The premise sounds awesome. I know no French at all. Would the fact that all of the signage is in French break immersion if I played the game in English? I guess this is something that varies from person to person, but it would be nice to hear from someone that has played the game.
Not at all. I believe the game was actually made for English audiences because the speaking animations seem to match the English subtitles and look like a bad dub in French. There is a lot of French in the background, but it’s more like immersive world details. The important stuff is either place names that are explicitly mentioned, like the Saint-Michel Rotunda in the first screenshot, or written in English. Heck, I think there’s more English in that first screenshot than French.
Did you get the scare that can happen in the Mind Place?
There’s one point in the story, where after interacting with the clue board and exiting out, turning around, a cultist will appear in the room.
If you got used to just switching between the different things in the mind place using the buttons, though, instead of walking around, it never happens.
That one scared me every time, even though i knew it was coming. With the final draft i had my hands on the pause button just to try and capture a screenshot of it. It was really clever, especially with how they keep the Mind Place setup as the safe spot in the game up until that second
If you plan on buying though - do note while it is quite fun, it is also buggy and unbalanced (chars/bikes/lack of necessary boosts on some levels/etc.) in some situations and therefore it might be hard. Played this on local coop with my partner and we got random hangs after crossing the finish line or 2nd player might not respawn after being thrown off the bike, etc. Definitely seems like abandoned by the studio so don’t expect updates. We’ve bought it on a steam sale so it wasn’t expensive or anything, but it is a shame that it wasn’t polished enough.
In the 18+ hours I’ve played, I only had one enemy takedown mission where the number didn’t go down as I killed enemies. Other than that, I’ve never experienced any bugs in this game.
But I’ve played exclusively solo campaign mode, so maybe there’s something there. I did try to go online last night and it just errored out, so maybe multiplayer/online mode is buggy.
Lucky you I guess, we’ve primarily played local coop, 2 xbox controllers and on a clean win10, maybe ~8hrs max. 1 out of 4 levels, the game was either stuck after finishing (had to be closed via task mngr), one player could not respawn for the entirety of the level and the other had to finish it alone, or we just couldn’t get close to boss to kill him. Solo was I think without much of these issues, but ofc not as fun :)
If you like, the developer displays his phone number on screen every time you die. You could try to reach out to him and let him know his game is broken. If he’s still engaged with the game, he might look into it.
