Brie Flambe 最近的评测

I just don't vibe with it at all. Not clear what is or isn't working in a run, days are too short, the shaking when the boss is going to spawn next night is irritating since you can't move during it. idk, I should like it based on the description, but it does nothing for me and just irritates me. Not particularly helpful feedback but it's how I feel

It's a good picross game if you like picross, you'll almost certainly like this, but there are some personally very clunky things that make it a 7.5/10 to me

Couple of pain points personally:

1) It's on theme, but I find the cheese pattern in the puzzles more difficult to visually parse at a glance or out of the corner of my eye than traditional solid color. Could be a setting I'm missing somewhere.

2) it drives me nuts that the darker color grids on puzzles are not always 5x5, it throws off the rhythm big time. Some puzzles are not multiples of 5 in dimension, 12x10 is common, and they will give you grids of an irregular size, like 2 rectangles of 6x5. It's like throwing a wrench into my brain

3) Almost all puzzles are furniture of some sort. They're still puzzles and it fits the rat/decorating portion of the game (I essentially ignore it) but it's always fun mixing it up a bit more

This game is a breath of fresh air for factory games. I like the presentation, it's easy to adjust your base/logistics, and it's just fun. The ants dying takes some getting used to, but once you have moved down the tech tree a bit it adds a fun layer of taking those dying ants and combining them to make a new set of ants to do X task. Dev seems to be responsive, my biggest early complaints were already fixed (specifically blocking of caste gate with requiring you to hatch 30 larva on a different island, was a tedious pain in the butt, but no longer!). If you like factory games give it a look, definitely worth the price.

I really want to like this game but there are so many little annoyances. The talent tree will generate dead ends, which can completely kill a run on higher difficulties. The class balance is whack, with the starter class being next to impossible to lose on period on any difficulty, with the rest lagging a mile behind feeling kind of ♥♥♥♥ to play with (usually) dinky range, glacial attack speed, and much more limited ability usage until 75% of the way through a run, if you can make it that far.

The talent packs which give a set of abilities on the tree range from stupidly strong to "your run is now over because this was a win more pack, not a start to win pack". Sometimes the central talent to a pack generates across a gap in the tree, also functionally ending your run.

Every class has "challenges" which are usually easy and pretty brain dead and unlock a legendary talent you will likely never see, or a skin that (imo) looks worse than the default.

I might come back and give it a shot again the future, and it does only cost $4 for ~10 hours of entertainment, but the cracks start to show and the fun melts away once you start moving the difficulty up for most classes

Fun little game, combo of zelda and a bullet hell. Probably not that hard if you're really into bullet hells, but as someone who isn't it's a fun level of challenge, not a breeze, but not impossible. Would note that a fast travel system of some kind would be nice toward the end, but the world isn't crazy big so it's not too bad. Definitely worth checking out

Very good metroidvania, more slow paced (usually) and "peaceful" than most (not traditional combat, but there is certainly still plenty of danger). Definitely worth a look if you don't mind being lost and going back over areas you've been.
