I loved the lore of the original and the asymmetric play-styles were really unique, but I think I’ve just outgrown my 4X phase. Still hope the game does well
An absolute masterpiece of a game. What starts off as a “cute rhythm game” very rapidly evolves into some of the most immaculate gameplay design and in-game storytelling I have ever seen. I “joke” often than the final boss is the tears in your eyes, but it’s a lot less of a joke than you would imagine.
If you like rhythm games, emotional storys and ludonarrative harmony, I cannot recommend this game enough.
Yeah, even if the monetization is okay not some gacha bullshit the game will still make you play it everyday with some dailies bullshit. Really hoping they move past that type of shit.
It’s a conundrum, as being free-to-play is why the silly fanservice exists, T&A sells. But should China move past this shit with premium releases, they could end up buckling to the pressure to appeal to the modern audience and tone things down like everyone else, thus destroying what makes their designs so appealing in the first place.
If this is the gameplay they choose to show off I’m not terribly excited. A few minutes of beat-em-up action, followed by on-rails shooting and driving segments interlaced with QTEs, all with enough quips and callouts to make a Marvel fanboy tired.
If Valve were any other company, it would get crucified for its practices, including that it was the first in the West to popularize microtransactions with its Team Fortress 2, long before the likes of EA. It’s just that gamers have a blind spot for Valve.
I’m torn. Valve has been so good for Linux gaming. They made a handheld console that emphasizes real ownership and the right to repair. They generally make good decisions when it comes to things and while they do take a big cut of game sales, their platform has so many features it’s crazy.
This gambling thing though really sucks. I get that they need to monetize, but I feel like they could get away with just selling skins, or having the loot boxes being a free daily play reward that drops things that could be sellable on the marketplace. No way to buy a box like this. Just earned for free through play.
