I honestly had high hopes for Blue Fire but I left feeling underwhelmed and a little disappointed.
Wether it’s the soundtrack or the visuals, Blue Fire just feels like it needs to be compared to a 3D Hollow Knight. However the visuals and soundtrack is about where I would stop the comparison.
Unfortunately the combat is an uninteresting, forgettable joke. I often found areas to have a minor smattering of enemy’s that do barley any damage or inconvenience you in the slightest. This also applies to bosses that poses little a threat when you always have max health charges. In my entire play through I didn’t die once.
I should also mention the economy, or lack there of. At any given point in time I was filthy rich (unlike reality) and whenever I found a new vendor I would immediately buy out all of their stock. Not only this it also applies to health recharges as whenever I would use 1 or 2 it wouldn’t be long before I was maxed out again.
Blue Fire does have a relatively fun movement system, as your progress additional jumps and dashes become apart of your traversal set which is nice. But it feels quiet essential as there are many points in which this game requires you to backtrack or re explore an entire area again as it now has collectables required to progress.
Personally I find for every nice thing I can say about Blue Fire I could also point out the many flaws regarding the same thing. Blue Fire feels like it wants to be more but just requires that extra polish.
