Not quite, still undecided. I'm wondering if the game will get too hard too soon? And if it's actually an enjoyable adventure rather than just becoming a chore to get further in the game? Any thoughts ?
I didn't wait a second. Already had this game on my watchlist. Got a notification about the price drop and instantaneously bought. No idea when will I ever see the price drop again. So it's better to buy it now. It won't be free ever. I bet.
If you just want to complete the story, then it isnt too hard at all, but still a little difficult. The real test is in getting all orbs.
Honestly, I think it's more frustrating than fun. The floaty movement makes me feel less like I'm in control versus other games with more precise movement. It's funny I remember watching Sanuku's video for this when it launched and I thought it looked like something I wouldn't enjoy despite how much I love the genre. Ultimately my initial feeling is true. I just know what I like from 30+ years of gaming and I can judge most of the time from a video. It's funny how often I'm right about what I find fun in gaming and people still nag me that I can't judge from a video. I'm still going to give it more time, I'm always open to changing my mind... but for the moment I think it's just not for me. I kind of think it's a good thing though that there are games people love to bits that I just don't enjoy. Such is life. At least this lesson technically only cost me a dollar. I was gifted Super Hexagon after saying that I didn't think it was something I would like based on videos and the description of the game... ended up not liking it either.
Bottom line is... You still are the best judge of your own tastes. If you think it really isnt for you, then it probably isnt. Plenty of other good stuff on the appstore. Sad that VVVVVV didnt appeal much to you as it did me and a lot others.
I think this is just one of the rare cases where it's not a genre more than it's something in the programming style/controls that just doesn't click as "fun" for me. So, in this case it's the dev. I felt the same way about Hideo Kojima until I played Zone of the Enders. I guess deep down I was hoping this would be my ZOE type experience. Oh well.
