The Last Case of Benedict Fox Definitive Edition

Cthulhoid Metroidvania? YES, PLEASE! For me: 4.5/5

Bueno, recuerdo el trailer cuando lo vi y me quedé alucinado con la estética y todo lo que ofrecía, la verdad es que no esta mal, pero tampoco es nada del otro mundo, una historia que tampoco es que mate mucho y el ritmo es algo lento aun siendo un juego MUY corto que me ha durado poco mas de 5 horas... le doy un 6/10, para pasar una tarde sin mas.

[h1]A Case of Style Over Substance [/h1] While the premise is interesting and the art style is quite nice, Benedict Fox falls short of the mark. Most of the areas blend together being mostly purple/blue/gray and having the same enemies/"spooky tree" texture in the background. The combat was pretty frustrating: enemies have a telegraph that they are doing an attack that you can parry but depending on how quick you press the block button, the enemy decides to actually execute their attack whenever they want. Boss attacks are telegraphed pretty poorly resulting in a very annoying combat experience. Additionally, I'm not sure if it was the timing on the animation or just the feel of the combat itself but the feeling of attacking is very underwhelming. It gets marginally better after obtaining some upgrades but only barely so. The voice acting is pretty piss-poor. Some of the characters sound like they were rushing their lines to fit the animation so expect a lot of rushed/stilted dialogue. Finally, the performance of the game is pretty terrible. I'm not sure if it's all the lighting effects or if the game is just poorly optimized but after 2 hours of playing, I was getting frame drops from 120+ fps down to the 30 fps range and after 4 hours, it was going under half of that. I plan to finish it because I appear to be about halfway through the game but I'm not very optimistic that things will drastically improve.. Honestly, it's an interesting game but unless you've already played most of the better metroidvanias out there or you just really like the "lovecraftian" [i](i use that extremely loosely)[/i] flavor, [b]I would pass or buy under $5.[/b]

Muy chulo me gusta mucho. Quiero mas

Some great ideas, terribly implemented. Cool aesthetics and lore, terrible gameplay. Buggy, unclear, unfinished.

Une très bonne surprise, un scénario extrémement solide avec des personnages attachant et un gameplay plus que correct. L'ambiance Lovecraftienne est aussi très réussie. Les combats deviennent trop faciles au bout d'un moment, c'est le seul point noir, mais je ne considère pas les combats comme étant l'aspect principal du jeu. J'espère qu'ils feront une suite.

战斗手感烂的一笔，这纯解密的类银，甚至连个像样的boss战都没多少

Pure metroidvania adventure fun.

This was a lot of fun, and essentially a metroidvania that includes story and physical puzzles. For the most part I got through the puzzles myself, with about 3 cases where I had to look something up. But it really was an incredibly good time, and I liked the story and different characters. My playtime doesn't really reflect the actual play time, it's more like the 12 - 20 hours. I ended up leaving the game open on pause a bit while waiting to for a save point.

nice gameplay!! nice storyline!!! and awesome graphics!!!
