Michael T Moreno 最近的评测

it's silly, but I constantly run into that typical yugioh issue when playing any other "dual monsters" game outside the original 1998 game, "You just overcomplicated this game..." lol.

this is an issue i run into whenever i try my damnedest to get into yugioh after middle school... this is way too complicated... it does not need to be this complicated... what the hell dude lol.

this sound negative, and it kind of is... but I actually HIGHLY RECOMMEND this game... at full price. there is just sooooo much here for everyone. if one game doesnt gel with you... most likely, there will be at least two here that does. currently, I am in love and addicted to "duel monster 1998", "capsule monsters" and "dungeon dice monsters". soooo much fun, very easy to hop in and out of aaaaand very addictive game loops.

outside those, the games introduce waaay too many "unknown variables" that can result in insta kills of your monsters. the only way to plan for things like "types" and "alignments" is to just pack your deck with a mix of monsters. eliminating specialized or focused straight forward strategy.... hell it eliminates most strategy being that its a set of unpredictible variables that can ruin your game. it's weird. then, summon rules are further complicated... and so on. the ironic fun in these frustrations in this collection is that it walks you through game by game how the card game became so damn convaluted and rediculously, needlessly complex. it helps you understand your not crazy for feeling things seem more complicated than they did when you were a kid... or younger... this collection proves that yes... THEY DID lol.

all that said, I'm always willing to learn and just... "try" to get into it all... and in the end they are all very fun games especially since you are still doing what made the series so popular in the first place... collecting cards/monsters. the collecting is great, reviewing your cards and building your deck is very rewarding and fun. god i love this collection. I do wish "forbidden memories" and full art galleries were included... and the ability to rotate the game boxes(also feel the lack of the "gameboy branding hurts the art a bit lol).

I highly recommend this collection at full price because it provides enough varied content that everyone will find at least 2 games they will like and possibly very easy for those people to bury HOURS into those games they enjoy. this collection is so much fun, especially in an age were deckbuilder cards games are so popular. i find the simplest form of "duel monsters" soooo much fun, and hope to finally get truly invested in the future titles of "duel monsters"... but the love of three games in this collection that are surprisingly very unique and varied experiences from each other, really makes me such a fan of this purchase.

BUY THIS.

God i have always loved the ost to this game...

the game... ehhhh not so much lol. it's an interesting concept, really cool abstract approach to rhythm based games... but it's a bit... it can get messy lol.

it's fine when you get the hang of it.. but its more of a stray in regard to beat and runner in the sense of accessibility. it takes a lot more effort and patience to get into the groove of it, even then it's not like those where you can "first time complete" a session after learning the mechanics and... "level layout"(in a more abstract way lol, lacking of a better phrase here). in runner, after a few levels you can get into a trance and complete levels on your first try if your... "in it" lol. this is more abstract visually and a lot harder to read as the stage progresses...

so I can easily recommend it for the soundtrack and the novelty of trying gameplay wise... but it's not a great game really. well... in the sense of fun or engagement. it is cool though lol... if thats of any value.

YES, if you buy the bundle...
NO, if you just buy the game...
(though i think oddly enough the game comes with the ost in the folder without buying the ost, i could be mistaken though... i have it but it says i dont own the ost... im listening to it as im writing this soooo yeah... i have no idea whats happening with this ost thing lol. probably an oversight)

definitely a great experience when I first played it waaay back when i bought it... im sure its still awesome... im just... confused... i thought it was released?

I recommended it back then... hopefully that still holds up. it was such a really awesome survival open world player driven experience with a really fun pvp for a player who never engages with pvp to any degree. I barely engage with co-op... but here the pvp was so much fun with other players roleplaying medieval knights during tdm... huddling togethers creating a sort of phalanx with shields and swords sticking out lol.

that was fun lol. the single player experience was the best, and where i spent my time as i tend to do. the player shop made it possible for me to attain that knight armor i wanted without the exstentive wait.

so much fun back then.

YOU ♥♥♥♥♥♥ UP SOUR REAVER, GREAT WORK...

RECOMMENDATION:
newcomers: do not buy this at any price!
fans: worth it for the bonus content, but at no more than 10$.


THE REVIEW:

... Sigh...
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥...
god ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ damnit...
almost every remaster introduces minor tweaks that break the game they are restoring...

SIGH...
i'll just keep it short. The physics engine introdudes game breaking bugs at various points of the games. Its easy to dismiss it at "oh... Its a 25 year old game on modern hardware... It wasnt built for this but tge remasters make them more playable with less setup."

To that i say...
the original 1999 and 2001 steam version run perfectly out of the box, even supporting controllers. There are no game breaking physic glitches out the gate like this. I play through the original a lot! i never ran into game breaking bugs!

some positives:
look, everything everyone says about the visuals and QoL additions are awesome... The ost is still there, the prerendered cufscenes are clearly literally rerendered with all the original assets but polished... They look amazing and the prerendeed cutscenes all look and feel modern day theatrical and cinematic. The night and day system is awesome. And etc.

this is a fan's dream. There was serioudly a lot of love here... Waaaaay more than most remasters. Its very noticible, espppppecially in comparison.

the issues show up in the gameplay.

look, i bought this for the bonus content... And that alone is well worth 10$ at most... But you broke soul reaver and soul reaver 2... Great work.

but at the end of the day, the visuals and additions mean nothing if you cant get through the game to experience them.

this is a great bit of dlc for fans... But not worth grabbing for newcomers, at all.
that 30$ price tag is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ crazy for two freshly broken versions of amazing games... Get the originals.

final thought:
YOU ♥♥♥♥♥♥ UP SOUR REAVER, GREAT WORK...

RECOMMENDATION:
newcomers: do not buy this at any price!
fans: worth it for the bonus content, but at no more than 10$.

Ill say... rushed, cheap, possible asset flip, low effort mobile port...

But...

It actually pretty damn fun... like most bullet heaven style "survivor-likes"... though this one bucks the bad survivor like pitfalls by actually providing escalating challenging scenarios, the power feel hits well because your forced to move a lot in some scenarios, pick your targets in an order that works for you in some and with character and weapon unlocks. The structure is not survivor like as its short levels... 100+ probably... your not getting levelup mods in level. You are mostly picking a weapon and character at the start, leveling them with coins after each level and pushing from level to level... lol what whole description has "level" a lot... srry. Anyway. Its fun... for preferably "free"... buuuuut if you missed the giveaway... its great for a 1$ or less.

A fun time, and a deeeeep discount recommend!

dude... wtf?

1. THIS IS NOT VR, just know that. if your coming from the quest for a more solid pc vr experience with more flexibility and customization... NO!... NOPE!

VR!? WHAT!? why would you expect that???

2. graphics are quest "2" quality...
3. performance is fine... not stuttering, lags, frame dropping etc... but there really isnt anything going on for that to be an issue... you would expect there to be some hardware stress... none, because nothing is happening here... the characters are pretty much ps2 npcs.
4. waaaaay too buggy to be available for purchase... even though it works fine on quest... no resposes, no voice acting... I.. I really dont know what the f**k this is doing on steam for sale. it's to early for early access dude... no.
5. literal "NO EFFORT" vr port, but it feels like a no effort mobile port. the menus and ui... i mean, esc doesnt bring up the menu... just asks you if you want to quit. tab brings up the popup game window unchanged from the quest. and the settings are there... no deep pc options. no graphics settings... so no bumping up to "ultra". to toggle window mode... "Alt+Enter"... etc etc....

DO NOT BUY THIS "NO EFFORT GARBAGE"! STICK TO THE QUEST VERSION IF YOU WANT TO TRY IT.... BUT EVENT THAT FEELS LIKE A CRIME TO RECOMMEND EVEN THOUGH IT IS LEGITIMATELY BETTER... but yeah... DO NOT BUY THIS!

DO NOT BUY THIS! I HAVE A DECENT MACHINE AND VR GAME ON IT AS WELL AS NEXT GEN FLAT STUFF WITH NO ISSUES... THIS IS NOT A CASE OF, "it didnt work for him, but it could work for me..." NO! DO NOT BUY THIS! SERIOUSLY...

NOOOOO!

VERDICT(copy/pasted from bottom):
THIS IS A MUST PLAY FOR EVRYONE. fans and non-fans of dungeon crawlers alike. This is THE MOST ACCESSIBLE AND GAMEPLAY RICH DUNGEON CRAWLERS IN OUR MODERN GAMING LANDSCAPE!

IF YOU CATCH A SALE, ITS A MUST BUY NO QUESTIONS ASKED!!! SERIOUSLY!

ANECDOTAL/DETAILS:
One of the best dungeon crawlers out... an extremely surprising gem for me. recommended to me long ago by an old friend. this game places "drawing your own maps" at the front and center with it built into the game with an extensive amount of tools to do so to your own personal liking. having the mapping aspect as a built in accessible near mandatory function makes this game less stressful to most, and incredibly relaxing if you like since you are truly learning your environment... documenting points of interest, creatures and etc which is like i said, a major part of the experience.

this version of the game has a ton of Quality of life features added to it along the lines of "auto fight", quick saving and etc.

building your party is not as intimidating as other dungeon crawlers... especially the ssi dnd games. the classes are interesting enough, the art is gorgeous! I wish I could buy an artbook for the game. AND THE SOUNDTRACK IS BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

THIS IS A MUST PLAY FOR EVRYONE. fans and non-fans of dungeon crawlers alike. This is THE MOST ACCESSIBLE AND GAMEPLAY RICH DUNGEON CRAWLERS IN OUR MODERN GAMING LANDSCAPE! again, for both fans of the hunt and crawl aaaaand for those just looking to chill... this game is a true innovation with built in tools for an approach the console gamer has been excluded from for decades now.

i cant say it enough... the mapping aspect is THE BEST PART OF THIS GAME! you actually feel like a cartographer... oh also, this game is not bogged down by the typical anime japanese hours of dialogue in between gameplay. this is more along the lines of a game from the main line shin megami tensei series where Gameplay is first and foremost, while story is present and deep, but delivered without bloat. you spend a lot of time actually playing than you are stuck reading walls of text. such a fantastic game.

IF YOU CATCH A SALE, ITS A MUST BUY NO QUESTIONS ASKED!!! SERIOUSLY!

oh... also the skill trees are solid with a fun approach to unlocking certain skills with clearly communicated via visual node lines of the prerequisites and etc.

theres a lot more to praise... but i'll end it here.

BUY THIS!!!

ADDITIONAL NOTE:
I WISH THEY SOLD THE SOUNDTRACK WITH THE GAME!!!!!!!!!

A solid, tight action platformer roguelike with pretty stylish combat animation and ton of ways to play through various weapons, character fusion combos, crispy movement and the perk of applying... perks... to your existing actions that further enhance your preferences and ultimately makes you feel... like a god lol.

no but seriously, this is a must play at full price... if you can get it cheaper... its a no question, just buy it!!! purchase. the maps are interesting enough in their themes/style, but the "in-between" is where the fun is(not that the regular maps are boring, not at all). the in-between tests you with platforming, combat and boss challenges in the style of "trials"(not the term they use). they actually do something interesting here...

so the "in-between" is accessed through portal like tears during your standard playthrough, when you enter you will come across a traditional roguelike pathing(events) choice, you do this all with your character in the playspace, it's not a menu which is interesting. after choosing, you are teleported to the challenge... at the end of each, you will find the same event choice map to choose where you go next. juuuuuuuuust be aware... during platforming challenges, hazards are a "one-hit fail"... just be aware. if you fail, you get sent to the end with your option of where to continue your normal run from where you left off before getting side tracked with the "in-between" portal.

it's a lot of fun.

i'm assuming this might be a hidden gem... but support this team, this is a great game.

Most of what i love about "Marvel's Midnight Suns" is present here!

- environment interactivity
- position planning
- team attacks(sync attacks)
- field hazards
- character specialties

And more, all resulting in combat skill creativity and agency. Something i always wish for, and am disappointed that it isnt standard to most if not all modern tactical turn based combat games is the ability to undo.

- this has an undo button!
- also you can act in whichever order you like! You can move first and attack second or vice versa...

- you can move one character, move another and move your third to then jump back to which ever character and use their attack after... oooor you can move two characters... attack with one on those you moved then move your third or etc etc...
- the roguelike aspects and modifiers(skills and passives) are well utilized here.
- this is a very chill game that can become... not so chill if you choose...

Theres sooooo much to love here, an outstanding genre switch for metal slug.

THIS IS A HIGH RECOMMENDATION AT FULL PRICE SIMPLY BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF CONTROL YOU HAVE OVER EVERY ASPECT OF BATTLES. If its on sale... grab it, no question!!!!!

-important note... you can quit the game and jump back in at where you left off, whether thats in battle or etc.

"AY FREAKSHOW! your goin' nowhere... I gotcha for three minutes! three minutes of... playtime!"

Dude... easy recommend wtf lmao!!!!!

DETAILS:
no but seriously, the gameplay... dynamic economy, the unique approach to combat movement, artifacts.. simulated living world... there is a lot here to enjoy. the voice acting during story moments are fine, enjoyable if a bit limited in range. it's not a negative at all... it does make the story easier to digest.

MAJOR NOTE: "Age of Fear Free World" is not a good representation of this game at it's finest to any degree... Free World is more of a demo of the series' combat without the prep or customization of the full game which does drastically change the feel of combat A LOOOOT! also, battle tasks seem to be waaay more enjoyable in the full games. battle tasks are optional challenges that appear for each missions that when accomplished, provides bonus rewards for each battle.

there is a loooot of content here, and a surprising amount of agency. outside of combat there are narrative events that trigger and are presented via dnd prompt window that provides story with voice acting and player choices that do actually have consequence.

open world events and the option of daily open world events to be refreshed is great, but to be clear, the open world is clickable boxes that pop up on the map... your not controlling a character with the ability to walk around... just dont go in assuming that. it does not detract at all though from this game. the quirky character voice acting in battles just... ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ I love the references lol. theres a lot, and its seriously great and brings a bit of levity to the aspects of battle that can be stressful(stressful lie any other game, not unique to this. not jank, its pretty polished).

thats another point... contrary to the appearance and the game's art work, this game is vey mechanically polished.

VERDICT:
this is a must grab at full price! An easy recommend... and if on sale, GRAB IT!!!
easy to pick up and play, save anywhere even during any aspect of combat, fun reference humor, tons of surprising depth and etc etc...

(UPDATE AFTER 30hrs)
uhhh, so this is a new favorite of mine now.. SUPPORT THIS DEV lol :3 seriously though, it's a very addictive and solid experience for both those looking to master the battlefield or just looking to chillout.
