Creatures of Sonaria

Creatures of Sonaria is a game made by Sonar Studios, a survival and roleplaying game made in 2020 where you can collect, trade, and play as different creatures with other players. It is currently still a WIP, now in it's Alpha stage.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) To start off, the game is laggy and makes your device heat up quickly. Because of this, mobile players can have a hard time loading in, even PC players as well. It sometimes causes devices to crash, kicking the user out of Roblox and restarting, and causing the screen to freeze. Getting disconnected can happen pretty often, and the lag can pose problems when fighting and even kill creatures because of the delay, whether it be randomly or because they weren't able to react in time.
 * 2) Some creature abilities haven't been fixed or implemented, such as the Cottol's area poison, Gnolrok's rock breath, and the Nindyr's toxic puddle, even after weeks or months.
 * 3) The random gacha was removed in 2021 and split up into a few other gachas, each one costing more than the rest. This makes it a grindfest for new players and even experienced players in general if they want to get new creatures from the gachas, an example being the session gacha, where you have to kill 3 players, grow a creature, survive a weather event, eat 100 food and drink 100 water.
 * 4) The private servers used to cost 100 robux, but now they cost 500. Having a private server for a year means that you'll have to pay a staggering 6,000 robux, which is 75.00$ in robux. While they are optional, the game finds other ways to milk the player's money.
 * 5) The dev creatures are a quick cash grab, as their species costs robux, so you'll have to buy them in order to finish your entire collection. A new player can buy them and get a overpowered creature off of the bat.
 * 6) You get 5 mushrooms per 2 minutes in game, which forces players to be on the game for a long period of time because of this. It barely makes up for this, with only the two occasional weather events with minigames which can start to get boring quickly, along with other weather events which don't do much. There's also the time gacha, and in order to get the hellion warden you need to play for 250 hours.
 * 7) Some creatures are ridiculously overpowered, such as the Aeries and Sana'ata. The aeries was meant to be a quick escape creature, but it's stats make it more of a attacking creature instead.
 * 8) There isn't much to do post game after you've finished your collection. You can play and walk around but that's about it. Even then new creatures are constantly being cranked out, so finishing your collection fully may take a while.
 * 9) There are 259 creatures in total, counting the ones that aren't in game or were scrapped. That means around 39% of the creatures aren't in game.
 * 10) The herb plants look like brightly colored eyesores and are out of place, as it doesn't match Creatures Of Sonaria's artstyle. They constantly move around the map which makes it a pain for herbivores. What's even odder, is that they added meat spawners for carnivores which don't move around the map, and remove the challenge of hunting as a carnivore.
 * 11) The map is tiny and can be explored around easily by using a flier within a few minutes. Thankfully, there is a map redesign coming which will make it bigger.
