Beautiful game

Stanley just broke me, was very tempted to just put this aside after his last voyage. Glad I didn't, what a ride

You NEED the unofficial patch to be able to play this.

But do try it out. It is really intense for a game from that time. And that's only after 1 playthough, having seen only a portion of the content.

Looking forward to the second

Solid deckbuilder, simple but fun world and mechanics that are not too complicated once the link is made (unless you overcomplicate things for yourself)

The first hour or so was a drag and I couldn't believe the positive reviews. I picked a greatsword which made my attack slow & clunky (not knowing there was a weapon system in this game, focusing pure on STR stats), movement without skills was slow, jump was low, ...

But the game was built for that, and that was OK. After that hour, you evolve more and more to a better and better experience, eventually becoming as smooth as other metroidvanias (except the usual dreaded underwater levels). It had its moments of frustration, but the game in general turned out very fine.

7/10, do recommend but you have to push through that first hour or so

Can't even pass the first battle, constant crashes :(

Although it missed the charm of the first game, and while the story was going haywire with all the Void shizzle, it was generally an enjoyable experience

Sometimes, you don't really need enemies to create a great experience, atmosphere will do. And this game symbolizes that.

I found the puzzles sometimes far-fetched and illogical, but generally OK. Good experience

Let's be honest here - you had an intern who had to have a project for school, so you let him develop this. Right?

A gem of a game. Very fun!

Only reason I give a thumbs down is because the game is in forever early access. There's an 'ending cinematic' but it's like in half of the journey what you set out to do.

> Be detective character
> Try to find a person with a face no one remembers
> Think 'oh, nice, I made a character with a type of path I'd want to explore'
> Get ♥♥♥♥♥♥ in unavoidable fights as you're too weak to fight and don't find enough junk to sell for better weapons
> Barely get through some battles, always close and some retries necessary but eventually with some luck you could do it
> Then you face ghouls

> Make new character, combat focused
> Breeze through the game, still don't miss anything fun it has to offer

Have to say, there's something wrong with the approach here. Although I loved how you've put the lore alive, the execution was meh

A very extensive character creation, and the game telling you that combat is not a main focus. But it is, or you should build around it in any case
