Скорошни рецензии на BIG FAT PSYCHO

20$ backer.
Cant recommended it for the asking price of 30 in its current state. There is too much content missing.

I honestly think the developers should have concentrated on the porn visual novel and SHMUP aspects and put the grid combat on hold.
Maybe they would have had finished the 3 chapters by now (which was the lowest milestone).

Instead we kind of got a bit of everything promised, which was a bit underwhelming over-all.I want to say we (the backers) got blueballed, but ...I unlocked all available Pandora cards...

Mr Shakedown!
Give me a dream!
Let me have the fattest wallet...you've ever seen!

The game is vast improvement over the the first iteration Styx: Master of Shadows (SMS).

It's biggest ones being Styx's move set like, having a dedicated "grab ledge" button, allowing faster ducking over the nearest one to avoid enemy sight. Styx also no longer auto-climbs when jumping to one leaving you completely exposed.
Still haven't got a roll+ grab ledge combo.

Medals now appear from the get-go in the options menu, allowing you clear knowledge of if you triggered an alert, or killed someone by accident. And now they're all tiered by gold ,silver and bronze, so even if you don't get perfect runs, you might get a bit of extra experience none the less.
   
Some levels have been reused, much like the old game. But this time it seems its mostly for story purposes, unlike the first where it was clear attempt at padding the game.

Played in Goblin mode, since it seems the way the devs would like you to play. So i have no idea if the parrying was improved since this time I NEVER ONCE NEEDED TO USE IT (unlike the last boss fight in SMS).

Most of the levels are quite open and don't seem to restrict any play style, unless there's a boss fight. Some are more stunning than others. BUT THE BEST PART is that few things you see in the game are just for decoration, they're actually climbable.

It was absolutely satisfying to jump from a ledge to a giant gate, thinking i'd just phase through and die since it had barely any textures, and to not only land on it, but use it to jump on and airship passing through it at the time.

If i had to say something negative, my biggest gripe would be the AI, its also improved a lot, but the problems of old still appear from time to time. Some enemies glitching in place and vibrating, some getting stuck with others and blocking doorways, etc. Its less noticeable but still present (good cheese for no kill runs though).

I want to recommend this game, but the frequent crashes that make you jump through hoops to play it make it impossible.

Putting my main screen resolution to 1280 x 720, the launcher AND executable in Windows 98 compatiblity mode with admin privileges, mitigated most crashes.
Except for chapter Epìsode 7 Chapter 26 (the epilogue).

Tried everything. It crashes EVERY SINGLE TIME after the previous mission summary.

Literally everything in the game is made to piss you off and waste your time

Subevents can get blocked blocked of completion by other subevents:
Cant give all the lucky coins back because of the start of the massive pollux coin collection event.

It barely explains what it is it wants you to do, just vague directions. How the hell am i supposed to know i should give 300 candies to Jasminka? Also...i gave her like 150, and i couldnt find her to give her ther rest. Fortunately, she seems to always bee in her room at 9 in the evening.

Local man decides to turn his life into a demonic 90's sitcom.

Every time you get to a point you think you can take on the galaxy, the game reminds you there is always a bigger fish in the sea.

Edit (2019-12-01): You just have to find a way to eat them first.

Still doesn't need mods.
♥♥♥♥♥♥ messiah karma Legion run, Caesar already had a warrior and negotiator, he was missing a diplomat.
Also independent ending right after, mostly for the achievement and General "YEET HIS ASS OF MY DAM" Oliver.

I'll be back in a few years for another run. And by my achievements its gonna feature an incredibly deranged, intelligent and patriotic lady with way too much knowledge about energy weapons and explosives. And also really horny for a 200 year old stuck in a pod.

Dont make me create an account....when i have to log in with steam just to play. I appreciate the fact that you could make more than one Spellweaver per steam account, but give me a login with steam option or something.

When Tim Schafer still had talent.
