Hylics 2

You know a game is good when it's named Hylics 2

a weird, psychadelic-rock turn-based RPG adventure made entirely with claymation. fun battles, groovy soundtrack, and absolutely killer visual vibe. everyone should play hylics 2. that's it, that's the review.

Hylics 2 es un RPG por turnos donde el punto fuerte del juego es su arte distintivo e incluso, para algunos, "perturbador". Como RPG, es bastante entretenido, con menú de equipo, objetos, etc. Si bien ocupé una traducción al español (no oficial), esta estaba en español latino neutro y bastante bien lograda. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3024726882 Es un juego cortito que me recuerda mucho a EarthBound, aunque sin una historia tan profunda e incluso algo confusa. Lo recomiendo.

This game is unlike anything I've ever played before. I don't think there's a way to describe just how incredible the art direction in this game is, you just have to play it. It's a hypnotic experience traversing the map, learning enemies' patterns while they tauntingly dance in front of you, and seeing some of the weirdest ♥♥♥♥ you'll ever see brought to life through claymation. There are so many moving parts when it comes to how Mason Lindroth's art is incorporated into the game, but there was almost never a moment where it didn't feel cohesive and intentional. I only say "almost" there because there were a couple times where depth perception was an issue in overworld platforming, but that could be a skill issue on my part. It's also hard to complain about spending extra time in the overworld when Chuck Salamone's beautiful, psychedelic soundtrack is soothing your ears. The music really elevates the already stellar art direction to a level I didn't think was possible before playing this game. I truly believe that there will never be another game like Hylics. There will be games that are just as good, just as creative, just as engaging, but will never capture the same feeling. I could argue for years about how video games are an art form, but if I wanted to prove that point to you beyond a shadow of a doubt, I'd just sit you down and make you play even an hour of Hylics or Hylics 2. TLDR; good game i liked it. play it.

12/10 на кончиках пальцев, первая часть была шедевром, а вторая шедевр в квадрате, в основном изменения затронули техническую сторону и теперь в игре есть нормальное разрешение, интуитивный интерфейс с настройками и некоторые другие улучшения. Еще немного раскрыли лор вселенной и это мега интересно читать, но сильнейшая сторона проекта это конечно количество контента для созерцания глазками и музыкальная составляющая, это просто мясище 100/10 всем играть и впитывать такой высококультурный интеллектуальный контент на это можно смотреть вечно, величайшая игра

Si Hylics 1 te llamó la atencion por lo diferente que es, Hylics 2 te encantará. Esta entrega mejora todo lo que su antepasado dejó, a tal punto de ser otro juego totalmente diferente. Arte llamativo pero muy extraño, animaciones mas lindas, un combate mas desarrollado, una dificultad muy buena, un mapa que, aunque es pequeño, es interesante explorarlo y hasta su soundtrack da ganas de escucharlo... alguna que otra canción. Si buscas un RPG de máximo 20 hrs, interesante, diferente y con más de una sola jugabilidad, Hylics 2 es tu juego.

Hylics 2 continues the psychedelic surrealist presentation of its predecessor, which of course would be expected in how much of its identity comes from that. As a game, what you're getting here past the VERY stylish presentation is a fairly solid turn-based RPG with some interesting mechanics in the spells. Lots of heavy focus around status ailments, both in terms of ones you cast upon the distorted monsters of the world and ones your party may become afflicted with, which is not always a bad thing. The overworld is pretty cozy to maneuver, though I found myself getting lost a number of times due to to the scale of the larger world map, but also because of the unconventional design of the smaller maps. If you can get past that though, this is overall a pretty solid experience. Definitely an upgrade over its RPG Maker-made predecessor, which in itself was already a bit of a stylistic flash in the pan even amongst its other abstract contemporaries. (OFF, Space Funeral, Ib, Yume Nikki, etc) Give it a shot if you're invested enough in those trippy elements.
