Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet

I really wanted to like this game but really can't. It's depressing, isolated and lonely. There can be artistic value in this and some games do this really well, but this game made me not want to play it. I don't wanna spend my gaming time playing games that suck the joy out of me - unless there is something irresistibly enticing about it. Which this game has nothing like that. It's just miserable and the gameplay is pretty bland to boot. If you like hostile, lonely environments with nothing to make up for it, this game is artistically doing a good job on this. But there was literally nothing here for me to make me want to play more. I kind of just wanted it to be over so I dipped out.

Absolutely fantastic short experience. The artstyle of this game is easily one of it's best aspects that still holds up even to his day, but the stellar exploration and gameplay itself adds even more to it.

Classic and Nostalgic, this little gem made me get through my post teenage years.

Great.

It's a good game to pass the time. very short game If you want to complete it 100%, it will take you at least 15 hours, or maybe I'm exaggerating. It took me 10 hours to finish the game

I don't usually like Metroidvania's. It only took me 14 years to get around to finishing this one. The games short, sweet, doesn't overstay it's welcome and presents a respectable amount of environmental puzzles.

While the multiplayer was not to my taste, as a Metroidvania fan I had a lovely time with the solo campaign. In a saturated market, it's nice to feel surprised by a few upgrades and area themes for a change. Free movement (e.g. swimming, in this case flight) is also something I don't see enough of.
