game good

Aug. 2024

I get why this game has mixed reviews, it's very janky. Half the times I died were because of some weird quirk with the game's physics, like I landed on a floor wrong and couldn't jump, or I went near an explosion after it went off and the hitbox was still there, or I got stuck in the animation of opening a door. And this game is very punishing when you make small mistakes, it's risky just moving around, so it incentivizes you to go slowly and carefully. That would normally be fine in a stealth game, but here it usually means waiting in a corner for full minutes while my (somewhat unbalanced) abilities recharge. Still, I really like this game. It's a good roguelike with a really good upgrades/progression system, and once you learn to work around the jankiness it's really fun (and really hard, which is fun too). I just finally beat the game and it feels very rewarding. You just have to get past some frustrating deaths that weren't really your fault.
