Echo Point Nova

I wrote a long review but realized the best method to communicate my review would be with bullet points. -day/night system is pointless and only adds annoyance as lighting is bad and requires flashlight. -can't see through/around any form of explosion. They're opaque and take a while to despawn, hurts visibility -pickup range doesn't feel meaningfully tuned. -hit reg is wonky --direct hit rockets will explode and do no damage --bullets will just do nothing sometimes --origin point of projectiles glitches out and your bullets come out beside the gun's barrel --touching chests won't register sometimes -geometry can be really weird resulting in rather random glitches and movement issues -enemies will sometimes just randomly 2-tap you bringing scans to an abrupt end. -can clip through geometry including in "bosses". -bosses are just "shoot orbs attached to loosely-thing-shaped geometry" feels lazy and is boring. -game is super repetitive "KILL 26 ENEMIES" x 200 -menus break sometimes (viewmodel visible over map, controls not responding properly, etc.) -fps drops --when crates open --when certain enemies die -crashed while trying to complete rogue mode -feels like an asset flip --entire world looks bland and uninspired, worse than minecraft --interactable objects are just lazily dropped in the world - buttons just clip through the wall they're mounted on, levers just lazily and slowly flip, no "feedback" -enemy difficulty feels benign and weird. hardest difficult is mostly hard because you die in 2 hits but it's relatively easy to just avoid getting shot most of the time. -hat menu is junk. Can't even tell what some of the hats are because they're just badly cropped screenshots. -DLC is poorly designed; no meaningful traversal between scans - just vast expanses of emptiness -can't adjust viewmodel or crosshair at all -large enemies result in tonnes of clipping/visibility issues when you kill them. they take too long to despawn, clip through things and collide with you. -turrets are often mounted to walls/floors/ceilings but if the geometry they're attached to disappear they just stay floating where they were.... gross. -music doesn't loop properly in credits -vertical 360 camera is a gimmick and causes more problems than its worth. Could use a reorient key since you can get stuck in weird orientations. +gunplay feels pretty nice and satisfying when it works +movement is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fantastic fun where it can be utilized properly +NG+ offering rope grapple instead of hookshot-style is a nice touch +some of the perks are really fun and add to the game's enjoyment like the one that propels you vertically when you shoot downwards. +the hats are fun and varied The game feels like it missed the mark the more I played. With a more pointedly designed overworld and some serious polish there really would be something magical here (the movement and gunplay feel great) but without those things it just felt like a slog to get through. I'm 1 achievement away from 100%ing the game and I feel a sense of dread when I think of completing it, sadly. That being said, if you're not going to punish yourself by achievement hunting? it's a great brain-off-and-zip-around-and-shoot game. Not worth $25 but when it goes on sale for $12 I'd say scoop it up.

better than crimson desert

One of the better indie games I've played, easily could have been an AAA game and I wouldnt be that suprised.

La musique excite, la mer de nuage apaise, on est face à un jeu oxymorique, chill-excitant, qui pourtant réussi tout. C'est de la drogue. Probablement le meilleur fast-fps auquel il m'a été donné de jouer. Les déplacements en hoverboard, grappins, quadruple saut... donnent une liberté de mouvement exaltante, le grand roaster d'armes permet à chacun de jouer avec ses armes préférés... Et il y a des ralentis ! Des back-flips ! Des boss ! Et des gros robots...

чуток поиграл - выключил. Такая хрень.

worth it even if you just want to zip around

this is THE single player shooter

It has no business being this good. But it is that good.
