Just played the demo in a couple minutes (went by really quick). May pick it up if it goes to $5. A couple of the levels were VERY dark, like almost pitch black. Is that how they are supposed to be? Or do I need to change something on my tv
@FargusPelagius I tried renting this as a kid a couple of times, never could get into it because I basically sucked pretty bad. Will have to give this one a go and see if I’ve improved! (Probably haven’t much)
My personal opinion would be that if they do reference the work to complete the project, they should acknowledge that in the credits somewhere, at least.
@citizenerased thanks for sharing the video. It is pretty funny (is that the right word here?) to see them side-by-side. I really enjoy both games for their similarities and differences. The controls in IFR do take a bit to adjust to, and I like the more open exploring available in BOTW (but there’s also something to be said about finding something around every single corner in IFR). I have 150 hours in BOTW and 90 in IFR and think they are both really fun games to play, probably because they are so similar. I thought I was going to be bothered by the Zeus/Prometheus duo, but they really aren’t talking all that much, and some of it is actually pretty funny! The stupid parts I just ignore, they don’t last too long (and the overall story is captivating, IMO). My biggest complaint is that I can’t use Far Sight to scout without revealing anything, so I just don’t use it.
TLDR it’s nice to get a fresh perspective on a game I love, even if it does take a whole lot of its mechanics.
@Desrever there’s one white/silver Lynette on the Far East side of the map on a peninsula that has a rock formation you can hide behind and just attack with lightning. Takes some time, but then you get all the equipment with very little effort.
I completely understand your points in the article. I did the same thing, but after getting/doing everything except seeds 150 hours in, I thought why not? Good closure in the game for me. Haven’t gone back since (but greatly looking forward to what’s next).
This turned out to be a thoroughly enjoyable game. Lots to do and it’s easy to choose between finding a puzzle, “shrine”, combat, or general exploration as I’ve found none of those to be too far away at any time.
Most of the time it’s just a little annoyance (and, let’s be frank, this is gaming and there are much more important issues out there [just my two cents and you may have a different opinion, no judgment here]). Playing BoTW and IFR I have noticed it occurring more frequently and the only time it’s really bothered me is gliding with Fenyx in some puzzles (I still don’t quite have gliding to a hover down and having the character move on me is frustrating).
Horror is not the first category of games I look for, but the drawings look quite interesting. I’ll be considering it just for that once it’s released.
After digging around, it seems that Far Sight is optional to use (to activate it requires certain buttons to be pressed). I think that’s good for people that want to play like me (spend time exploring) and people that want to get to the objectives quickly (through use of icons/map points). Read many reviews and first impression play throughs to find this out. Hopefully it is accurate.
The graphic differences really stand out in the Zeus/Prometheus dialog. Overall the frame rates look good on the switch. Graphics seem good enough. Comes down to gameplay. I preordered as I had some gift cards and could get this at a good discount. Looking forward to exploring the land (similar to my approach to BOTW, just took the time to go beat Ganon after 170 hours in).
I keep seeing 2010 remake and swore I played it before then. Turns out I was thinking of 1998 NFS3: hot pursuit. May have to check this out since I’ve never played before.
@Clammy honest question, do the stats show thats because the games suck or because the demo doesn’t allow player to get full grasp of game based on demo restrictions that they would receive with the full version ?

Will wait to read a couple reviews to see how it plays, but coops have been fun with the wife. Better yet, give us a demo!
If it’s good, I’ll add it to the pecking order of switch games I plan on getting.
