Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn

不要在意人物美醜，這遊戲還行啊。

6.5/10

It's a somewhat o.k. game, but not more. Graphics is nice and sometimes beautiful, story is more or less o.k.. The focus of the game is on fighting and parcour, but it does not do both very well. I found the controls for parcouring weird - for example, you can double.jump to increase jump distance but there are several instances where doing a double jump instead of a single one will actually cause you to fall down. There were some spots where I neede 10 or more tries to actually get a double jump timed and positioned just right, there was oine where i needed a YT video on slow-mo until I got it. Fighting is mostly o.k., but it always feels a bit lagging especially on the major bosses (of which there are only 4). The final boss is awful due to having along drawn-out first phase and then a second phase where there are so many light effects and "boss flies into the air and attacks out of nowhere" that I finally decided not to bother and switched to story mode. The other fights are o.k. but there are only a limited number of ways to do crowd control and you often get shot from someone you don't even see. (Which makes the mechanics of "you can increase XP until you get hit" a bit pointless.) Speaking of things you don't see, there were several times when some NPC talked to me but I had no clue where he actually was. Finally, in an "open-world" game there should be no points that change depending on what you did before. There are some points that can only be accessed until you talk to some NPC (not because you get a key or something, but just "item is here, but you cannot access it". The worst spot was in one city where you had to just "explore". I had been everywhere, but I entered one square from the wrong side and before I was at some gate, so the cut-scene that then activates the way sinmpky did not play and I was confused because I was sure I had been everywhere. After I re-entered the square from the other side, suddenly my character reacted to somtehing I had seen at least twice before... Final point: I found the camera movement sometimes a bit nausea-inducing. If you must, buy it on a sale, but I'm quite sure you'll forget it soon after.
