Hob

A unfinished but beautiful game

Hob is a very interesting game, but its major flaws sometimes hides its qualities : -At the beginning, the game crashed during a cutscene and I thought that my installation was broken, but when I relaunched it, it worked fine. -When the camera is very close to you and you go toward it, it will start having trouble following you. -They decided to put fixed cameras angles at many spots of the game, even if sometimes you will barely see you character in the distance. -If you like to see a character vibrate like crazy or go trougth walls, then try messing just a little bit with the walls and you'll probably end up stuck in a wall or falling in the void. Also, when you make a good jump, the hitbox might be like : "you're gonna make it, . . . nah just kidding, you fall !". -Some ennemies will attack you from the dead angles of the camera and you cant notice them before they hit you (if they are not busy T-posing and unable to interact with you). -You barely got any moves for combat, same for the ennemies. All of this quite bother me, especially when they were able to create such a beautiful game: -All of the little details in the animation of the environnement is great and make the game feel lively. -The puzzles are good and need you to think, but they dont feel like some testings rooms as they make sense. -The platforming parts are integrated to the puzzle, giving you a good challenge. -The ennemies can hit you real hard, but can hit each others so you can use it as a strategy. The weaknesses hit hard, but the game attempt to take action-RPG, puzzle and platforming together is sucessful and innovative. The story might not be very clear but you still understand it and you don't have tons of texts to go trought (because there's no text or dialogue).
