On it!

Amazing game with an even better soundtrack

Fun game, and funny at times for me since I enjoy the shopkeeper's dialogue and stories. I frequently re-listen to that one cutscene song that plays towards the end of the game that's like 8-ish minutes long.

Im glad I played this game after Sea of Stars cuz then Sea of Star would have been even more of a disappointment than it already was.

What's the game about? I'll tell you about the movie as equivalent exchange.

I think I got it for free on Epic.

Extremely fun game, I should replay it sometime.

Garl ruined that game. Fuck that guy!

Click on the black and you'll have to read my boring story.

You know, it gets pretty lonely out here, so I have a lot of time to think. The one thing that keeps bugging me is this concept of happiness. Everyone seems to be looking for it, some pretend to have it, but no one can really explain what it is. I think I finally cracked that code. You see, everyone has goals. So you think oh when I have this I'll be happy, or when I achieve that I'll feel eternal bliss. Some people are looking for love or acceptance, while others simply hope Devolver will sign their kickass game. From my perspective, sitting here at the end of time and being visited by countless travelers, I came to realize something very important. Goals don't make people happy. They defer happiness into the future, to when the goal will be achieved. This can only fail, because once you reach your goal, you are not the same person you were when you set out to achieve it. And what's more, your mindset is to chase something instead of enjoying what you have. So there you have it. Happiness is not a goal or a state, it's a system. You optimize your environment and cherry pick the people around you. So that everyday you're just stoked to live your own life, and you don't need to defer any joys, because you optimized the present moment. Now I don't know whether that was cheesy or insightful, or even just annoying, but I need to optimize my own life, and that implies that you stop trying to open my cabinet, so I really hope I bored you to death.

It was okay. The back half was a bit tedious.

Finished up the dlc last night. Great game all around.

Great game, replayed it a few months ago. I love the 8 bit/16 bit gimmick and the soundtrack is 10/10.

I thought it was mostly great, and the gimmick was very cool, but the one thing holding it back was by the metroidvania part youve seen most of what the game has to offer and its just a lot of backtracking without much in the way of new content. Kept it to like an 8/10 imo

I was always suspicious of him because he was just too nice and perfect and everyone loved him. However, I really appreciated him more when he was dying and sacrificed himself to help protect the world. Then of course, that was undone with his (optional) resurrection.

Yeah I really like the Messenger and it's a shame the follow-up game is just not very good.

i got bored a little over half way though

hate that its in the same universe as sea of stars a game i really enjoyed and the plot points resolved by the messenger are just not satisfying

yes i know messenger came first

I loved when he messed all over them

The Metroidvania aspect was pointless - and Metroidvania is one of my favorite subgenres - but the game was still fantastic.
