why do people hate jonathan blow serious question idk anything about the guy
besides the hilarious name

great game tho 10/10 i like it

a fantastic story full of twists and turns brought down by poor pacing and repetitive gameplay that doesnt get better until the last two matches

reminds me of sunser overdrive which is good
this game is great wish i could give it a 9 but it definetly has some problems

wish this was better
no steam workshop is fucking insane

2017

wish there was a complex true puzzle game not made for kids version of this game

lowkey kinda overrated but dont tell anyone that i told you that

i think the haters of this game are mostly brainwashed losers who eat video essays for breakfast but i will admit that this game is pretty flawed and DSS glitch was a saving grace for it, but some of the games shortcomings do compensate a bit by making this the only castlevania i felt an actual pretty tough challenge with

wish it had more substance, pretty shallow once you are used to the artstyle, also the artstyle loses some of its effectiveness by being made almost exclusively of random blobs that mesh together and leave no impression and feel almost lazy, but it gets points for its unique gameplay, the extremely well made animation and art, and its very weird and unique way of handling battles (very hard encounters, never lets you feel powerful, no easy encounters at all, but no consequences for failure and almost always a complete restoration right after)

(also the games consumable balance is bad, spells almost always do more then consumables, and while consumables make up for in better numbers, those better numbers are mostly not needed, only time i used consumables was in the crazy batshit last fight)

literally the exact same thing as sludge life 1 like literally identical just a different map, so its still great but it definetly doesnt hit as hard as the first time because again, its the identical same game

not my first game of the year just didnt finish before the new years
great story just at the same time very poorly written/handled
+ characters kinda fucking sucked villains included (exceptions apply: poppi is my sweet baby i love her more then anything and gramps and dromarch were also pretty great they are old man yaoi)
+ gameplay was pretty fun :)

would say more about story but i dont wanna write a giant disorganized mess in here maybe ill do it some other time

beautiful fucking game
also not my first game of 2024 i had almost finished it by end of the year but didnt get there

first game of 2024! :3
way better then expected very surprised

very special, was really surprised
but also
lacking strongly in the gameplay department and really needed more polish really badly
