Rubinite

Rubinite has my highest recommendation for being brave enough to eliminate everything but the bosses in a sometimes charming and frequently horrifying Bloodborne-esque bloodbath of an action RPG. The "focus" mechanic where you charge up a devastating slash by holding a trigger while targeting an enemy (or perfectly dodging enemy attacks while you glare at them) is both a fresh, exciting way to dish out damage and a dopamine rush every time it lands, all the way up to the final boss. Special shoutout to pixel art that belongs in a museum and some awe-inspiring music (especially the credits song)

Rubinite is by far the best new game I've played this year. The combat is tight and satisfying while giving a good challenge which never felt insurmountable, The narrative is interesting enough to keep me engaged and particularly the narrative decision leading into the second half of the game was both unexpected and honestly incredible. While this is going to sound incredibly unspecific due to me not wanting to spoil it, the execution of the second half of the narrative is something you would only see in an indie game, and while I can see the mechanical changes making some people upset, I think it was the correct decision as the second half of the game made for some of the most fun combat I've experienced in a while. Also the music and sound design was great and really felt like you were fighting these monsters that were made of flesh and blood. If anyone is afraid of a difficulty spike going into the second half of the game, you get two cheat death talismans which make it significantly easier. I did the entire second half with one cheat death talisman and thought the difficulty was honestly perfect at that point. So I would recommend Rubinite to anyone who wants a fun boss-gauntlet style game.

I wasn't expecting this game to be such a beautiful masterpiece. Every fight was a unique and fun challenge. The story telling was also CRAZY, especially in the second half of the game. I'm so glad I got to experience the story of Rubinite.

지렁이 텐련 패턴 겹치는거 빼면 패턴도 맛있고 액션 좋고 수작입니다. 2회차 진행중인데 아직까진 자체 하드모드 빼곤 스토리에 변곡이 크진 않네요.

They still make good video games

Loved the game, Great Combat and amazing Artstyle. [spoiler] The mid-game twist feels a bit cheap, but makes absolutely sense story-wise, and the battles and story overall still make up for it. [/spoiler]

好玩又有挑戰性的遊戲。大部分的Boss初期見到時會有怎麼能打贏的想法，但打多了會找到較穩定的方法打 二周目雖然要求無傷，但由於本身對王已有熟悉、有更多護符且露比攻擊力也大幅提升，所以卡關時間反而沒一周目多 (尾王除外) 故事有點黑暗風，呈現方式也很棒。只是我有些片段中的人物仍搞不太懂是誰 二周目雖然不少劇情跟一周目重複，但也有新劇情，所以過場不致於沉悶 結局有點欠缺交代--尤其是女巫還是米拉 動畫呈現好出色，露比的小動作(喝湯、多拿一個棉花糖、遞粉筆、站在木箱)、還有跟米拉的互動都非常可愛！ 魂系遊戲通常敵人體型即使是人型也比主角高一截，而這作巧妙地用了露比身高矮來做到這一點 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (對尾王的小抱怨) 女巫第一階設計有趣，但之後的階段就只有煩躁，離開了黑火範圍還是燒傷死 死了又要由第一階開始打...在無傷前提下幾乎完全沒有甚麼後面階段的機會
