CARRION

Don't get me started on Animal Crossing (awful gameplay) or The Last of Us (haven't played the 2nd one but read about it and it's more of what I hated in the first). Carrion does what it does and does it WELL! The pixel art adds to the disgusting feeling of the game as does the work on the sound (oh my those screams, delicious!). Devouring those puny humans is fun and there's a nice progression, although you do tend to get a bit lost sometimes, there's no map and indicators (except the ones you get from the surrounding "nests") but the game isn't very long thus it's not very important (the beast moves very quickly too). I personally cannot wait for an eventual follow-up. :D tldr; The Thing but you're the human-devouring monster.

Whoever designed this game figured that: - having the humans still being vastly more powerful than you was a good idea (I love just living because the enemy doesn't actually want to kill me) - having powers but not being able to use them was fun - having to constantly backtrack to downgrade myself - have levels that were clearly designed to have some weak puzzles all over the place was a good idea and the basis of a fun game. It's too bad. Because it is a fun concept. But if I'm playing a monster that can grow... I'd like for a random soldier with a basic shield to not just be able to block my attacks and kill me by just touching me. And I'd like to actually be able to constantly grow. And not being forced to shrink back down, sometimes clearly just so that the next fight would be harder. Just put all the mechs and the soldiers with shields and flamethrowers in the same room and kill me already. You shouldn't be able to get out of this place. They're letting you...

im not the only one who cant get this working on linux either natively or through proton. says its a native linux game. but that was a f***ing lie.

Yes yes yes

The game idea and the mechanics makes really fun but unfortunately after 5h the game ended. For my taste, the game is a little bit to easy.
