Pih

абсолютный моральный распад

This game cured my cancer, fed my family for eternity, and granted me omnipotence. Knowing all that is, I can say whole-heartedly that this game is the pinnacle of videogames. nothing ever released in past, present, or future. will every measure up to this masterpiece, except for Pih 2.

Life Changing Game

I like supporting goofy indie projects as much as anyone else that's entirely uninterested in paying AAA prices for incredibly mediocre experiences, but I think I have to draw a line when the best thing I can say about it is "At least it's cheap"

i think diogenes would have a copy of this game in his barrel if he was alive today

My thoughts on Pih, season by season: Season 1: Subtly eases you into the basic mechanics like any game should, allows you room to explore some big levels and looks good while doing it. The later stages specifically teach you to carefully check your corners for those pesky hogs while keeping your navigational wits about you in a big maze, a demanding skill necessary for many subsequent levels. A compelling batch of levels that will 100% leave you wanting more. Season 2: Pih at its absolute worst. While S2 does contain the iconic "dawg what the hell are you playing" level, it is wrought with infuriating platforming sequences, nauseating cylindrical ice caves and elevators that go too fast for you to properly navigate on and off of them. Level 9 is the worst level in the entire game, requiring you to sluggishly trial and error your way up a series of ramps while trading shots with hogs that are outside your line of fire. Season 2 will burn you, hard. But whether you skip it or power through, you are greatly rewarded by what is beyond such a low point. Season 3: A sigh of relief coming from S2 and quite possibly Pih's swansong. Incredibly strong, varied level design and ethereal art direction making heavy use of vibrant colours contrasted by brutalist and imposing monolithic sculptures. The amount of destructible objects is tenfold and makes the gameplay, whilst similar to previous levels, more active & chaotic in nature. The left-field introduction of driving brings further variety to an already complete package and is really the cherry on top of the shining highlight of this game. Season 4: A high-concept finale that flips Pih so hard on its head, that at times it feels like a one-off experimental DLC pack and nothing like the first 3 seasons. Season 4 completely Pih-vots to a CQC/movement oriented experience wherein you are stripped of your iconic marble launcher (for reasons that will become clear) and nosedive deep into the avant-garde. It is best experienced first hand rather than explained; do not expect any of the highs of Season 3, but it does not see any of the lows from Season 2 either! Overall: There is little to summarise, but I am not the same person I was before I played Pih. That alone should draw you into this one-of-a-kind experience.
