Games I finished at november!
One of the best platformers Ive played EVER.
Its difficult enough by itself and it has a bunch of extra content with a lot of more difficulty if you want to get the 100% in the game, doing all the missions and postgame.
Because yes, it has a postgame which basically gives you a bunch of extra levels and bosses to do.
The game includes a bunch of collectibles hidden if thats your thing. And it emulates retro games but which a very modern approach that makes it feel very unique.
Im over 30 hours and still playing because theres still things to do. Really recommend it!
If you like point and click maybe youll like this one, but even then, I feel it has its problems.
Both puzzles and typical logic… are illogic as they can be. The game alway requires you thinking in such specific ways the game is nearly impossible without a guide.
Characters are… meh. Mostly all annoying and while plot seems interesting and seems to peak around episode 5, it all goes crashing down towards the end and a certain twists makes a lot of stuff in the game to seem useless or a waste of time. Frankly I didnt enjoy nothing too much, both gameplay and story were kinda dissapointing.
Interesting game, I feel a bit conflicted though.
Plot is good enough, though it makes you cross with a lot of annoying characters that may obstaculize your way, but thats part of the journey. As the protagonists learns more about herself.
An on my side, I am discovering I suck at these point and click games.
Still, I guess its worth it.
Congrats on your beaten games! And that’s massive praise for Curse Crackers, I have it and I’ll definitely bump it up my list given your review :)
Syberia was also a very mixed feelings game for me. I think it looked great, the visual style is definitely quite unique, but it has a lot of pixel hunting and moon logic. It was one of the first games that made me reconsider whether I still liked point & click adventure games or not hahha
Curse Crackers is really amazing, if you like retro stuff especially. The developer seems to have another games of simmilar quality and style, but havent tried those yet.
And yeah Syberia was tough haha.
Its funny because I remember I used to really enjoy point and click games. Even when I got lost I eventually found a way and it wasnt annoying.
But I guess I got old? Maybe my logic isnt as flexible as it used to be or something, because when puzzles get too ridiculous or convoluted my brain now just shuts off.
Yes! I also own Prodigal, and I’ve been eyeing Claire a La Mode. A Youtuber I really like (hotcyder) has good reviews of Colorgrave’s games and I kind of want to try them all hahaha
And yeah, I played many of the old LucasArts P&C adventure games when I was younger, but they kind of just bore me now. I’ve tried many modern P&C adventure games, but the only ones I’ve really enjoyed so far as the WadJetEye ones like Excavation of Hob’s Barrow or Technobabylon. I recommend checking those if you’re not familiar with them!
Hmm, I should try that one, have Prodigal in my backlog as well. Im very happy with Colorgrave work from what ive seen.
Hmm, havent heard of those ones, ill check them and add them to my wishlist, thank you for the rec!
