Spre deosebire de alte jocuri de gen, unde nivelurile se schimbă constant, Never Give Up te aruncă într-un ciclu vicios de repetiție evolutivă. Jucătorii subliniază adesea că sentimentul de „deja-vu” devine rapid o teroare pură: termini un segment de nivel, crezi că ai scăpat, dar jocul te pune să-l repeți imediat, adăugând rachete ghidate, lasere și ferăstraie exact în locurile unde tocmai te simțeai în siguranță. This progresie organică a dificultății transformă o experiență care pare simplă la început într-un puzzle de coordonare a mâinii-ochi aproape imposibil. Ceea ce face ca experiența să fie unică este personalitatea sa debordantă. Comunitatea laudă vocea lui Arin Hanson, care reușește să facă din fiecare moarte brutală un moment de umor negru, reducând tensiunea chiar și atunci când ești la a 100-a încercare. Însă piesa centrală a jocului rămâne infamul buton de „Give Up”. Este o provocare directă la adresa orgoliului tău: Steam-ul este plin de mărturii ale jucătorilor care au refuzat să-l apese ore întregi, doar pentru a-și demonstra că sunt mai puternic decât un cod de programare, în timp ce al recunosc, cu un amestec de vinovăție și ușurare, că l-au folosit doar pentru a-și salva sănătatea mentală. În concluzie, Never Give Up este o experiență perfectă închegată pentru cei care care caută precizie chirurgicală în control și o satisfacție imensă la finalul capitolului. Nu este doar un joc despre sărituri; este un joc despre refuzul de a accepta înfrângerea într-o lume care vă strigă constant să renunți. Dacă ai curajul să-l încerci, pregătește-te pentru un roller-coaster emoțional unde linia dintre „încă o încercare” și „aruncatul monitorului pe geam” este incredibil de subțire. ---{ 7 / 10 }--- ☐ 1 ☐ 2 ☐ 3 ☐ 4 ☐ 5 ☐ 6 ☑ 7 ☐ 8 ☐ 9 ☐ 10
Egoraptor honestly knocks down 4 points from an otherwise 6/10 game.
Fantastic 2D precision platformer in the vein of Super Meat Boy. Difficult but rewarding; has a surprising amount of content and replay value for completionists.
Habia jugado la version flash, que la verdad los prefiero mas que aqui De no ser por lo mencionado anteriormente este juego practicamente es muy desconocido, dificil recomendarlo si no tienes algun historial con el Quiza te lo recomiendo en oferta, pero como digo, prefiero las versiones Flash (Reseña de gusto----------Tal vez te guste el juego)
What an incredible game!! It's similar enough to SMB to be great, and different enough to be interesting. I love the mechanic of making the same room more challenging every pass-through. I love the dialogue, the humour, and the gameplay.
it gets hard it becomes unfair but to me i not get mad because that's part of this game so why get mad only thing that get me mad is my WRIST HURTING! AND IT HURTS AND I CAN HARDLY MOVE IT WHEN I'M TYPING THIS i'm hoping i can still jerk off with my right hand HEY! WHY YOU READING THIS!!? PART YOU PERV BACK IN THE HARDEST DEATH DUNGEON WITH YOU! we sure need that a secret most evil level ever on this game 999.99% IMPOSSIBLE make the most calm and collected ones RAGE! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! FUN AND CHALLENGING GAME 10/10 100% ITS OVER 9000!!!!! IT MAKES ME WANNA FIRE MY LAZER!
Lamentablemente, el handicap más grande de este juego es que anda como el orto (mal rendimiento), lo cual dificulta mucho la precisión en los saltos, algo fundamental en este género.
It's a very hard game, main thing is NEVER GIVE UP.
Disclaimer: I wrote this review after completing 100% of all achievements of this game. (Game time: ~92 hours) [h1] Never Give Up![/h1] [h2] The best hardcore platformer with any lore that I played so far [/h2] Never Give Up is a hardcore platformer game and the spiritual successor to Tasselfoot's own flash games Give Up and Give Up 2 (which also feature blue and in which he was not able to depend on the kindness of checkpoints yet). It has decent, but not overwhelmingly different music (the music is mostly written for the environments Blue finds himself in (at least 2 different tracks for each world) as well as one track for boss fights) I have to deduce some points for the FPS which tend to vary on my RTX Laptop Ti GPU, even when I set my laptop into performance mode (this way it is far more endurable). I would have liked to see more graphic options in the game itself - however, it must be considered that according to the intro credits of Never Give Up, it is a game that was ported from Nintendo Switch to PC. I personally recommend to play the game without shaders (those will make the graphics overall appear in a bit of a convexesque way, but it is also a question of personal taste - whether you keep them activated or not is up to you) The Level Sets can get repetitive at times, but that is part of the challenge and the developers amongst Tasselfoot made sure to put a twist in every now and then to keep you engaged. [b] IMPORTANT WARNING: [/b] When I say hardcore platformer, I [b] definitely mean [/b] hardcore platformer! In my first run (on Easy Mode) it took me over like 4000 deaths alone to just make Blue overcome the final boss of the game! This game tests your will and resilience. If you are completely new to hardcore games, do not expect to go from the first world to the final boss, beat the final boss, get the "Never Give Up" achievement and call it a day!
Fast paced tough platformer in the vein of Super Meatboy, but focuses on evolving levels that chaange and become mroe difficult the more times you complete them. Plenty of collectables, cosmetics and leaderboards to compete for. Really enjoyed the voice lines that commentate your deaths, there was more variety than I was expecting and it didn't become old or wear thin even after the first world. Unfortunately suffered FPS issues even on a 5070ti which is insane, even after lowering the reoslution to 720p. If you are fine with that, then you'll have a blast with this game.
