HOT DAMN THAT WAS A GREAT TIMEEEEEEEEE OMG
not only do i fuck with machine girl but this gameplay loop is so satisfying and that neuron activation you get when a hint shows you a different way you didnt even consider trying to do during the level or even figuring it out by yourself is INSANE
personally my favorite soul cards not counting the obvious kick-ass endgame one was the teal grappling hook RPG card so fucking sick
I also love the art direction, I feel like not every story beat hits the way the devs intended? Like a lot of the appreciation for the ending and the characters is ultimately up to if you want to put in the time to unlock all of White's memories and his connections with other characters
And this game is all no-take-backs, like when people die theres no gotcha at the end or anything like that theyre like Dead dead. Which, forgive me, I kind of was anticipating because of the heavy anime influence on this game. Not that thats bad infact i think its fun! Though sometimes with the writing I was kind of left feeling lightly satisfied when the characters had a tender moment because theyre all really weird dorks that clearly come from troubled upbringings trying to reconcile with one another
And that patience with each other and listening to each other is really a key theme throughout this game i think, you cant just mash through and win
Sometimes just feeling like youre the shit and on top of the world of the game's mechanics is all the incentive you Need
There are times where i even forgot I already had an Ace medal in certain stages
But I kept going back to just scratch that itch, that what-if i can shave a few seconds off
So all in all this game is addicting, not too terribly long, nice online interactivity to really push you into wanting to feel some of its most buttery smooth levels
I just think gathering the gifts kinda detracts a little from the regular characterization of the characters in the story, but if you dont give a fuck about squinting at stories then this is absolutely a uniquely perfect video game that totally is a gold standard for a good as fuck "shooter platformer"
also side note but, i didnt know until the ACCESS level that you could fucking *swap the cards...........................its really funny how you Never need to do that until the 6th to last level in the game LMFAO but also got me thinking.. "holy fuck.. SO I COULD BE EVEN B E T T E R AT THIS THAN I REALIZED IF I GO BACK WITH THIS SWAP IN MIND!!!!!!!!"
just, just fucking play it
get it on a sale if you Have to, borrow from a friend
idgaf, try it.
