Simoun 09/19/20 5:54:19 AM #198:	I finished Soda Dungeon 2 (Android) the other day. Unless you have a boner for efficiency puzzles, I would say pass on this. It looks better, but it's the exact same game. They give you all these things to build and unlock, but its really just the same classes, the same format. The boss fights were even more boring than the last one, as I managed to kill them on the first run, most of them. The game tried hamfisting a paper thin plot and I just couldn't care. I only finished it because I needed a phone game to entertain me in those 15 minute intervals on a normal day. Should've just stuck with that metro line game. Today I finished Dracula: The Last Sanctuary (PC) the second game in the Dracula franchise. This game is awesome. It's basically Castlevania 2 meets Myst. It's a game that tries to take itself seriously, but fails from the limitations of its engine specifically the 3d cutscenes, but boy are they a joy to watch. They're certainly better than most cutscenes of this era. I could talk about the solidness of the puzzles and the flow of it all; the way you returned to Dracula's castle from the first game and explored areas and setpieces that you couldn't before. And despite revisiting sewers between levels in the first disc (just take the trams Seward), it didn't feel like padding as there were twice the inventory items and twice the puzzles to deal with. But that's boring. I wanna bring up the silly moments as there is a ton of it here. That Dracula had in his hunt for Mina, operated a theater in London "hiding in plain sight" and when you infiltrate it, you have to go up against his T-Posing mechanical double. The fact that Dracula's plan was to mug you in this theater by gaslighting you into thinking you were back in his Castle only to give up after the first minute of interrogation. Oh and I love that moment in the final tower where you tore a hole through one of Drac's minions with a cannonball. What the fuck. Did I mention this game has quick time events? In 2001. --- It's not so cliche anymore when it's happening to you. <cite>Simoun posted [p:944809649] in Post Each ... [t:78770420]...</cite> <quote>I finished Soda Dungeon 2 (Android) the other day.
