REPLACED

Nah, this is not. The combat is so repetitive, and the hacking gimmick is obnoxious. And sometimes the platforming makes no sense... it seems like you're going to make the jump or you'll be able to hook unto the walls, but if you're off by not even an inch, you're dead. And respawning sometimes just crashes the game and I have to close the game fully to be able to play it again. The story is nothing to write home about, I mean, there's a narrative, but essential lore, is places around as notes, which you will miss some of them during your playthrough, like what ?

Replaced is a truly atmospheric cinematic platformer that I can recommend. Here are the reasons why, broken down into pros and cons: Pros + Truly impressive graphics and art style. + Excellent lighting system that strongly supports the atmosphere. + Clever combat for a 2.5D game, taking clear inspiration from the Batman Arkham series. + Great camera work that tracks dynamic movement well, subtly sways at times, and adjusts the distance to the player to add energy. + Overall fantastic Blade Runner/Cyberpunk atmosphere. + Solid sound design. + Great soundtrack. + Good playtime length for this genre—it didn't need to be any longer. + The strong art style extends to the menus; everything feels cohesive. Cons - Although the game generally runs well, there are bugs: I fell through the floor and died once, had an issue where only the D-pad worked while all other buttons stopped responding, experienced the camera aiming way too far up once, plus a couple of other minor glitches. - Not a negative for me personally, but worth noting: due to its genre, the game is rather slow-paced and involves a lot of walking back and forth. - While the sound design and music are good, there are moments where both could have pushed things just a step further.

全体的に惜しい作品 グラフィック・世界観◎(部分的にだが)ドットの3Dが珍しくていい味出してた。 ストーリーは刺さらなかったが、刺さる人には刺さる…かも？ 戦闘シーンの操作感が難しかった。

I am having a great deal of fun with this game.

I love the general vibe of this game. They nailed the retrofuturistic 80s feeling. The scenes are well designed, art is cool, and the 2.5D setup is great. I especially like the way the camera 'effect' works, moving along with you. The music is also great, it goes great with the aesthetic. Combat feels a little clunky at times but there are definitely some interesting mechanisms. It is not as irritating as I thought it would be to have a gun that you can't actually fire very often. Platforming is not as precise as I would like but this is coming off a bunch of Silksong so maybe that has me biased. Nothing innovative there but nothing terrible. The world created here was really cool and the basic idea behind the plot is awesome, but the writing was unpolished. It kind of feels like someone spent a ton of time on world-building, writing the history and giving hints through all the things you can scan, but when it came time to write the actual plot and lines they rushed through that part and that was a bit of a letdown because there's so much promise in it. It's a great story but it could have been told better. Anyway overall, if this company made another game I would buy it, so that's a thumbs up from me.

Inicialmente eu me interessei pela arte e conceito cyber-retrofuturista, uma expectativa que se concretizou além do que eu imaginava. A gameplay é envolvente e combate fluido, o que me prendeu ainda mais no final. Os personagens são simplesmente impecáveis, com cada um tendo uma personalidade bem definida, movimentação corporal humana que pareciam pessoas reais em cena. Fico triste que não tenha durado mais, mas ao mesmo tempo fico feliz que a história tenha fechado perfeitamente sem se deixar arrastar de mais. Com certeza recomendo que se deixem levar e experimentem REPLACED. Esse jogo é mais uma das evidências de como um jogo consegue ter tanta vida quando feito com amor, e só vejo isso com frequência em jogos Indies.

great history and gameplay mechanics i hope this estudio make more games
