Children of Morta

Just play it.

If u're 40 years old lonely fagit like me, u will like it

My computer more than meets the minimal requirements, but the game will not complete the initial game loading screen. Instead, the load appears to hang and, if not quit, eventually results in a kernel panic after ~10 minutes. This is my first game review, and I don't like the thought of starting on a negative review, particularly when I cannot even discuss game play, but I felt compelled to warn other Mac users that this might not be the RPG for them either.

I watched JFSS and he loved the game so I decided to check it out. Soon as I boot it up, there are white lines flashing on the backround as I walk around, I google for 10 min, find out its a known bug. its difficult to enjoy the style with flashing lines everywhere. I play for 5 minutes and hit a impassable wall. I cant get past it. I run back to the beggining, nothing. I search looking all over for a button or something. I finally give up, 15 more minutes googling it. Cant find anything so I watch a walkthrough, apparently my wall is bugged and dosnt give me the button to open it. So far I spent more time on google than the game I just bought. I reload, nothing saved, I assumed the runes I walked over saved, I was wrong. The actual gameplay forces you to play as 2 characters (Im maybe an hour into the actual game, to be fair), how do I know? Another 10 minutes of googling to figure out this is the only way to play. Two characters, one actually labeled P2. So this is a two player game and I have to control two players with one controller. I suppose the game play is fun but its hard to tell as 90% of the game is trying to deal with a character that is stuck on a wall or out of position which forces you to contantly try to get one character 'stuck' on somethign (because they move together of course) in the environment so you can put one of them into place. And all this while you are being attacked or dealing with environments that literally pull you apart from the 2nd character. A button for regathering them, or bringing the 2nd player to you, or anything frankly, would maybe make this tolerable but as of now, I simply cant play this any longer. Im annoyed. I looks fun but the bugs and 2nd player BS make this a "huh?!" experience. Maybe this is a great 2 player game, and since I bought it, I will try that out in a few months when my brother visits as there is no online component. 2 stars for now, for style and the potential for a fun game.

GOG should be clear when a game is local co-op only. My wife and I wasted money on this game thinking we could play it together online. It may be great but we'll wait to play it when the dev actually delivers on the promise of online co-op.
