I thought Yooka Laylee was really good until the levels progressively got worse. Maybe I just really wanted to like it and I slowly could trick myself less and less

I liked it overall, too. Even the hated casino level. I think the minecart physics could use some work, but I played it at launch and I think some of the controls got patched, maybe the minecart was one.

I'm not really a big fan of hollow knight's visuals either but if you think it looks like a flash game I imagine you haven't played a flash game in years

its biggest issue imo is the way everything just blends together. There isnt a ton of colour variety and there's a lot of very dark colours and actually pure black. Background elements blend with interactable elements blend with foreground elements. In fact there's just too much stuff in the foreground in general. Import aspects of the screen are often difficult to make out since very very parts of the design really "pop"

I played last month and the controls didn't really get in my way, so probably. I never beat it but I did all the big levels up to the 5th.

I liked Y-L a lot. More than Hat in Time. I guess I just enjoy collectathons more than most gamers.

The visuals are basic at best. It sure doesnt look good and its literally the first thing you see. Among metroidvania type games its one of the worst looking.

More so youre a bright white head with a smaller dark body. It doesnt look good.

Sure, maybe everything else is stellar but its visuals arnt. And ultra biased "one of the best games ever" statements dont help at all.

In the realm of crowdfunding? Probably Yooka-Laylee.

Ah dang, thats a shame. I wonder if theyll be able to do a sequel with some more polish.

Yooka-Laylee's followup is already earning more people's trust by showing off the shift in direction.

Interesting, hopefully they hit the mark better this time. Although Im disappointed they saw the camera criticisms and decided to almost scrap 3-D entirely, lol.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-hom8yJkbw" data-time="

They confirmed that it's a side game. The actual sequel will probably be like the first game with (hopefully) lots of improvements. I personally hope for better level design and not making the worlds feel like floating islands above an abyss. Banjo never did that except for when it made sense (Cloud Cuckooland).

Either way, it's awesome that we actually got a good crowdfunded big-name game. Downloading it for my PS4 since for whatever reason they decided to delay the Switch release for a week. ...Also Shovel Knight being put into nearly every game is hilarious to me.

I'll admit that Hollow Knight looked unappealing,dark and drab at first, but once you actually have it in your hands and play it, it's beautiful, cute and charming, while also being a little unsettling and dim.

Sound design and controls is on point, too

It's ok. Hard going from Hollow Knight to this right after. A downgrade, imo.


Hollow knight is a top ten Metriodvania easily. Perhaps even top 5.

Like really aside from the very best "Igavania" games and Super Metriod is there any other metriodvania as Respected as Hollow Knight?


Ori

Also the hype is dead since it's an older game but Aquaria is fucking amazing.

I'm another one that likes Hollow Knight's visuals and also think it's a really, really damn good metroidvania. I prefer Ori though, personally.

I would have greatly preferred pixel art with the occasional 2.5D like SotN but otherwise the game is great so far.

You're not completely wrong but there are a few really cool areas. Greenpath and Crystal Peak come to mind. The City is alright too.

Only 1 paid DLC and that's charging for the Kickstarter exclusive (not so much now) stuff. It really pissed off some backers too.

All other foreseeable DLC is free.

I am just now learning that once you master a skill, you can start using that skill with every other weapon of that class. I mastered that first boots martial art, the 3 piece one, and started using it with the assassin's boots....with that weapon's drop down and breakdance skill, I just did like a 9 piece combo. It looked noice.

On a technical level it can look a bit low-poly. But the animations and saturated colors are great. And the lighting is doing like 90% of the work in selling the visuals.

I've mostly seen release gameplay because I was turned off by the first set of stuff. I'll say the bosses look fantastic but everything else looks very reminiscent of shit like Mighty No 9 visual wise. I'm just not a fan of 2.5d.
