The Textorcist: The Story of Ray Bibbia

I type 160 wpm with 100% accuracy on almost any keyboard. Can't manage to get through the first actual level of this game. I will adjust key bindings for movement to see if it makes a difference, but as it stands I was looking forward to playing this and it [i]SUCKS![/i] What a stupid control scheme you guys have made, what a terrible way to take a great looking, great sounding game then make it near unplayable with the most bass-ackwards control scheme you could possibly think of. This isn't challenging, it's just built to be frustrating and that's stupid. No problem with my accuracy, but the stupid [i]literally[/i] unavoidable attacks that will often trigger in quick succession with no discernable pattern, all of it. You guys have made a great looking pile of crap. Oh, and my first time playing I got a bug where Ray ran into a pile of garbage and could not move left or right to move forward, instead just running forward without ceasing. But it looks nice and the soundtrack is great!

Got a credit roll about 3 hours in. As someone who gets ~140wpm on typeracer on a good day, I very much enjoyed a typing game that was actually challenging. I bought this game on a 90% off sale and do not regret it, but full price YMMV. I'm not sure if I'm interested enough to get the DLC though. What I especially liked: - I'm a sucker for pixel graphics - I'm a sucker for "dodge the shape," and this has some GREAT shapes in it - UI shows you both the word to focus on directly over the character (good for when you need to focus on dodging and want to incrementally work on a long word) as well as the longer phrase it's part of at the bottom of the screen (so when you have a breather you can look ahead, good for chaining small words together) What I did not like: - The game in between the boss fights is pretty milquetoast. - I found that when I lost in a boss fight, I often would rather close the game than go back through the early phases of it. - Some of the boss fights involve [spoiler]debuffs that do things that make it harder to read the text you're supposed to type, or jumble letters in a random order[/spoiler], and I did not care for those mechanics. - There's a "hold space to skip" but it doesn't skip enough -- there are several fights where you have to "hold space to skip" repeatedly to get back to your next attempt. - The font face has some letters that are hard to discern. I frequently misread "M" as "N" -- sure, it can be learned, but [i]woof[/i]. - There are numerous typos/errors in the dialogue. - When I started playing the game, I found the movement really awkward. But then I got used to it, so no matter, in the end. (I used left-shift + WASD for everything.)
