I just finished Okami and I have to say something about it.
but cause I’ve sat here for close to 20 minutes trying to figure out what to say (and messing around with the title while I do :3)…
I’ve decided to just narrow it down to one thing I liked about it and one thing I disliked :3
I liked the bosses (and some of the monsters I guess) :3 the varied styles and and figuring out how to beat each one theirs an umbrella he keeps defending with…what if I blow wind? or lets attach each of these vines to the but of the spider and rip it open :3<
what I didn’t like however was how slow the text is.
(The movement was really slow as well but then I changed the settings to low and no longer felt like I was moving through molasses.) I could not stand how slow the text moved however it crawled across the screen and I found myself skipping parts (no speedup option but you can just skip all of it? ugggg) and then failing the first time I tried a new brush technique because i skipped through the tutorial text :3.
if it was a visual novel it’d be a deal breaker cause I could barely get through cut scenes but as an adventure game its just a minor flaw :3

Black The Fall

While I'm here I also beat another game from my POP - Black the fall. I did not like this nearly as much. There is not a single thing wrong with it. Its similar in style to Limbo and Inside... but Playing it felt like a chore :/ the art was kinda pretty and I found myself quite impressed with random points- for instance playing with shadows so the platform is illuminated in darkness and you have to jump over the black hole then suddenly there is a hole in the wall that's bright and the platform around it is in shadows so if you're rushing you think its solid but its not ;3 but my take away was I felt like a chore and I didn't have fun :/

Side note that applies to both games its annoying when a game doesn’t recognize any controllers if you don’t start the game with them- I found myself starting a game and turning on my controller while it loads then remembering and alt-F4’ing out of the loading screen to re start the game with controller working :/

Chore games are the worst. That’s unfortunate as Black the Fall looked quite appealing.

And I’m totally with you about the controller thing. That’s just the worst! By the way, what is that list meaning, the Play or Pay one? I might have missed something maybe but I couldn’t find any of your recent main posts talking about it and I’m curious about what it means.

Its a group that was made where you’re challenged to play something (first month it was three and you had to play one short and one medium or just one long game from the bunch and if you dont manage to make that goal you have to “pay” with a GA…idk lastM made the group based on a event in some other groups

Oh I was curious what was the price but that might end up being quite expensive! Unless you can throw some cheap bundle, but still.

Anyway, good luck with that challenge xD

Agree on Okami’s slow moving text.
Which was kind of strange cuz further into the game when conversing with several characters, the text actually would go much much faster. But it always felt like a hit and miss.
