Haiku, the Robot

Inicié este juego justo después de terminar MIO: Memories in Orbit, lo cual puede hacer no taaaan justa mi percepción. Sin embargo Haiku es un metroidvania que hace las cosas bien, no destaca en muchos de sus apartados (excepto lo visual, muy bonito el arte pixel), pero no hace nada mal. La jugabilidad es bastante fluida, es fácil recodar el "back track" y no te pierdes mucho. El combate es simple, no es difícil y menos injusto. La historia es simple, sus NPC bonitos. Completar todos los logros es relativamente sencillo, si exploraste bien el mapa, es probable que termines casi completo el juego. Si tuviera que describirlo, diría que es un Metroidvania Cozy. Es muy tranquilo, sencillo y agradable. Creo es un buen juego introductorio al género. RECOMENDADO 7/10 NOTA: ya vi lo que hiciste Silksong, ya te vi...

better than Dota2

Loved it, managed to get to nearly 90% completion before getting double jump and the hook, I didn't realize I could use the bomb to break the ground so I abused Blink, Ball and Pogos to get stuff I wasn't intended to get, that's just perfect if you ask me, clearly made by someone that played Hollow Knight and understood the formula. The only bad thing I can't think of is that I wish it was denser, it has plenty of areas but they lack density, I would buy Haiku 2 on a hearthbeat if it was twice as dense, I really enjoyed it but I also wanted more content. On a more technical note, for some reason it gives you a warning saying that it may not work on a modern version of MacOS that does not support 32 bits software, it worked just fine. The map is a bit broken on a 16:10 display but it does not affect gameplay at all.

JUEGO HERMOSO

[h1] My Experience [/h1] Haiku, The Robot is, well, all things considered, a pretty standard metroidvania, but it does things well and stands strong on its own two legs. I really enjoyed my time with it and do recommend it but I don't think it was anything particularly special to me. The visuals stood out pretty well to me. Pixelated, cartoony, cutesy robots in monochrome colors. I really liked it but I just can't find the words to quite express it. It's very charming and never got boring to look at. Not to mention each area had their distinct identities and backgrounds. The sound effects are solid too and I don't have much to say about them. For the gameplay, I found the platforming and action to be great although standard. I felt sufficiently challenged often in both regards, but with the bossfights I felt the game leaned more towards platforming than action, namely due to a lack of mechanics like parrying or blocking attacks. This isn't a bad thing, but it's something to know if you're more interested in action-heavy metroidvanias. My experience with the bosses was mostly okay, with a number taking barely an attempt or two to beat, but some others taking a few attempts to beat. In particular there were two really frustrating bosses, and the boss runbacks are pretty 50/50. Sometimes they're basically right outside the arena, other times you have a short obstacle course ahead of you. I felt the same way about the enemy variety for the most part. Most are meh and didn't really challenge you to combat, but served more like an obstacle or level hazard. Thankfully, the suite of abilities you unlock throughout the game makes it easier to navigate and avoid fights when you want to focus on exploring. The exploration is great and rewarding, with a number of nooks and crannies just out of sight or inaccessible to tease you to come back to later. There's a fast travel point in each area and at least a couple save points, but there were a couple points in my playthrough where I was getting worried where my next save point was because I was running short on time. There's also a banking system since you can lose money on death without a chance to recover it. As long as you're not deliberately throwing yourself into death, you'll find the economy to be pretty generous. The map system is simple, as you explore rooms they get added to the map. Some areas are locked and require you to blindly explore them until you find a disruptor. Once destroyed, that section of the map is unlocked and will be marked as usual. At first you won't have any markers, but as you explore you'll run into a character who will give you markers for save points, fast travel points, etc... There's even a chip that marks obstacles with a question mark so that you remember to check out the area later after you've unlocked a new ability. Chips are basically accessories that give you boosts or special abilities. You can find most of them by exploring, a couple are found at shopkeepers. I don't have anything particular to say about them. One unique mechanic the game has is overheating. It's basically a global cooldown for all of Haiku's abilities, so overusing abilities can lead to overheating, which means you can't use any for a bit. You can find chips and upgrades that increase the limit though. When it comes to the story and the world, it's just that some apocalypse happened and Haiku, not knowing who he is, just woke up and started bashing robots. So yeah, explore the world, find out what really happened, what Haiku's purpose is, and so on. It's a disconnected story with lots of lore spread around the world, and I got a gist of the premise of the story but couldn't be bothered to explore to learn more as I personally don't like this kind of storytelling. I know some of you do though. [h2] Conclusion [/h2] In conclusion, I do recommend it! I enjoyed my short time with it. I don't believe the game is anything that is new to metroidvania fans, but it is a very solid and well-put together experience that deserves your time. I beat it in 6ish hours, at 95% completion. I didn't wanna say this bit because I don't wanna sound like I never played any other metroidvania - Haiku seems to take a lot of inspiration from Hollow Knight. Personally, I wasn't really invested in the world and its inhabitants. Again, personally. It's not an issue with the game, it's just my preference against this kind of storytelling.
