Game's fine

OBJECTION!

The game is great, I must add

First time playing Battlefield in the series

It's a very cool experience to play with so many other players on the same map
Lot's of pew pew and boom boom everywhere around the whole map and you can ride a TAAAANK
And I got it at a very good price during a sale, so I'm quickly sold on the game.

Void Stranger is a puzzle game that looks simplistic on the surface.
But as you get deeper, you discover more secrets, more possibilities, the weird world starts to slowly make sense.
And it's filled with layer after layer, that I think it ends up quite complex, and incredibly fun.
I can't recommend it enough to try it out!

It's the game that brought the "Summertime" Soundtrack.
I think it's fine, I loved been able to experience the rides, but it's QoL hasn't aged as good as I remember.
It could improve on the controls, UI and management a bit. Not that I expect it to get updated though.

Personally, RCT2 has aged better

The same game you know and love

First impressions:
It plays very different from Momo: RutM, but it still feels like Momodora. Though kinda more like a Hack-and-Slash than a Metroidvania? It feels like rdein is toying again in altering Momodora's genre, lol.

The camera is quite zoomed out the whole game. Which makes level traversal a bit too slow early on. But it does make up for some great sceneries.
I kinda miss the fleshed out RutM combat from the beginning, but I think the game has a slower start that gets better later on. While movement feels slower, I think the combat still feels satisfying, and the Bosses especially feels REALLY good. Hoping to expect a lot of them.

This is also definitely the most Lore-heavy game that even takes the the previous games back.
Artstyle and Music also feels great.

It's fun with friends

It's a cute little game.

Although shorter than I had expected for the price. As there are only 4 levels (with I guess 4 bonus levels) in which you go through in less than an hour each.

It's kinda strange, it was a nice first impression, but what's shown in the trailer is basically the whole game. it leaves me a bit on the side with the thought of expecting more...
It's a great and innovative concept, but the execution and experience just feels too short to justify the price.

With a city builder, you expect a decent layer of depth in the mechanics, but here it's...kinda just a glorified tile swapping game.

If part of it is a donation for helping the planet, I wouldn't have mind. But just for the game itself...I'll rather let it pass.

I've been told by my opponent to buy the Expansion to learn the new civs, because everyone will be playing the new civs now and I'll need to learn them to reach gold in ranked.

It's only $15 dollars in Manchester, and for 6 unique civilisations to play, I think this is already well worth the price.

Players can still enjoy parts of the expansion by playing the maps in ranked or facing against them. And Hosts with the DLC can also pick up the maps, biomes and enemy civilisations for everyone else in custom games.

But still, that won't be necessary, as the content is rich enough (if not overwhelming) for everyone to try out the DLC.

Game is great, Loving the gameplay, soundtrack and artstyle <3

Pro's:
- Amazing artstyle
- Great music
- I love the gameplay and the possible synergies between builds.

Con's:
- The game is brutally difficult for it's artstyle. I've been used to it since Caveblazers, and it's a game where losing is part of the progress.
- there are some waves of enemies that have some of their own synergy builds as well, some of which that can directly counter your build, it's hard to tell if that's by lack of experience or by choosing the wrong options to make my build.
Tough, sometimes the build you want is not guaranteed to happen, (because that would be broken.) But it's important to adapt to what's currently possible.

I do not see the reason to dislike the game. (Except maybe for a certain funny seafood)
The short sessions makes up for the harder difficulity, and discovering a new build each run keeps it refreshing.
It's a charming and tactical gem, and I see a lot of potentional in the future with it.
