This is a misunderstood masterpiece. It's the only game

Does /v/ not want to talk about good videogames?

This board is in such a fucking sorry state.

It wasn't fun or playable on release and bombed. Even if its good now no one will pick it up until a steam sale. It looks like an indie pixel game.

Heard it did well though combined with Kickstarter money so im happy. New content coming too and multi, we'll need a /v/ fightclub

I really liked it too, the feeling of exploration and danger was very well done, shame casuals gave it a bad review for the difficulty

Underwhelming, directionless, pointless, irrelevant, waste of time tbqhwy.

PS - I'm better at the game than everybody in here no doubt, I fully explored basically every area minus 2-3 (can't remember exactly how many), each of which contained a whole lot of nothing.

What a pointless waste of time and potential the game turned out to be.
There needed to be an apex predator (aka boss) in each and every area, but there isn't.
There needed to be some sort of upgrade in every area, but there isn't.
There needed to be a purpose to travel through each area, but there isn't.

Surviving is piss easy and there's nothing else to do. ~L I T E R A L L Y~ nothing.
Killing enemies gives you basically nothing at all.
I don't expect XP or any trash like that, but I would like to use some animal/plant parts for various things.

Good points -
Solid eco system
Decent music when it actually plays
Very nice art style
Some decent tense moments

All of those good points are irrelevant though when the game is as pointless as it is.
Call me when/if they actually refine it and give the game a purpose.

Yeah sounds like every non metroid/castlevania game that liked what sotn did but wanted to put their own retarded spin to it and ultimately is more up its own ass than anything else.

Hollow Knight is better.

Sorry.

Fucking loved it and it really was underrated. The exploration and learning about the world was amazing, shit like trading pearls or finding the "gods" was stuff I haven't felt in ages.

>all these comparisons to Hollow Knight
they have almost nothing in common, why do this.

>>387519408
I played a few hours of it. While it's nice presentation-wise, the gameplay was way too simple. I got bored pretty quickly. Typical Metroidvanias (the good ones anyways) give you a lot more to do and have a good sense of character progression, it's not just moving from point A to point B. Now maybe partway through it suddenly gets amazing but I don't feel like wasting time to find out.

So does this game any Metroidvania aspect of progression, or am I stuck doing the same things at the end of the game as the start?
