The Messenger

why does racing have to suck in every game (One of the best indies i've played in a long time)

A charming indie game that is maybe one of the few games to actually make me laugh out loud. Combat is fun, bosses are fun, and platforming, its best asset, is fluid and engaging. At some point the game decides to switch to a backtracking metroidvania which, while still kind of interesting, feels deeply repetitive as you are tasked with going through previous areas rather than it being up to your own free will (as in traditional metroidvanias). Like to progress you have to instead go backwards, and it unfortunately makes the game feel like it's dragging out its playtime rather than actually adding more content. But the game is still fun enough to see it through. Wouldn't say I felt wowed overall and I can't say I was ever fully drawn in in the way that true fans of this game seem to be, but every part of it (writing, art, music, platforming) is a solid enough experience to be worth your money and your time.

The Messenger empieza como un juego lineal que a mitad de historia se transforma en un metroidvania. Tiene un control sencillo al estilo de los clásicos juegos retro y una banda sonora perfecta para cada Zona del mapa. Al igual que el juego la historia es bastante lineal pero consigue engancharte con un giro de guion inesperado. Sus personajes y diálogos son bastante entretenidos con un toque de humor inesperado. Pd: el 100% parece mucho mas complicado de lo que parece solo por un logro. 8.5/10

Eu consigo entender as pessoas que gostaram desse jogo, mas eu pessoalmente não curti, a gameplay pra mim se tornou muito repetitiva e é que joguei poucas horas do game. Ele tem um humor cartunesco bem legal, mas só isso não conseguiu fazer eu me sentir com vontade de jogar por mais tempo

店长再给我讲点故事吧 我什么都会做的(;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)

순수하게 매력이 부족함 하면 할수록 지루해지고 재미가 없음 나아가는 느낌이 없고 초반이 너무 별로임...

Yep

I thought this game would be mid, but it's actually really really good. The writing is decent, the levels and bosses are fun, the music is very good. Turns into rage game on the penultimate level. The [free] DLC seemed samey, but even more frustrating, maybe some other day.
