Solateria

tl;dr: Overall, it is a decent game, but it has zero originality. Past the halfway point, the bosses become tedious and uninteresting. Let’s start with the pros: - The game definitely has a vibe, and a pretty good one at that. At times it feels like a charming fairy tale; at others, it creates an atmosphere of bleakness and despair. The scenery and music complement the immersion quite well. - Solid exploration. Most of the time, exploring is generously rewarded. The player’s curiosity is constantly encouraged with currency, upgrade points, amulets, and so on. - I enjoyed most of the platforming sections. In some cases, when I did not have a particular platforming item, I had to perform a long, specific sequence of inputs to reach a reward, which felt great. Now for the downsides: - There is practically nothing unique about the game, and this is taken almost to the point of absurdity. I do not mind when certain elements, mechanics, or stylistic choices are inspired by another game. That is normal; it is how games evolve. But when developers borrow something, they usually add something of their own. What do we get here? Everything is copied from other games, with almost nothing original added. The very first skill, which sends two flames in opposite directions, as well as the donation box, comes from Blasphemous. The character Chasa is quite literally copied from Quirrel in Hollow Knight. They copied everything down to the smallest details: the same hat, the same mannerisms, the blade, and even the ability to teleport and attack afterward. The lore is shamelessly almost entirely copied from Nine Sols; they did not even hesitate to include an almost identical laboratory (with lore tablets, of course, just like in Nine Sols). And, of course, they copied the worst aspect of the Dark Souls games: every boss has a million fučķing delayed attacks. - I played on the highest difficulty, and for the most part, the game felt easy. There was still some challenge, but all the enemies and bosses were relatively manageable. Past the halfway point, however, the game suddenly becomes unjustifiably and almost impossibly difficult. Nearly every one of the five warriors can take away half of my health bar with a single attack, despite the fact that I am almost at the maximum level. They have loads of instantaneous attacks. The boss Baran is particularly bad: she has three attacks that begin from exactly the same stance, but two of them come out instantly and the last one is delayed. Even the slightest mistiming is punished with completely disproportionate brutality. After Verita and several attempts at Baran, I completely lost interest in the boss fights and switched the difficulty to easy. To sum up: the game has a cool vibe and is atmospheric and interesting, but its complete lack of originality makes it difficult to rate highly. My score is 5.5 out of 10.

I play a lot of Metroidvanias, and this at the moment is my Metroidvania GOTY for 2026 thus far. This obviously take some inspiration from Hollow Knight (because almost what game in the genre doesn't at this point?). Beautiful world design and graphics, snappy movement and parrying, and a nice array of utility gated progression that resulted in me having around 30 hours of gameplay. If I had to nitpick, some of the map areas feel a bit too large and don't offer enough interactivity to make it worthwhile. Some of the bosses seriously kicked my ass on standard difficulty. I don't know how these guys beat it on the highest difficulty. Anyway, try this game out, it is certainly worth your time!

Фантастична гра. Однозначно вартує витрачених коштів. Бос-файти не надто важкі, проте цікаві. Дуже приємний візуал та й сама історія.

所有地图又大又空而且指引也几乎没有，经常跑半天走到死路，途中的小怪也很稀少生怕玩家打钱容易，最逆天的是一些小道具给你设计一段恶心的要死的跳跳乐，这个游戏本身跳跳乐没啥难度，难在人物性能一坨，跳跃技能全是组合键想跳一大段距离相当难按，手速反应都得非常快才能过关，战斗和弹反手感不算差，但是技能实在太少太少了一共就4个还有俩是弹反技能玩下来就感觉相当无聊，而且蓝又少用不了几次技能大部分时候都是在平a，再说BGM，真的没一张图的BGM给我印象深刻的都很平静，甚至BOSS的BGM都有点平平无奇，美术中规中矩吧，BOSS战可能是唯一优点了，难度偏高，变招多，打起来还算爽，但缺点实在太多，慎重入手

没有背景暂停，捡起道具读文的过程会被打，esc看地图会被打。

간만에 재밌게 즐겼네요 패링손맛이 좋긴한데 몇몇공격은 모션보다 피격판정이 먼저들어와서 칼패링하는 사람은 읭? 하는 공격들이 존재함 그것외엔 불쾌감은 느낀적이 없네요 적당한 난이도의 플랫폼구간 간혹 이동기 극한으로 필요한구간이 있긴한데 그다지 어렵진 않음 길찾기도 어렵진않고 숨겨진아이템 미니맵표기해주는건 정말좋네요

极致的快慢刀，你麻痹好不容易打死了结果告诉我说是一阶段，何意味啊
