Quack. 🦆 This is less a game and more of an experience. No, you cannot control the ducks. But you CAN watch them. And by watching them, you can witness SO MUCH. One of my ducks had babies which it promptly abandoned. Another duck stabbed a Flamingo pool floaty and it deflated. Another duck went around the pond so fast that it JETTISONED ITSELF INTO THE OCEAN and disappeared over the horizon, forever. I cried. It's like a soap opera. With rubber ducks. You never know what's going to happen next. I streamed this game and narrated the events for five hours. Every time the duck bar began to fill toward a new duck, chat would chant, "DUCK IMMINENT". When I was done I immediately bought the DLC. A bunch of my friends bought the game and began gifting it to friends. I already can't wait to play again and check out the new ducks in the DLC. I hope that the creators continue to create new ducks and features, because they're onto a real ducking winner of a game here.Show moreShow less

Dont get me wrong, I love the game despite the lack of gameplay. I would watch the ducks living their lives for hours. My only issue here is that this game has no reason nor business to have the GPU usage above 95% Like seriously? Even high demanding games don't reach those numbers. Developer said in the discussions that they'll fix the issue at the next build but that was around July. It's already November but still no improvement. I'm already at the process of refunding this game, unless of course the issue gets addressed or there is some fix for it then I'll happily buy it again. But for now, just no. Also if y'all not aware, I have already tried tweaking the settings like Vsync, resolution, etc. Still no dice.Show moreShow less
I'm an autistic person with a special interest in ducks and I also suffer with a lot of other mental illnesses that can get pretty ugly, this game is such a blessing. I can watch cute little duckies float around with funny music and just relax. This game makes me feel safe.Show moreShow less
You are not a placid plastic duck, you watch a placid plastic duck...:( I thought I was signing up to be one...ah well. Also why does it take up 97% of my GPU and cause it and everything on my computer to slow way down? :(Show moreShow less
Nobody will read my review, so I'll just say i'm gay.Show moreShow less
You need all the DLCs to 100% the game.Show moreShow less
