tsuper review: Did not finish
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
I couldn’t do this one. I’m sorry. I’m sorry <:c I didn’t like it.
I wanted to like it. Oh, I wanted to. I wanted to so bad. Its art style is so good – 3D graphics with technicolor pixel art texture maps. It had a real slick style to it. It looked so good.
That is just about the only good thing about it.
The writing was stiff an odd - you open on your birthday, eating cake with your parents, and then you get a phone call where you got a job and have to travel to an island city immediately the next day. Everything is stilted, incongruous. There is zero pacing, zero direction. It’s like… honest to god, it looked and felt like a Sims mod - the removed, generic names for every action (like the prompt ‘talk to person’ when we already know who it is. Really? Not ‘talk to mom’?) the way the animations play. The game is in isometric view, but you can zoom in and out and rotate the camera - walls will disappear if you’re on the same view plane as them. Not outside, though! The building sides won’t disappear, so I had to fight to see where I’m going.
I just couldn’t see myself playing this to completion. I’m pretty glad I didn’t pay money for this game.
Next up: THANK YOU NINGLOR!!!!!!
See you soon!
Yay! Go on hog hunter! Go! :D
Have much fun with the second part :)
I’ve also had the same experience with Else Heart.Break(). You made it farther then me though.
Have fun with Demon Hunter 2!
I’ve managed to finish else Heart.break(), but I was ready to drop it a few times. There is actually a plot which involves romance and a love triangle, a government conspiracy and a rebel hackers organization, but it took a lot of time to find all of it without clues, and I think it wasn’t worth the effort. I see this game as a playground, or a sandbox for those who knows a bit of coding: you can set yourself a goal (to open any door remotely, or to make all citizens fell asleep, for example), and then you can try to achieve it. For me, it was interesting at first, but then it became frustrating: I’m not much into programming stuff, especially during my free time, when I just want to play a game. In the end, I didn’t even find the main villain to have a confrontation with, although I had really tried =( Eventually, I finished the game by changing one attribute for one character, which led me to one of the ending sequences, although I’m not sure it was the way the developers intended me to finish it.
I’m still glad you got SOMETHING out of it, at least. It felt like a game that honestly didn’t want to be played.
I’ve tried Else Heart.break() too… had exactly the same issue. Wanted to like it, but, nah.
I think I’ll give it one more try. But I will probably end up deleting it from my account.
