The Legend of Gwen
Critic Reviews for The Legend of Gwen
The Legend of Gwen presents a fun world with a lot of potential, but there are too many issues with controls and difficulty of the game itself.
Legend of Gwen is a difficult game to recommend. Even if you really love your challenging platformers, you must contend with clunky controls and slow pacing to successfully make it through the experience. It reminds me a lot of those 3D platformers from the PSone era that could not quite grasp the move from 2D to 3D. There is, of course, a portion of gamers that will welcome the challenge of Gwen, but you will need a lot of time and patience, which I clearly lacked. A shame, really, because with a bit of tidying up to the design, this could end up being something quite magical for all audiences. In its current state, it feels more like a curse than a wondrous spell. That, or maybe I’m just terrible at games starring witches.
A 3D platformer with a focus on jumps that unfortunately has poor fundamentals that make positioning a nightmare
