Właściwie to nie mod a pełna konwersja. Znaczy mamy oryginalne bronie i potwory a świat wokół to rozpadające się resztki starego świata w stylu Fallout-a. Design poziomów jest bardzo dobry, grafika klimatyczna wiadomo to nadal hula na mocno przerobionym silniku od Doom-a więc jest mocno old-school-owo ale przynajmniej pójdzie też na antycznym sprzęcie. Muzyka jest boska, idealnie nadaje klimat. Co ciekawe Ashes 2063 ma nawet spoko fabułę. Jakbym miał się do czegoś przyczepić to jazda motocyklem przyprawia trochę problemów a wybór przeciwników nie jest największy. No ale nie zmienia to za bardzo radochy z grania. Z tego co widzę mamy tutaj tylko główną grę i jeden dodatek. Ashes dostały już jeszcze lepszy sequel Afterglow i kolejny dodatek dziejący się przed wydarzeniami oryginalnej gry - Hard Reset.
On it's own it's fun well made metroidvania but a bit disappointing sequel. Graphic and music are still great. Pixel art is maybe better than in the first Blasphemous and music by Carlos Viola is still godly. Gameplay is a bit better, no more instant deaths, nice new skills and weapon system, fighting and moving seem more fluid. So why I think it's weaker? First gone is the challange, bosses are too easy except for Eviterno, rest of the game medium difficulty at best. Fortunately game is long enough. Setting and story is weaker. Most of the bosses and npc are not really memorable. Areas look good but feel disjointed and mood of the game is much less opresive and dark. Also got 2 weird bugs. First I couldn't access menu after finding new items, I had to move a little. Second music sometimes too late after entering new area. PS I'm waiting for some DLC so I could replay Blasphemous 2. It's really good game just not on the level of the first one.
Pod względem wizualnym gra jest spoczko, razem z muzyką tworzą ciekawą atmosferę sielskiego miasteczka pełnego tajemnic. No ale gra kuleje na pozostałych frontach. Sam pomysł na fabułę jest niezły ale już sama gra sprawia wrażenie niechlujnie poskładanej. Jeszcze żeby było wyjaśnienie czemu zagadki są takie nielogiczne, czemu postacie w grze postępują tak dziwacznie, czemu ma się wrażenie że trochę zdarzeń nie znalazło się w grze. Zagadki są mało logiczne ale gra ogólnie jest łatwa i dość krótka, dialogi nie powalają a postacie nie zapadają w pamięć. Gra raz się zawiesiła po za tym bugów brak. Można spróbować przy dużej obniżce cen.
The game is all about exploration. Traveling through bizzare world, climbing, talking, doing small quest and collecting tons of stuff from mask to butterflies. There is no big story, no ticking clock, no great goal to achive, no fighting. Graphic is very artistic but after getting used to strange color pallete is quite good. One star less for some glitches and I wouldn't mind more lore about world or better reward for some quests. Still I recomend some relaxing game.
If You loved original Thief go get the sequel. Both games are still best as far as mechanics, lore, story and stealth gameplay. Sequel have more variation to missions, bigger levels (Life of the party level rules) and better story. Enemies variations is a bit lacking comparing to first game also this one have a lot less horror elements. Still both games are 10/10.
I really tried to like it. Shooting is ok a bit monotonous, selection of enemies is passable, good music and average sound. Graphic are bland and boring. But the worst offend is lack of map. Later levels are those mazes were everything looks the same, You need to check every wall or door to see if they can be opened, search for small switches everywhere. It's just not fun. I didn't finish Last Rites, maybe later levels are better but I don't feel like forcing myself through it.
I've played the original but core game looks to be the same. Graphic was great back then so it probably even better now. Problem is the gameplay, it's too repetive. Not too many enemies variants and only 1 unique boss??? I think I got most of weapons and plasmids half of the game. Second half of the game after the twist felt too similiar. There was nothing like Fort Frolic which was the best part of the game. Unfortunately story also took a nosedive. Sorry but the main bad guy was meh and there was nothing interesting after "Would You kindly". Maybe it's because Bioshock borrows heavily from System Shock gameplay didn't impress me that much. Good ending was a big let down. Final verdict 6,5-7/10.
