it’s so fuckin good
banger music, banger art, fun story/characters and super satisfying combat

it’s oozing with style and has enough accessibility features so that even people bad at rhythm games can enjoy it

please play it

lol this update blows
microsoft pulled the plug on funding so what was clearly meant to be a full season got butchered and sold in the store to cash out

the new map and other stuff is fun and all but yeah this game’s done for

shame that this had to happen right as they were making it good. oh well

starts off super strong, the hammer is really fun to use and the levels are still great
the grapple movement puzzles are a bit easy but overall more fun than previous movement puzzles

unfortunately the enemies are even worse than in tag1, they're all just reskins of existing enemies with lame/annoying mechanics, the final boss fight is astoundingly terrible and unfun and the story just kind of ends

the optional levels in the escalation encounters are a cool idea but they kind of peak with the first one? the 2nd and 3rd are for some reason way easier and dont feel anywhere near as rewarding to beat

idk, wasnt the biggest fan even if i wish i could take the hammer to the main game/tag1 because it's everything i wish the crucible was lol

pretty solid expansion, the new levels are great, they look fantastic and have some really fun encounters

bit light on new mechanics, really its just the support rune and a few new enemies
speaking of enemies, oh my god these new ones suck
their weaknesses are just kind of not fun to deal with
