[hr][/hr] [b]Цена:[/b] 490 рублей. Необычный опыт, конечно. По поводу цены - думаю сойдет, но хотелось бы увидеть русский язык дабы погрузиться с головой. Многие решения выглядят немного странновато, но по моему так и должно быть. Постараюсь вернуться к игре когда будет время.

I tried but this one has far too many issues and frustrations to recommend. The biggest issue for me personally is that screenshake is used far too often, with no way to disable it. Along with the screenshake, the camera follows extremely closely to your movement, and when you land there's a terrible jerky camera animation. I could only play for an hour or so at a time before it would get too much for my vertigo. Anyone who is sensitive to camera motion or has motion sickness issues should NOT get this game, you will have a bad time. There are no sort of accessibility options to deal with this camera mess. There are a lot of interruptions while playing, most cutscenes are skippable if you have to repeat them due to a death in a boss but not all are. Each section of a cutscene has to be skipped individually, such as during the prince's reveal. During the Livia boss fight, there's a period where you can talk to the boss, and even though my language was set to English, the dialogue was in Portueguese and I couldn't tell what was being said. I can read French, but Portuguese is a bit too different for me to parse. After dealing with this boss several times, I wasn't going to reset and have to beat this frustrating thing again to see if maybe readable text will show up, so I just gave up. This does what a lot of modern pixel art games do and overwhelms you with color, lighting effects, and shaders on top of the game. It makes it hard to pick out what is in the background and what are platforms you can land on. It also makes it really difficult to watch and cause eye strain over time just trying to deal with the high brightness on everything and paradoxically the sheer amount of dark corners and barely visible terrain in a lot of areas. Finally, controllers are an issue. The controller can just stop responding completely in the menus, no idea why this happens. The game also does what a lot of modern console platformers do and decides to use the D pad to be shortcuts, like show one of the two maps and act as your healing flask. The stick is nowhere near as precise as a D-pad for movement, and just doesn't feel right when platforming.
