Little Overrated
I liked the game, but there was a few annoying things that made me rate it 4/5. If I would be an insult to better metroidvania games like Ori if I'd give it 5 stars. First, the screen/object size ratio: despite Dust's movements let him flashing through enemies at insane speed, the screen is really limited in size. You can kinda live with it if you play from the couch or have a small monitor, but this is a really bad design decision, which hinder you in battles and adds an artificial difficulty to the treasure/secret finding (since most of the times they are not cleverly hidden or hard to reach, just simply not visible from the normal route and you need to make leaps of faith to find them). The story is sweet, but nothing special. I feel its quite toned down so it can be enjoyable for small kids too. Similarly the fighting part of the game is really easy, even if you rush it the battles will only take longer but you can just repeat the same combos. My biggest problem is that it tries to be a metroidvania, but lacks the great map designs of the genre. Yes, the map is splitted to sections and they repopulate with enemies each time you reenter them, but these encounters are tedious at best and the enemies are boring (basically each area has 2-3 grunt types which are nothing special, and 1-2 enemies which are kinda hard until you kill the first and find the right strategy against them). Yes, there are sections on every map you'll need later skills to reach, but they are not really well paced and due to the screen size you'll waste a lot of find finding treasures just to realize you can only get it later. I absolutely hated backtracking in this game, especially since Dust gets no movement which makes these backtracks faster, and he moves annoyingly slow outside battle. Oh, and I don't really like anthropomorphic animals, especially when the BBE has puppy eyes, but that is subjective.
Hilft dir das weiter?
