[–] kinther@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (5 children) I tried playing E33 and spent a good 12+ hours. I dunno, it feels like it really just does not live up the hype. Am I missing something? permalink fedilink source hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago You what permalink fedilink source parent [–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 child) Did you like the old story driven semi open world turn based combat games it reminds so many people of? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] kinther@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (1 child) Yes, I generally do like that kind of gameplay.

It was good, but it wasn't something I'd recommend the game for. The story was absolutely incredible. The art was gorgeous. And more than anything I think the game really excels in how it all came together. It's got ludonarrative sychrony, the art (both visual and musical) consistently added to the story, the voice acting (at least in English) was top notch. It created an immersive experience that made the story and world building shine and left me constantly feeling strongly and asking questions. All said, it's an art game and if someone doesn't like art games it's not for them. I'm more likely to recommend it to a cinema nerd than someone who's only really into competitive gaming. permalink fedilink source parent [+] weariedfae@sh.itjust.works 1 point 1 week ago [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent
