Yeah that part is amazing! I’ve noticed that a lot of the projectiles are 2d sprites, I wonder how much that helps the framerate. It’s impressive no matter how you slice it.
Totally! I am real curious to see what the dev does from here. Seems like there’s a really strong foundation to go nuts with DLC or updates or whatever. I’d happily pay more than the $10 for packs of new characters or weapons, the game already feels like a great package for $10.
Anyone else been playing this one? It’s so wildly derivative (almost everything is ripped straight from either Vampire Survivors or Risk of Rain 2), but I can’t seem to stop playing. The one unique mechanic is the momentum-based movement, and for some reason that is SO addictive. The loop is solid, only thing the game needs now is more weapon variety and more stages.
gonna avoid for the sake of spoilers, but i love that Undertale had unique dialog for a few names. Not surprised Toby kept it up for the sequel, it’s really cool!
hmmm, should i support the studio capitulating to a fascist regime? Or should I support the studio being bought by murderous religious fundamentalists?
I think that’s totally fair. I had the same experience with Middle Earth: Shadow of War. I got my fill with the first one, the second one just felt like more of the same.
In this case, I never played the first one, and I think I’m only hyped bc I had just finished watching Blue Eye Samurai around the same time that the first Yotei trailer dropped. I’m still waiting until the PC drop though, but I think it’ll be fun open world junk food when I get around to it.
I have not played Civ 7 but i’ve seen a lot of it played. As someone who has only dipped my toe into Civ over the years, Civ 7 actually seems pretty interesting to me. Just the core concept of changing cultures as the game goes on, and ending up with a sort of hybrid of all the cultures that came before, is really compelling to me. It’s interesting to here your take as someone that seems to have played more of it.
To me, the biggest issue with the game right now seems to be the lack of a space age, as that just makes the endgame seem very abridged. What is the biggest issue with the game for you specifically? I know you said changing too much at once was a mistake, but you seemed to be speaking to their overall strategy more than anything.
