🇬🇧 full review | 🇧🇷 resenha completa

Cozy Space Survivors não é o próximo passo do gênero, mas definitivamente pode ser seu primeiro passo no mundo dos bullet heavens. Jogadores que já conhecem todas as evoluções de Vampire Survivors podem olhar para este jogo e falar mal de suas mecânicas superficiais, mas a ideia de criar um autoshooter que também possa ser aconchegante e fofinho funcionou muito bem. Se você sempre quis experimentar um jogo como esse e ficou intimidado, ou apenas quer relaxar por uma ou duas horas, você vai se divertir aqui.

🇬🇧 full review | 🇧🇷 resenha completa

Adoro pequenos conceitos bem executados e Word Trip é exatamente isso. O jogo é fácil de entender, mas, mesmo depois de algumas partidas, você ainda pode encontrar uma combinação de palavras que precisará quebrar a cabeça para resolver. Visualmente é legal e fofo, e o tema complementa a experiência com pequenos detalhes. Claro, o jogo poderia ser muito maior e interessante, mas toda viagem de carro pode ser legal com a mentalidade certa. Eu até adoraria ver esse jogo fora do Playdate (funcionaria perfeitamente em celulares), mas por enquanto, dá pra aproveitá-lo bastante no pequeno aparelho amarelo.

A thoroughly clumsy ZELDA clone with frankly garbo combat, movement, menuing, and level design, but elevated far beyond its station by an excellent world and main character. It's just cool! Kain is cool! His voice is cool! The mid-90s CG grimdark medieval shit is cool! I'm sorry!

So, devs take note: letting the player stomp around the dark fantasy countryside as an eloquent vampire slaughtering peasants with OP spells and turbosucking up all their blood like a latin-speaking wet/dry vac can paper over a LOT of barely-acceptable design.

É tão engraçado ver como esse jogo é... simples e direto? Ande pela mansão, capture os fantasmas que estavam nas pinturas, pegue a próxima chave e repita. É muito doido já ter jogado os outros jogos da série e ver como o começo foi feito.

O jogo em si é muito legal e gostoso de jogar, muito por causa desse motivo. Vários fantasmas são legais de capturar e, por mais que o jogo seja bem linear, os momentos em que você tem mais liberdade pra voltar e explorar a mansão sozinho também são bem legais.

Acho que minha maior crítica com o jogo - e eu entendo que seja totalmente anacrônica porque ele ainda é um launch title do GC - é que ele se alonga demais? Como a premissa é muito simples, eu realmente senti que ele tinha umas horas a mais do que devia e isso me faz entender melhor como seguiram com estruturas mais complexas de jogo pras sequências.

(se puder, jogue LM! é um ótimo jogo e uma das coisas mais diferentes que já existiram em videogame)

não é um jogo que te pune.

não é um jogo que te recompensa.

é um jogo que te infla...

Os únicos milagres com algum valor são os que você mesmo é capaz de realizar.

Sonic inflation é uma trilogia interessante já que, dentro da piada existe uma boa prosa, é um daqueles jogos em que você estranha a primeira vista, te prende pela piada e te conforta pela execução. é o jogo que você não pedia, mas é o jogo que você precisava.

É o tipo de jogo em que você se pergunta se vale a pena se apegar as convenções do "game design bem feito", ao belo, ao limpo, visto que a arte também pode ser feia e depravada. Isso é uma aula de escrita

esse comentário não é irônico

Originally, I posted a review comparing this game to other titles with a ton of depth that demand a lot from the player (like IIDX, +R, etc). I deleted that review, because I wasn't totally sure where I stood on the game after a few more races.

And then after doing even more races, I realized I was right the first time. This game fucking rules.

The tutorial is still awful, but I'm really glad I did it because I would not have thought to use stuff like quick drop without it, and the dialogue between Tails and Robotnik is endearing. It's probably the worst part of the game, and it's irrelevant after the first 45 min outside of the on-boarding process for new players. "Oh, you think you're hot shit? Beat this max CPU level race then" is based, actually.

Otherwise, it's a kart racer that asks more from you than most other entries in the genre, and that's rad. The ring system is sick as hell. The courses aren't all bangers, but an overwhelming majority of them are, and they all look and sound so good that you genuinely forget that the game is a fan project.

The Brawlesque unlock system is only frustrating if you want all the content at once and don't give a shit about the single player experience. The actual process of unlocking everything is, much like it was in Brawl, a fantastic way to encourage new players to plumb the depths of the game, and the key system lets you skip over any challenge you find especially egregious.

Nobody's mentioned the little pets that you can have follow you. I love having a little guy around me at all times for emotional support. No notes, should be a feature in more games in general.

This game is not trying to replace SRB2Kart, and divorced from the context of that game, I don't think it would have nearly as bad of a reputation. The average rating on this page has gone up steadily since this game's release, and as I posted before, in six months after the rough patches of the game are smoothed out (as they have been already in some cases!), it'll be appreciated for the home run that it is.

Final Fantasy Origins is an impressive little collection that bundles the Wonderswan remakes of Final Fantasy I & II for the PlayStation, with a slew of quality-of-life improvements that make Final Fantasy's earliest entries more accessible to new audiences without cheapening their "old school" difficulty. About the only impressive thing Final Fantasy Chronicles does is introduce intrusive load times and slowdown to Super Nintendo games in the year 2001 and with the full space of dedicated CDs at Square's disposal. Astonishing.

I'm sure there's worse ways to play these games. I know my ears wouldn't be able to tolerate a full playthrough of Final Fantasy IV for the Game Boy Advance, at least, but Chronicles is still less than ideal. I didn't tear into the technical aspects of the game in my review of FFIV, but the amount of slowdown here is agonizing. Scroll through your inventory mid-battle and watch it tick by like molasses slowly pouring from the tap. I also encountered a somewhat frequent bug where Rydia's summons would appear for a couple of frames and then vanish, taking any ensuing effects or damage along with them. Granted, I have no (contemporary) frame of reference to say whether these problems are unique to Chronicles or simply part of the FFIV experience, but it definitely hampers the experience of playing this release regardless.

Chrono Trigger is a game I don't currently have the motivation to sit down and fully replay, but I did mess around in it for a while just to get a sense of what the Chronicles edition was like. Bad, it turns out! The load times are so disruptive to the pace of the game that I can't see myself bearing it for a full play in the same way I can FFIV. You do at least get a nicely animated FMV intro, but hear me out: you can just watch that on YouTube before starting an ill-gotten SNES ROM up in your emulator of choice.

Final Fantasy IV also gets an FMV intro, but uhh... uhhhhhh.... Square was respected for the quality of their CGI cutscenes during the PlayStation era, so what happened here? Was all their money tied up with Spirits Within?

There are simply better ways to play these games, and the only real value I see in Chronicles today is if you're trying to fill out a PlayStation 1 collection and are still in the "I don't want to spend a lot on old games" phase of what is sure to be a mounting problem that will ultimately lead you to financial ruin, like it has me. It starts with this and then the next thing you know you're eyeballing copies of Ehrgeiz and Xenogears and contemplating taking out a loan. I'm writing this review on a Chromebook from the back of my 2003 Toyota Avalon, which I live out of now because i bought too many video games, please donate to my patreon i need to eat i promise i won't spend it on Suikoden II thats not who i am anymore i've changed!!
