered an ingenious setup , I genuinely enjoyed visualize out how to overpower this obstacle . Increasing the bit and types of traps and guards will go a long agency to improving creativity and extending the game ’s life .

The uncollectible offender in restricting creativity in Meet Your Maker is the harvester . you could not vary the route it travels through the outstation when build . This forces you to ramp up around it . I sympathize that it shows the fastest route to attain the Genmat , but it should still be capable to be changed . As it is now , you have to shape around this path , limit your exemption in designing cakehole and your outstation layout .

Verdict – Wait for more content before joining the apocalypse
match Your Maker has the qualification of a merriment secret plan , but it feels more like a concept or an early - access firing . Behavior Interactive has announced a roadmap with additional content , but the full press release feel lacking , with a special number of snare , guard , and weapon . The confinement on creative exemption also hurts this exciting idea . Overall , Meet Your Maker needs more substance and more ways to play and build more creatively .
