un juego que te ayuda a hacer masoquista, si me dieran la oportunidad de volverlo a jugar lo aria xd, inche juego hermoso
Most overrated game I've ever played. I tried my best to like this, but I genuinely did not have fun running around in circles in the same areas over and over with everything being dark and ugly. I was planning on at least doing it 100% but I can't be arsed with how boring it is, most of the challenge was just not falling asleep because it's such a bore. The music is uninspired and sometimes distracting and grating. The character designs are fine for the most part. Combat is incredibly repetitive and boring. Platforming feels floaty and sticky with animation delays every action just enough to make it frustrating. I beat the game, I did path of pain. I've done most of what I could be bothered to do before I just had to call quits there was nothing that would make me enjoy this game by the +25 mark at the credits. My steam hours is not representative because I fell asleep at my desk a few times or left to do other things when I couldn't pay attention. Half of the time playing was spent talking to friends and watching videos on the side just so I could power through it. Genuinely just put me in a bad mood every time I booted it up and getting instantly reminded how much I dislike the game. 2/10
-encontro um caixao e entro no lar dos deuses -faco o primeiro e o segundo panteao e penso "que tranquilo" -morro pro sly 15 vezes -chegando no quarto panteao ytava muito facil ate achar o pure vessel -2 dias de dor e sofrimento -mato ele e vou ao quinto panteao -morro pro nosk alado 5 tentativas diferentes -10/10 nao recomendaria rdte jogo nem ao meu pior inimigo, acabou com minha vida
Vejo Lucas, vejo sim... Interessante.
화나고 짜증나는데 손이 계속 가는 게임. 진입장벽이 많이 높지만 익숙해지면 개꿀잼이고, 전체적인 게임 피지컬이 급상승하는 기적을 맛볼 수 있음
Muito bom jogo, metroidvania excelente!
