I wanted an easy game to relax in the evening, but starting from chapter 2 an annoying enemy is added to the mix. That + frustrating puzzles made me uninstall the game after only 3h.
I'm not a veteran of Homeworld games, but I remember playing the first one ages ago. So i got a remaster once it was on a good discount. The game just bugged for me in missions 2, and 3. Mission 2 - I couldn't activate Sensor Manager (that's the big map), and I couldn't send the probe. I had to restart. Mission 3 - After defeating the enemy, and as I assumed, fulfilling the mission goals I got the dialog that "there's noting for us to do here", and the hyperspace drive is charged, but I've never got the hyperspace option :/ When I checked the Objectives the main goal still wasn't completed, but there was nothing left to do on the map... Uninstalled already! SUCH A DISAPPOINTMENT... STAY AWAY... AVOID FRUSTRATION!
What a lovely, little game. It reminds me of LIMBO, but it's better in my opinion. I would say it's well designed experience, and it takes only one session to finish it. Also HIGH PRAISE to the author for showing EPIC STORE the door. BUY THIS GAME! However I have to complain about couple of moments I found really frustrating (SPOILERS at the bottom). It seems that in couple of places gamepad is simply not REALLY WORKING due to its analog nature, and using keyboard gives MUCH better results. I play exclusively using gamepad, and I couldn't pass one of the chapters due to this issue. Not going into details I would recommed playing with keyboard. !!!SPOILER ALERT!!! Chapter 5, spinning wheel, freakin spinning camera, and that bloody mummy lady on the wheelchair. I spent about 15-20 minutes, and god knows how many tries using gamepad (XBOX Elite). It's simply not suitable to for this challenge. On the other hand I passed it only at second try using keyboard. The whole idea with the camera spinning was also quite bad, made me feel dizzy after only a couple of tries. VERY VERY FRUSTRATING! DON'T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN! Chapter 7, one giant tilt, it seems like the game pad controls are laggy, plus there's a lot of moments, when you have to repeat the whole chunk of level when you die, and you die a lot when use gamepad . For me that's the worst chapter in the game. After having a nice session with a puzzle game turning it into a bloody "miliseconds precision" platformer was unnecessary.
