Gave this a try since my game aggregator labeled it as a puzzle game, but it was one of the most generic games I've touched. It feels like a somewhat polished student project. technically fine, but doesn't do anything that well. It had some decent visual style, but only slightly. Everything else about it is perfectly generic and it's like you filtered out all of the individual things that makes something like Zelda (or any of its other influences that it states on its product description) great, and put in its placeholders while the finer details were being figured out. I played past the point i could stomach it and it felt like there was a ton of game left, I just decided to cut it off. Really nothing about it is egregiously bad, just not inspired.

This game is rough and a bit empty, but I still had a good time with it while it lasted. I wouldn't have even known what it was or that it existed if it wasn't for Limited Run Games putting out a physical copy so I'm thankful for that. Ultimately, I will say the game is mostly forgettable and I don't foresee a second playthrough in my future.

A bunch of slapping around with a shield and "fighting" the big bad, all because the protag was lazy.

Aventurilla que recuerda mucho a los juegos de plataformas en 3D de hace muchos años. Comparte sus mismas virtudes, como un buen salto, detallitos por doquier, una historia simplona para tirar para adelante.... Pero también sus defectos, como pocos tipos de enemigos, demasiadas cosas en pantalla flotando para recoger, y un combate mediocre. Si te gustaban los juegos así, o quieres introducírselos a alguien mas pequeño pero teniendo buenos gráficos, recomendado.

I really couldn't recommend Effie. The world seems mostly empty and uninspired, the writing is... bad. Go here, collect McGuffin, kill witch, repeat. The boss fights are uninspiring and repetitive, at least from what I've played, and the combat is worse. The combat is just mash light/heavy until all enemies are dead, but I guess you can throw in one other, objectively inferior bonus move if you feel like it. The surfing mechanic shown in trailers was the main draw for me, but it's disabled everywhere except the overworld, which is empty save for sparse time trials and small unrewarding outposts. The narrator speaking over all actions gets old really fast as well. Every chest, and nearly every collectible is paired with ONE voiceline. Said voiceline also does not make sense for the context of the action. Lots of stuff in the game is reused just as much as the voicelines too, and the game just feels unpolished overall.
