[–] clarth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago (1 child) Split Fiction's gameplay has been great. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Flagstaff@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago Actually, I think Hazelight's greatest strength by far is presentation/artwork, especially the environment. One of my friends didn't bother to continue with ITT because the platforming was too basic for him. It kinda feels a little like these games pander to casual gamers quite a fair bit. Like, it's cool that if one person stays alive, the game keeps rolling on, but the short-term, Zelda-like micro-puzzles in which only concepts sometimes carry over at most from room to room make its gameplay too easy, I think. They could have done more with the Spoilershoot-em-up segment! It was unfortunately just homage, by a few too many minutes. But dang, all the landscapes are gorgeous. Love the sci-fi sides, although I think the genre-bickering has been getting a bit tropey. We'll see... This kind of makes me now wonder how difficult the Plucky Squire is by comparison. permalink fedilink source parent
