ENDER MAGNOLIA: Bloom in the Mist

Alors, je ne vais pas faire de long retour. C'est simplement un de mes meilleurs jeux auquel j'ai joué de toute ma vie. Merci aux développeurs pour ce chef-d'œuvre...

连射弹+迅雷强袭+明灭之柱+自动电击 我莱拉克真是太有操作了（

Максимально душная и безынтересная игра, сразу видно что балансом игры занимались японцы, обычные враги разваливаются за 2 удара, боссы впитывают урона как будто из титана сделаны, каждый босс жирнее предыдущего, но абсолютно все убивают тебя за 2-3 удара - и только в этом вся и сложность, мувсеты, атаки и их анимация примерно на уровне лидлового аниме платформера, сложность можно настраивать на каждой скамейке, и может у меня конечно гордость в жопе свербит я хз, но менять сложность на более прощающую просто потому что разраб не мог не выкрутить статы врагам в более-менее усредненные показатели я не собираюсь, в остальном это наибанальнейшая по дизайну японская метроидвания - фентези с роботами, магическими академиями, наискучнейшим саундтреком с пианино и электрогитарой от которого уже тошнит в анимешных играх, дропнул с позором после босса профессора магии или кто она там, просто уже не мог сдержать зевоты и засыпал, я понимаю что японцы любят всё растягивать и максимально минмаксить в своих играх каждый несчастный процент чтобы не умирать с 2 ударов, но мне уже тошно от этого дизайна

其它方面全面进步的情况下BOSS设计和剧情大退步，尤其是BOSS设计，粪招复读难度全靠数值堆，点名工厂的大机器人和潜水的傻比这两坨超级大粪，唯一一个设计的比较好的魔女还是个医学博导一直加血，2倍难度根本打不动，如果三代能综合一二代的优点的话将会是真正的类银杰作

Boss有点难打，小怪有点超模，但是莉莉可爱，拉拉神了😘

Que decir... si la primera entrega me dejó enamorado esta me arrebató el corazón, ahora sin ningún tipo de coña, mira que es difícil mejorar algo ya casi perfecto como lo era ENDER LILIES: Quietus of the Knights, pero lo han conseguido, y encima de calle (que con esto no quiero decir que Lilies sea un mal juego, esta claro que sigue siendo un 10/10), la banda sonora es incluso mejor que la de la preculea, y ya es decir teniendo en cuenta la maravilla de lo que era la de la primera entrega, en cuanto a dificultad este lo ha mejorado mucho ya que la base es muy casual pero han dado la opción a modifica la dificultad a merced cosa que está de lujo para masocas como yo que se lo pasó con todos los modificadores al máximo xdxdxddx... en fin, el mapa supero bien estructurado, y gráficamente hermoso, la historia una locura y el hecho de que ocurra después del la primera entrega, se haga referencia y no contentos con eso hagan que cierto personaje haga aparición en esta entrega lo hace un juego de 10. Ahora si, el platino... aquí si me decepcionó un poco, pero solo un poco, esto debido a que en esta entrega si pedían un poco mas de farmeo para conseguir todo lo que son las corazas los anillos etc, pero por el lado bueno hay muchos amuletos y rutas de farmeo que hacen estos logros un paseo. Para finalizar decir lo mismo que en la primera entrega, si veis este juego de oferta o estáis pensando en comprarlo pero no os decidís, hacedlo, no lo penséis, es una obra de arte que os tendrá 15-25h enganchados a la pantalla disfrutando

Having had a genuinely wonderful time with Ender Lilies, I decided that, despite the warnings of a friend who got here before me, that Magnolia deserved a shot despite their reservations. I am definitely glad I did as I think overall I did enjoy the game, however it doesn't have anywhere near the same charm or enjoyability factor that it's Predecessor did. Graphically things are a bit cleaner, the menus and UI have polished up well and I do like the looks of things here. the Magi-punk styling of the land of fumes is very cool but personally I liked the more medieval feeling of Lilies more, this is just a personal thing and totally subjective, the art style is still really nice and looks good! the gameplay itself however is where I really feel like the game fails the vibe check set by the previous title. Progression is definitely very choppy between the early, mid and late game. exploration in lilies was very smooth and the map naturally evolved and opened up as you gained new spirits. here you get 90% of your movement tools up front and as a result a lot more map is immediately open to you but because you're still gatekept by the few tools the game still makes you work for it the way you open up new areas feels much less organic. The decoupling of your movement skills to the allies you acquire also feels kind of odd given it was such a major part of the first games overall feeling, your combat partners are very definitely your combat partners with only one exception. the ability to have two sets of abilities which you can switch on the fly has been removed for... some reason? making it rather more tedious to experiment in boss fights, which is something you're likely going to be doing a lot because ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ they really made some of these a chore to get through. The difficulty bros have unfortunately very clearly gotten to the developers between Lilies and Magnolia. Ender Lilies had a fairly smoothly ramping difficulty curve which, aside from a few key spikes here and there was pretty manageable and kept things challenging without being frustrating. this philosophy has been totally done away with for the sequel. Difficulty is now much higher at base and many bosses demand near perfect play to overcome while the difficulty spiked between the early, mid and late games are noticeable and sharp. I am not a slouch at these games but I don't enjoy spending long periods of time hard stuck on certain fights because of what feels like pure RNG as to whether I'll be allowed a clean punish window or I'm being baited into a trap. Story wise, things are solid overall IMO. Very clearly a game that can stand on it's own two feet here but with plenty of supporting lore to enjoy if you played the first game and the world building is excellent with the lore pickups you can find and the environmental storytelling all working together well. As for the pacing of the plot... rather like it's somewhat choppy gameplay structure the plot is also somewhat roughly paced, your aims are somewhat nebulous until about halfway through where you get a bit more of an idea of what's going on but 90% of major story moments happen at the end of the game which doesn't really do it any favours Overall I did generally enjoy my time with Ender Magnolia, it's a polished sequel but has lost a certain amount of charm along the way and its exploration and overall vibe is markedly weaker than it's predecessor which had a very strong presentation and theme and better understood the whole metroid-like genre as a balance between combat and exploration. I would very much like to see a third game in the series but I also hope if it happens that it has more in common with Lilies than Magnolia
