Hello everyone. I hope everyone has had a good week and has been staying cool in the summer heat. I have been playing more Nightreign. I have not attempted Purple Fulghor yet because I hadn’t beaten regular Fulghor until last night. I hope to try him tonight but I’ve been busy. Hope you all have a good week.
I finished Ori and the Will of Wisps. The story is nu-pixar-tier emotionally manipulative libslop which might sound surprising for such a simple family-targeted game but the villain is one of those “I was rejected by society as a minority so… I will destroy everything” types. The platforming and bosses were really good though, it just didn’t grab me as anything beyond a good toy I guess. So it was an 8.3/10 for me.
I played Minishoot’ Adventures and shelved it after beating the true last boss. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good twin-stick shooter and decent metroidvania with addicting exploration, however I find the artstyle a bit bland and the story is pretty much non-existent, so I can’t be assed to do the optional post-game battle challenges without any exploration in new areas sprinkled in. It was a 7.5/10 for me pretty much.
I also tried Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo after trying and liking the demo, but the actual game didn’t manage to grab me so I refunded it. I didn’t really like the yoyo combat which utilizes sloped walls to pierce through many enemies, also the town you explore throughout the game was a bit boring for me.
