Everything I Never Knew I Wanted

A lot of people say that this plays like a Zelda, but it's a lot closer to a map-based Devil May Cry with lead boots. You can carry 2 weapons with you out of a total 11, and you and select any 2 you like. Most of them were a total blast to use, and there was a lot of variety; no swords! Better yet: you can upgrade them; each has 5 sets of upgrades, and with each set, you have 2 from which to choose. Make a choice you regret? No problem; you can choose something else whenever you want. There's a lot of potential for customization and fine-tuning your equipment, both for your own preferences, and for new situations. Combat is fun and engaging, and even though the challenges can really try your patience, doing poorly at them will at least bring you the possibility for a weapon upgrade, which makes them much easier; you should be able to blow through most of them with enough upgrades. I didn't love them, but they really did teach you how to master most of the weapons, so they weren't something stupid, like herding goats. There are in-game achievements that give your more money, but they're all extremely reasonable to complete. I found the game to be pretty easy overall. If I have a main gripe, it's that you can't return to any area you've completed, but there is a New Game +. As for everything else, the visuals are interesting; it's cool how the stages build themselves as you progress, and the world has a fairly unique visual style to it. You won't just trudge through the same grass world, forest world, desert world, you know the rest. The music ranges from decent to pretty great, though most of the vocal tracks are lacking. The whole game has a vaguely Wild Western style to it, further propounded by the narrator, who seems like he's going to be annoying at first, but really grew on me; it's all very stylish. The story isn't anything mind-blowing, but it's not bad, either, and with the gameplay as fun as it is, it's much greater than the sum of its parts.

A Masterpiece

Tighly made and very impressive considering it was release way back at 2011 when indie was on the rise. A must play even today.

Awesome hack and slash adventure

A fun hack and slash game, where you unlock various weapons and skills in order to progress throughout a a shattered world and find out what happened. Has lovely visuals, great narration. The story can be pretty mature, despite the colourful setting, but that only adds to it. In terms of gameplay, its a good example of easy to learn hard to master. Not everything is perfect thought. Sometimes when surrounded by enemies you shied and targetting system wont work perfectly. Plus the edge where you fall off if not on the pathway can feel quite restrictive and somewhat annoying. But for the price, this is a great game. Undeniably recommended.

One Day Your Bird is Gonna Fly..

"Proper story's supposed to start at the beginning..." -Rucks I was recommended this game from a friend of mine in graduate college. She had mentioned that the game may LOOK simple, but there was much more to it. Taking her advice, I bought it and have not regretted it since. This game not only tells a story that resonates politically and socially now more than ever, it has some of the best audio ever put to a game. Its soundtrack contains some of my favorite video game, especially the credits song. I also love the fact that the continuous use of narration not only enhances the storybook quality of the game, but also helps add to the world-building without ever interrupting the flow of gameplay. Though the gameplay itself is relatively simple compared to the rest of the game, I continue to play it to this day to try out different weapon combinations and relive the Kid's story. I definitely recommend this game. So, "what do you say?" - Rucks

Nice art, unpolished combat

The game looks very nice and sounds pretty good too — some sound effects are from a stock library, which made them feel uninspired; the songs are mostly good. The combat has quite a few issues, but the weapons are solid and fun: the targeting with the shield or a ranged weapon is undependable — cycling through enemies is often not a viable option and my shield (or ranged weapon) locking onto the incorrect enemy usually leads to feelings of unfairness — the enemies are mostly okay, some are very frustrating to fight — the frog-like enemies with armor on the front are annoying to fight and often frustrate; the eyeball enemies are also annoying to fight and take a while to kill; the bull enemy is pretty much a waiting game, because after he starts attacking you can pretty much just defend with your shield and wait for him to stop; the turrets are similiar to the bull, as they also turn the game into waiting, but thankfully not all of them: the spike enemies can be dodged, but if you don't dodge them when they start attacking it's just best to defend until they stop; the orb shooting turrets are fine, you can counter them easily and they don't shoot for long; the turrets who turtle can be fine to deal with if you can one-shot them with a counter or a weapon, but slow down the game otherwise — the animation is very problematic: some enemies don't have clear telegraphing or almost any at all; the rolling is fast, but doesn't have i-frames, which means it's just mostly used for maneouvring around the battlefield. The challenges are very different from one another, but this leads to big spikes in difficulty — one challenge I beat perfectly on my first time, others I didn't win at all — however they are overall a nice idea executed well. The plot asks somewhat interesting questions, but it's not too interesting overall. Overall the game is mostly noteworthy for it's art (visuals, music); the story and combat aren't too good. Together they create an alright to good game.
