Weirdly relaxing
So I'm a nearly-60 y.o. gamer who prefers slow, methodical gameplay. Look before you leap, then take another look. Go away and think about it for a while; maybe even sleep on it. Come back, have another look, and then *sidle slowly forward*. That's how I roll. Everything I saw and read about this game indicated it would be a complete nightmare. But it was on sale for 79p so I bought it. And over 5 hours of gameplay later (2 hrs more than the average player, according to GOG), I'm still playing it. So far I've got 65 secs on Hard, 32 secs in Harder and, er, 6 secs in Hardest. I had to turn off the sound as while the music was OK, the fembot voice was distracting/annoying (if there's an option to turn off the voice and keep the music, I couldn't find it). Found some bpm-appropriate trance music on YouTube and my average playtime shot up about 10-15 secs per round. Thing is, the gameplay is so abstract I can't get worked up about it when I mess up (the fact that you can restart almost immediately helps too). I honestly don't notice the timer going while I'm playing. Speaking as someone who's rage-smashed controllers playing Dark Souls, I don't understand why this game doesn't reduce me to incoherent apoplectic fury but it doesn't. Honestly don't care if I get much better at it. I just enjoy playing it. So now I relax by listening to trance and going into a mini-trance manoeuvring a tiny ittle shape round oncoming inward-moving other shapes (and I need to relax as I've just started playing Pathologic). One of the best 79ps I've ever spent.
