Boiled Juan 最近的评测

I gave this game a shot ~3 years ago, couldn't get past the first boss, called it a trash game, uninstalled and forgot about it. I decided to pick it up again this year because Nioh 3 got released and i wanted to give the series another shot. I already had this one so i figured it would at least be a nice distraction while i wait for the new one's price to drop a bit.

This time it clicked. I went in expecting bargain bin Dark Souls and it is a different game than what i had in mind. I was able to get out of that roll-hit-roll-hit mindset and the game became much more enjoyable and it opened up quite a bit after i began to kind of understand how it wanted to be played. I ended up binging this game, jumping on it every time i had a bit of free time. Finished the main story and some side quests in ~46 hours.

The game is still a souls-like, which i love and it is very dynamic with a lot of freedom around builds, spells and such allowing you to find the playstyle that fits you. I chose an axe because big bonk. I can see myself replaying it sometime in the future and trying the other weapons. I saw someone online saying that the game feels less like Dark Souls and more like Diablo after you get used to it and i can see that. I got that neural activation unga bunga hit me too while looting items and sorting through them to see which ones had the biggest numbers or best effects.

Bosses are unique; story is good enough (though i don't have enough japanese history knowledge to really appreciate it i guess), progression seems fine, the maps don't drag on for too long and there are decent ways to cheese your way through frustrating encounters, so i didn't get TOO exhausted trying to finish the game. The DLC is a big step up in difficulty, i got drained of energy very quickly and i just gave up while i was having fun. I'll move on to Nioh 2 but i'm so glad i gave this game another shot.

Would definitely recommend.

Man, I didn't know cats have it this rough on the streets..
Edmund McMillen, you made an education of piece with your trash Mewgenics. I will become back my cat food. I hope you will in your next time a cat.

The game was Overwhelmingly Positive ~2 hours after the release. Most of the reviews here are 'become back my money' memes and copium from fans, mine probably is too but i'll try to say a few serious words below for anyone who's on the fence.

I love The Binding of Isaac and i spent a good chunk of my life on it. I was skeptical about Mewgenics - if it was a random game i would've skipped it, since i can't say i love the theme or the visual aspect of it, and i did skip the Bum Bo game for similar reasons. But I gave it a shot, figured i'll just refund if it's bad.

Right away the game plays better than what i was imagining, i see a lot of potential with items combos and plenty of room for planning and strategizing. They say "1000+ unique abilities (75 per class), 900+ items", everything is giving hard Isaac vibes, which I'm all for, it smells like an awesome game and if they give it the love and attention they gave Isaac and continue to add content i can't see how this can become anything but an amazing spiritual successor. Not sure how I feel about the character management system and the sounds and visuals are just as annoying/meh to me as they are charming, but i think they'll grow on me.

I'd definitely recommend giving this a shot. I'm not refunding it.
There are 281 achievements tied to progression just like with Isaac, I unlocked "The Sewers" last night, feels like there's a lot to uncover.
The grind is on.

Great gameplay, story, soundtrack. It packs lots of content without getting repetitive/boring, there are many different maps, all different yet all astounding. It is well written and i love that the dialogue feels natural, everything made me feel like i'm playing a game that respects me and my time and a game that has been made with passion, similar to how i felt playing Baldur's Gate 3. The endgame side content is challenging and pushes you to work on your builds, and there are lots of build guide videos online showing that every character has the potential to become obscenely powerful with the right cocktail of pictos.
Overall an amazing game that i could not put down after i started playing, one that i will definitely remember and will stay with me and an experience so gripping that i started feeling the itch to start NG+ and experiment with other characters before i even finished my first playthrough.

Great short game. Anomaly hunting game similar to Exit 8 and Cabin Factory. It's stressful/frustrating in the beginning and cozy towards the end, as you become accustomed to the maps and anomalies. Achievements are nice to pursue and don't require grind.
I bought this at a -20% price due to steam summer sale but i think the game has a fair price for what it provides

Similar to Exit 8, fun but rather short. I finished all cabins in 1 hour

Insane

I will resist the urge to turn this review into a joke about poppers.
The game is a banger.

looks like they fixed the game

Great game, just wished it was longer, especially considering the price. I saw the "Horror" tag on this game and that made me buy it, and it wasn't really what i expected in that regard, but i enjoyed the story nevertheless. It left me feeling the same as after finishing Hellblade, and Martha is Dead, thinking that it is a nice psychological horror game with a nice dark atmosphere but i wish they did more with it.
