And with Odinsphere we got exactly that. The game just oozes style. It was the first Vanillaware game I was exposed to and its art style is just completely intoxicating. Everything is so stylish and big. It just builds and builds on itself with ideas of scale played with to create feelings of dread or moments of "oh god what". The unique gameplay that shows the battle in shadow-relief is not only a stylish way of doing a HUD map, but also gives you the sense of scale that the game uses to tell its stories. The game is told somewhat out of order and through the perspectives of a half dozen characters in a norse-mythology inspired setting and timeline. Each character plays differently, has different goals and is interweaved with the stories of the others in unexpected and satisfying ways. The original game was a bit too ambitious for the PS2 to handle well - but the remake completely smooths away those problems and leaves one of my favorite gaming experiences of all time. --- Board 8's Voice of Reason https://imgur.com/AWY4xHy <cite>Eddv posted [p:951317016] in Board 8 #s...
