But luckily the actual combat is fun and is designed in such a way that newcomers can quickly get the hang of the combos.
But it feels like instead of putting time into multiple engrossing levels to experience, the player is instead thrown into a handful of death-trap missions with inferior controls and volatile settings and told they should be having fun.
Rather than mowing down hordes of zombies with a hail of bullets, you’ll be using your environment to outsmart the undead, with the occasional ax to the head of course.
Penning logs, navigating maps, and analyzing my findings in the lab menu felt like authentic and really immersed me in the experience.
From the originality of the story, to the illustrative comic book panel scenes and exceptional graphics, Turn On is a fantastic casual platformer guaranteed to help pass a few hours of your day with a smile on your face.
When some of your level design includes portal puzzles, you absolutely need them to look distinctly different from each other.
Seeing as how every level is randomly generated there could be a lot more to offer than the meandering and side-questing that is there.
Often the winner is simply determined by who has more units which begs the question, why even have this type of combat system?
The mechanics are solid and while the moment to moment action is a bit repetitive, the steady grind to level your characters is surprisingly satisfying.
They also replaced the original final level, The Elementary School, and in my opinion, that was absolutely the right call since school shootings aren’t funny or worth emulating.
Some might appreciate this stripped down approach, but I like a little more visual variation in my games.
Despite how peculiar it all may seem, all of the elements of Soft Body come together and make perfect sense while you are playing it. I would recommend Soft Body to players looking for a light challenge and something to take their mind off of other things; you do not need to look any further than this odd and special game.
The entire upgrade system is downright painful. The majority of unlocks are simple moves that should have been available from the beginning such as running up a wall, turning around and jumping, or a simple leg tuck to clear a railing.
Blood and Wine feels like a fitting end to Geralt’s story.
The translation is unbelievably, hilariously bad.
You really feel like a solitary stranger in a strange land. This one has tons of atmosphere.
It’s actually quite ingenious how much mileage the developers get out of one gameplay element.
There is no better feeling than leaping off a platform and, for what seems like several seconds, not getting stopped by the level's geometry and managing to dodge the oncoming wave of bats, ghosts, and wall crawlers.
The sandy Moroccan environment isn’t as inspiring as Sapienza in the last episode, and I felt IO Interactive could have done more with the Mediterranean backdrop other than to include a busy bazaar and private shisha club.
The gameplay isn't bad, but it's not great either and there are certain glaring problems with some parts of its execution.
