Queen of Seas 2

Trash

Хороший платформер для своих лет. История о том, что главному персонажу надо уговорить жителей провести фестиваль, но согласятся они только если пройдёшь уровень для них. У меня не каждый раз получалось пройти уровень с первого раза, плюсом все механики я нашёл только на 3 часу игры. Но в целом игра не сложная, подойдёт если ты хочешь напрячь олдскулы на графику старого типа и всплакнуть по платформерам. Подводные 7/10

The negative section looks a lot bigger but it's not too bad, I promise. This game is a cute and short little experience that's definitely worth its price tag. [h3]Positives[/h3] Visually, it's generally good looking. Despite its gameplay being (effectively) entirely underwater platforming, it somehow avoids feeling like complete poopoo. It is still inherently hindered by the sluggish water movement and it feels a bit weird at first, but you do get used to it fast and it ends up being enjoyable to control. [h3]Negatives[/h3] The most important issue that the game has, in my opinion, is that the Crab King suit is completely pointless. I initially played through the entire game with the Manta Ray suit with no intention to replay it with the other one, but I decided to give it a shot when I noticed you got an achievement for maxing your suit upgrades. When I tried that, I immediately noticed the hampered mobility, which is of course the inherent idea of that suit: a tradeoff of mobility for durability. These are both mechanics that affect your survivablility, in a direct way in the case of your HP, and indirectly in the case of your mobility. The big problem with choosing the Crab King suit is that that [b]HP only comes into play when you've already screwed up[/b], whereas mobility will affect everything you do. [b]Being faster[/b] makes, of course, your traversal better, and importantly it also [b]improves your ability to avoid being hit[/b]. So what this means is that when I was doing my playthrough with the "more HP" suit, I completely ignored the tankiness upgrades to be able to, first, get the double jump, and then the other mobility upgrades in order to improve my survibability. It certainly doesn't help that the health upgrades (mainly the last one) end up being very expensive, which means that if you're trying to get that upgrade in order to not die, you'll get some good practice in because you're grinding the levels for coins, which means you'll get better at the game, so you'll better utilize the mobility of the Manta Ray suit, so you might as well just have picked that one from the start and practiced with that one. Basically, Crab King sucks because just git gud Less importantly, there's a couple of areas in some of the levels that you just have to wait on. The most egregious example of this being the start of Caught by a shark. You MUST sit your ass down and wait for the jellyfish cycle before you're allowed to play. To end, just as a small nitpick, crab bubbles would probably benefit from being more obviously threatening, but you'll probably only get hit by that once before you notice that they damage you.
