Windblown

[h3]This needs a LOT more time to cook[/h3] ⠀ After having a blast with [i][b]Dead Cells[/b][/i], I came here thinking I was in for a treat, but I was left feeling a little disappointed. It's a beautiful game, but there are too many things here that feel unpolished and lacking imagination. I realise this is early access, but it's coming up on 2 years, and I would expect there to have been a lot more progress by this point. The [i][b]story[/b][/i] was uninteresting, but that's fine, as I don't play these types of games for that. However, what frustrated me was the amount of time I have to keep clicking through dialogue when I want to speak to a vendor. I think it would be better to keep the story in the background for players who enjoy the lore and want to engage with it. The [i][b]multiplayer[/b][/i] is a total flop. Over an entire weekend I was only able to find one party to join. That experience was a mixed bag. Some of the boss fights were a visual cluster of spells, effects and telegraphs, which caused me to get hit multiple times because I was losing track of the enemies' attacks. The [i][b]combat[/b][/i] and its combo system is a nice touch but it doesn't really come together in a way that grabs me. When playing their last game, I was quickly addicted. Even when I quit in anger or frustration and told myself I was done, I would get the itch to come back 30 minutes later and try again. With Windblown I'm not getting that itch, and most of my sessions were me forcing myself to keep going so I could give this game a fair shot. After 10 hours I think I'm done. At least for now. ⠀

To start, up until the Break the Path update this game has been one of my fav roguelikes. But the new update is just bad in every way. One of the best feelings before the update was after clearing a room you would just hold space and move at the speed of light to the next room to kill some dudes. But with the new update traversing the map is just more confusing and gets in the way of enjoying the game. When you would get lost or confused as to where the next connector was to progress to the next combat area you could generally just try to find a path that was up and to the right to continue. Now I am constantly running into dead ends then having to pull up the map to find the real location I need to go to progress the game. Reading the map is a pain as if you don't fully move around a central node then you can't easily see that you missed a branch 3 junctions ago that you need to explore. Also the game now run 5 times worse than it used to. I don't really know why but if I was to guess it's the fact that the map is now 3 times bigger, so if you are in the bottom right of the map, you are rendering every new branch that is behind you. My fps says I am getting 200 average fps but my 1% lows are constantly at 15fps which just makes the whole game feel like sludge. It could also just be the new update just not getting a good quality pass as I was getting 15fps looking at the wall of the experiments on the Factory level. Overall this is an amazing game but there are some big issues currently that stops me and my friends from enjoying the game. Please fix <3

这玩意就是坨屎，懂吗？ 甚至还没有死亡细胞好玩，最大的卖点联机也是一坨，除了打几下换武器还能干什么？跳也不能跳 Mt你有空在这期待你所谓的新作大卖还不如把EE请回来让他们继续更新死亡细胞，哪怕DLC卖贵点也没事，反正我在这里祝风中行者早日差评如潮

[h3]Віднесені протягом[/h3] [i]Важко визначитись чи рекомендую я її чи ні, бо в соло проходженні воно все відчувається якось дуже одноманітно. Тай не відчувається оте просування і покращення персонажа. Мені не сильно зайшов візуальний вигляд, і оця 3D графіка з яскравими кольорами плюси не приносить. Та все ж гра розкривається але не одразу.[/i] 💣[b]Геймплей:[/b] - Рогалик / Процедурна генерація рівнів. - Одноманітність геймплею. Чогось мені тут явно не вистачає. - Гра розкривається краще десь після 4рьох годин. - Висока складність. Перша катка здається супер легкою, але то лиш омана. Вороги б'ють боляче і не жаліють ні каплі. - Короткі таймінги. - Кооператив на 3 людини, яким я на жаль ні разу не скористався. Не було з ким пограти 🥲. - Деш працює безвідкатно, але всерівно таймінги коли можна "хапанути" присутні. Тож краще робити все в міру. - Рандом тут сильно вирішує. Від білду залежить десь 60% того як легко проходитиме катка. - Луки / Арбалети / Кунаї і тд набагато краща зброя, бо дистанційно вирішує майже всі проблеми. - Після кожного забігу є прокачка персонажа та предметів які випадатимуть. Все впринципі як в Дед Селз (це один розробник). - Квести проходяться довго і не так просто. В мене був квест де потрібно було знайти 5 документів, і шукав я їх з 10 забігів якщо не більше. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3666240678 💣[b]Візуал:[/b] - Не фанат такого візуалу (в Мунлайтер 2 щось сильно схоже). - Багато анімацій від яких втомлюються очі. - В біомі з динозаврами/драконами вороги візуально виглядають як бомбарділо-крокоділо 😅. - Персонажі це тільки візуальний вигляд, та й поміняти його можна в любий час (на старті тут 4 скіни, далі як розумію відкривається більше). 💣[b]Звук та Музика:[/b] - Дуже хороша техно музика. Постійно по наростаючій наче нагнітає все що навкого. - Шикарнюща заставка на початку гри. Не можу не поділитись нею: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPJER9uu8yE https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3665018541 💣[b]Ситуативне:[/b] - Ремоут в грі відсутній повністю, тож щоб пограти з другом потрібно декілька копій. - Дуже зручна гра на геймпаді (вібрація тактильна). - Українська мова відсутня. - Ранній доступ - одне з найгірших рішень. Бо зараз я пройшов весь контент в грі, а коли виде онова, навряд я вже повернусь до неї. Все з часом забувається.

别的我都不管，游戏里面的缺失字体更新那么多次还没解决！！！ 你以为玩家看着一个个□很好玩么！ 重点是切到繁体发现一个个都没问题，怎么简体中文低人一等？ 差评拿好

Been playing for a little bit but when coming to write this review I asked myself: "Am I having fun?" And the answer is: sometimes maybe. I am dying pretty frequently though I am making slower steady progress, but when it comes down to each run I find myself feeling like I am playing the same run over and over again. I have unlocked new stuff but none of it is really that flavourful or exciting. I feel like roguelikes work best when you feel like you have 10 different combos bouncing off each other to get the cool build that you've patched together on a run. In this game I am just kind of like: "Yeah I guess this weapon is good with some bleed or echo, I guess I will get 2-3 blood/echo upgrades" and that's kind of it. I almost thing it's limited it by max slots of upgrades because it relies on you using the % bonus boons as the infinite scaling. But they are immensely boring and only increase health or damage or money. So even though I feel very middling of this game, the fact that there is so many roguelikes that have the sauce at the moment at cheap prices, it's hard for me to suggest to someone "this is the roguelike you should put some hours into" The game just always leaves me feeling whelmed, maybe you have to unlock more stuff to find it, but nearly 10 hours into the game I've never had a "♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that run" moment yet.

你们现在知道放弃死亡细胞是多么错误的决定了吗？是玩家喜欢你们的游戏，而不是你们强迫玩家喜欢你们，多好的死亡细胞被你们腰斩了，现在你们大力宣传研发的风行已经变成这样了，你们难道不后悔吗？？？？？

Do not install this game on hdd.. It doesn't say it but the game has frame drops when you do it that way.
