Narita Boy

The game LOOKS amazing and sounds AMAZING! But too bad: The execution is horrible. The predetermined controls are not so good, keys can not be remapped and the game responds just slugish, slow which is an absolute fun killer for this kind of game, unfortunately. It just does not work properly.

As I've said in my reviews before, I don't blame devs for this as they likely do not know that unity the engine puts these there when they make the games. Still its something people should know

...of my life. Yup, that's should be it. I thought a little bit about how to 'describe' Narita boy, and while descriptive capabilities I don't think to lack, on this subject I always fall short on words. For inspiration, I read the other reviews, and while I understand their opinion, I think most miss the point. Narita boy is what I called not a videogame, but a fable. there is only one other game (two in fact, but one is the sequel of the other, so It doesn't count) I gave that definition, and like Narita boy, It's a masterpiece (if you are wondering, it's Twinsen: LBA 1 & 2). Perhaps a little more mature, but still It manages to transport you not just into another world, but another time, another... feeling. I could spend time describing the presentation, the music (which is, literally, one of the greatest you'll ever hear in the industry. Something that puts 'Symphony of the night' to shame), the graphics, the story (simple but deeply profound), the gameplay (perhaps the only feature with some negligible downsides)... but I won't. I am a fan, sure, but even as a fan I tell you: Play it. Live the journey.

This game had me really intrigued, but jumping and landing on platforms is so annoyingly difficult, that I just stopped after falling into a pit the 20 time.

Game with a very nuce future retro vibe and wonderfull synthwave soundtrack Gameplay wise the weapons and platform moments are also really nice
