Omnis Lacrima 最近的评测

An absolute masterpiece. Worth the full price tag to say the least. Far surpased all previous games.
A pure 10/10.

Buyer beware: If you play at extreme difficulties, lower your frame rate to 60 as the hardest bosses get bugged a lot. Interupts and stuns not working, enemies doing the same strong move 3 times in a row and many other weird behaviors. Other than that its an excelent port.

PS. Kratos stopped calling Atreus BOY every 30 seconds.... And it's still killing me.

This is a super sandbox game. Not a story focused RPG.
If you change your mindset to this, you'll have the best time of your life.

And I'm alright with that. Weirdly enough it feels nice to simply get lost and not have to care about the plot for once. Things just happen and you live your every day life.

Now, listen. There is an unfathomable amount of junk and awkwardness in the inputs and overall movements, responsiveness and exploration. I can't deny. The inputs specifically need a serious rework. I had to switch from gamepad to keyboard+mouse due to how bad they are while also being non-customizable. But even on PC, I can't do what I want to do around 40% of the time.

Behind all the QoL issues, of which half already got patched, lies a masterpiece. Drop dead stunning gorgeous visuals and an endless amount of exploration with 0 handholding. No invisible walls. Pure freedom. There are puzzles in the most random and weird spots imaginable. If something looks like it can be messed with. Do it. You'll be impressed.

Haven't even finished the game but it's an easy 8.5/10 thus far.

It's alright

1 drunk pistol bullet is more usefull than 30 SMG bullets with PHD’s
I rest my case.

Better than War Of Mine. Waiting for more features. Absolute love the game!

It crashed more times than enemies I killed.
Run worse than Cyberpunk with Path Tracing.
The endings are pretty bad and nothing makes sense.

But, did I enjoy it? Yes I did.

Seriously, Konami. This bad of a PC port is a crime.

Honestly, this just ain't it. At no point of the game did I enjoy playing it.

Hollow Knight 1 was a masterpiece through and through.
Silksong feels like a chore to play and a downgrade. Waited so many years for nothing.

It's not about difficulty. For me It was incredibly easy. Bought day 1 - pre boss nerfs. Forced myself to play the default crest just to make the game harder and still beat all bosses 1st-2nd try. Rarely 5th. Had almost finished all of ACT 2 without upgrading the needle (forgot). I even one-shotted the act 3 lava escape sequence by accident first try. Difficulty is always welcome. It's everything else that bothers me.

Positives

Amazing level design
Some of the best and smartest platforming challenges. Very satisfying.
Some bosses are a work of art in their combat and design
Really challenging fast paced combat
Tons of customization
Lovable characters
Hornet slaps perverts that try to kiss her

Negatives

The quest system forces wasting an endless amount of time or using guides since the hints are very vague. Like "go somewhere in X area" which means backtracking a ginormous area which also difficult to traverse. Also the quest may need finding a hidden path which means hitting every wall just in case. So you're now stuck wasting 30 minutes backtracking to find the quest only to then get frustrated, search it up and understand the hint was misleading in some way. Every time I didn't google a quest guide, was a time I regretted not doing it.

After every skill you unlock, you need to explore the entire world again. Yes, I know. It's a Metroidvania. But there is no indication an area was fully explored. Having a map in this game is worse than not having one.
Chunks don't get properly separated. You but enter a huge room for a moment, exit, and then the map shows the entire area as if you explored all of it. You end up having to pass through every stage of the map 30+ times. The worst quests are "Kill X enemy 20 times and deliver their item". I killed that enemy 1000 times already when I was still exploring the area. But because I got the quest a bit late by accident, WHY do I need to go back and kill these enemies again? And no you can't ignore quests because the next ones will not appear without completing the previous ones. Can't all enemies drop their materials by default so I can keep them and deliver them later?

And so for the first time in my life I said, screw it. No side quests. I am employed. No way I'm wasting my time on some Ubisoft level chores. But curiosity got the best of me and searched the rewards just in case and got pissed. Key game upgrades like making your weapon stronger which can be done only 4~ times in the entire game are blocked behind time consuming tedious quests. As much as I laughed at IGN for giving a 9/10 due to quests, having now played the game, I am even more pissed at IGN for not giving an even lower rating. Just let me beat a difficult boss or platforming challenge and give me the upgrade. Not force me waste 30-60 minutes on delivery boy duty. I could have played Death Stranding for that with far better sceneries and graphics.

On another note I'd love to blame inputs for being bad and unresponsive but just like Elden Ring, you get used to the junk and clunkiness after 10-20 hours. You do still die from inputs from time to time but I can forgive that as with most games.

Lastly. 30% of the game, Act3 is locked behind the "Castle Inverse" as I call it. Like in Castlevania. I won't tag this as a spoiler, it's a known fact that all metroidvanias copy the OG, Symphony of the Night. But the prerequisites required to unlock essentially half the game are INSANE. A 30 minute youtube guide that requires 2-4 hours in TEDIOUS chores. No normal player would EVER do these by himself in a normal playthrough. Reddit is filled with players asking how. Vids on youtube with guides have 1mil of combined views. Statistically speaking only 1 in 1000 would unlock half the game playing casually.

Everything in this game is a google simulator. To the point, I would add in the game's store page description a disclaimer "Googling or 300 hours of your time required to unlock half the game".

I was between giving a positive review for the lovable and adorable designs of Hornet, Sherma and Bella.
But I honestly cannot. Not a single moment playing this game have I enjoyed my time. As a matter of fact, the game doesn't even respect your time. A shame.

An amazing game. Perfectly polished and really fun to play.

The AI behavior and design is hands down the best there is. Far better than Last Of Us 2 even.

As it is right now, I don't see much content to do. No prestige system. No reset system. Not much progression possible. It's 60 hours of content tops to get all of the best, to do all the quests and try a bit of everything. But it's really fun to play even if maxed out.

The foundation here is really good and updates have potential to make this one of the best games out there. Only time will tell.

Networking 10/10
Optimization 10/10
Graphics 8/10
AI/PvE 10/10
PvP 10/10
Audio 8/10
Scrappy 10/10

The dictionary needs a need word because 'masterpiece' undercuts how good this game is.

Best game I've played in the last 5 years. 10/10.

9/10

Hope more Last Stand games like this one are released in the future. One of the best roguelites I've ever played.
