what a good little friend
2019
A game with an incredible world, fascinating lore, and stunning aesthetics, but where the gameplay is shy of anything worth writing home about.

The only masocore platformer I know of that's more than just hard.

I know that as a Super Metroid fan I'm supposed to love this game, but it just feels soulless to me. The story is pretty nonsensical and the art is pretty garish in my book. The combat is pretty damn boring, and climaxes in truly awful bosses. I can recognize the craft in many elements of this game, but I just felt totally unmoved by the end of the experience.

I'm not giving this a low rating to be contrarian or whatever. Genuinely think this is a bad video game.
It starts out really strong then immediately nosedives into a corridor shooter, and soon nosedives once again as the narrative pivots to just terrible territory.
Absolutely dreadful by the end.

Game so good it broke games discourse permanently
A good game, with fantastic game feel, but you can really tell there was a focus on multiplayer.
Enemies tend to swarm you and bosses have tons of additional enemies. The procedural generation feels pretty pointless and actually kind of weakens the whole experience. There's also some weird imperialist undertones in the game that just left a bad taste in my mouth.
At the end of the day, through, the combat just feels good. Dodging, rolling, shooting. It's a visceral satisfaction that's hard to explain. I feel the action in my gut.
Worth checking out, especially if you have folks to play with.
