Really want to play this. Especially after the years of buildup. I kind of wish they didn't stick with the name, but it's not a big deal. Might just seem weird 10-15 years from now. But I still have a lot to play. I've barely touched Sinking City or Metal Gear on GBC. And I still haven't finished the new Fire Emblem.
Apparently this game is only like 90-120 minutes long. Which is great! Short games are my jam anymore. I'm looking forward to playing through it this weekend for sure. And it's on sale for $5 off for the launch, too.
I made this my one game to get this month. It's 25% off right now at launch and I had over 800 points to use. So I nabbed it for under $10. Hearing that it's only 90-120 min long, if true, makes me happier I paid a budget price for it.
I played this for about 25 minutes yesterday, and... it's cute! Nothing mindblowing. And also I'm stuck. But the dynamic music is good! And the presentation is slick. Kinda just an adventure game.
Finished it this morning! It's definitely the tightest point-and-click adventure I've played, for sure. Polished presentation, no downtime, and none of the frustration that's so typical of the genre (though I am still stumped on a couple of the tasks, thankfully you can finish the game while skipping one or two in each zone).
It only took 2-3 hours for me to get to the end, but doing so does unlock a To Do As Well list that gives you some more challenges, some of which you may have already completed (I had 4 of them already crossed off). I'll definitely go back and do those and the tasks I skipped, and maybe the Time Trials-esque challenges where you have to do the regular To Do lists before the church bell rings.
I wonder if the game's doing as well as its popularity online seems to indicate.
Uh, wow. Guess that answers that question. Glad to see this one's such a huge hit.
Cool to see Jedi Outcast so high, too! I'd consider picking that up, but I feel like it's a game that benefits tremendously from mouse/keyboard. Having access to all the force powers and weapons at once on different keys is so much better than having to scroll through them.
I was about to say what the heck is Membrane but it's 99% off so like... what is it a couple of cents? Still, it's a weird system that lets some nobody game rise to the top seller list just because it does a massive sale. I know a lot of indie devs that talk about exploiting this to get their games onto lists.
