Overgrowth is a game that is completely built on a unique combat system.
The first thing I want to do is a small comparison with Lugaru, and the only thing I can say is "progress", the author has incredibly progressed since its time, and brought his idea from a crooked game with poor balance, to a beautiful game with pleasant controls.
So far I've only completed the main campaign, so I'll judge only by it, but I plan to at least look at all the others if I don't.
First of all, it's the graphics, I rarely pay attention to them, and due to the characteristics of my previous laptop, I rarely played games with good graphics, but I liked it here, for 2017 the game looks pretty nice.
The worst part of the game is the story, it's not exactly terrible, but it's a bit lacking compared to other parts of the game.
And finally, the gameplay, it's really cool, the parkour is pretty simple but interesting, the levels with it weren't bad, and the combat system in the game is simply wonderful, it seemed to me that it was simplified compared to the previous game, but this made it a million times better, the use of weapons is clearer, the larger number of enemies and the ragdoll physics make the battles exciting, and if we go back to Lugaru again, then unlike it, I never got angry in this game, because I understood that every death was entirely my fault.
So, the developer has made incredible progress in 12 years, and brought his idea to a very good state, it fully deserves a 7.5/10.
P.S. I beat the Lugaru story and didn't die there once, and I was satisfied, so if you're not a fan of old games like me and just want to know the plot, it's better to play it here than in the original.
