I'm trying to get into this game because I kinda like the story and the art style is really interesting, but the difficulty is simply ridiculous. This is a turn based game, there's not a lot of skill involved, it's more about planning the fights, but some of these are just stupidly hard, with enemies having moves that can one shot you. I think I'm gonna stick to it because I'm already kinda interested but I do not recommend it, the difficulty isn't fun in any way, it's just frustrating. Oh and changing to a lower difficulty setting does nothing as far as I can tell.

Giving it 3 stars because I didn't pay for it and it beats scrolling on my phone or lying in bed looking at the ceiling. It kept me amused for a couple of hours but every ending I achieved was disappointing, whatever the game's trying to do just didn't vibe with me. If you get the chance to play it for free, I recommend it, it's entertaining in the same as entering a free art gallery to see what weird thing is on display. It's nowhere near the worst game I've ever played but it is the most overrated.

It's a fun game, the setting and story are pretty cool but the game mechanics are far, far from perfect. I could make a list but I'm just gonna mention the worst offender, hats. There are a ton of hats and a lot of gems to buy them, the hats do nothing but make your rot (tiny creatures that help you) look different, and the crystals are good for nothing but buying hats. I can tell you, after the 3rd or 4th time I made an effort to reach a treasure chest only to find some stupid hat or a bunch of gems, I was done with it. The useful to useless reward ratio when you explore is so tiny it makes not want to do it and hats and gems soon start to feel like the game is mocking for exploring. I still hope we get a sequel or at least another game set in this world, I definitely enjoyed my time there and the weird New Age vibe it gave was really soothing, despite the challenging gameplay. Definitely worth the 20 hours I put into it.

There are things to like in this game for sure, and if it was the only game I had available, I'd certainly play it thoroughly, but I got the game on my PS+ subscription and I don't want to spend time playing something I'm not completely engaged with, so I dropped it. I think my biggest issue is with the combat, it's just there, it's nothing special, and I don't think this game needs to be about the combat, but as you progress, enemies become tankier and tankier, by the time I was in the second planet, I think, it took over 20 bullets to kill even the most basic enemy, I found myself standing face to face with it shooting my gun point blank, and the hp bar would barely change. As you move on there are more and more enemy encounters, and most side quests revolve around fighting something. If at least there was more enemy variety or the planets looked more different from each other, I would've been able to put up with the boring combat, but it felt really lame that I was in another planet facing exactly the same enemies, with basically the same scenery. Anyway, it just wasn't the sci-fi experience I was looking for, it's an ok game, but I'm glad I didn't pay for it.

They game looks really good but my question is, how come Star Fox 64, a game from about 2 decades ago is so much more satisfying to play? The gameplay felt really clumsy, aiming is terrible and evasive manuevers are practically non-existent, I played for a bit because it was visually appealing but got sick if it pretty quickly. Also, the whispering was really a terrible decission.

It's alright, the puzzles are fun and the game is pretty but there were many parts that felt tedious or boring. Sometimes you're just watching the screen with very little happening, others you have to pick up fuel for your ship, but you can only carry one at a time and more often than not the stuff is pretty far away from your ship, so you find yourself doing the same trip over and over. In general, the distances that you have to traverse without doing anything else are too long especially considering the limited speed of your character. By the time I reached the final part of the game I honestly couldn't wait for it to be over.

I'm going to use a strange comparison here. I'm a huge fan of Foundation and FF7. When I played FF7 Remake, I had a feeling I was playing a more fleshed out version of the game I loved, sure, there were some differences but the characters felt the same, the plot was essentially the same, and all the extra stuff just felt like it was adding depth to something already great. To an extend, the Foundation series was doing that in the first episode. In the books, we know the Empire is collapsing but we don't experience that collapse, the series showed how it was happening. However, by the second episode, I couldn't recognize the story or characters anymore, I quickly stopped caring about the whole thing. It's a shame because a lot of the new elements and characters could've made for a very interesting retelling of what might be my favorite story.

As a long-time fan of the original game (I played it as a teenager) this game feels like a gift. I never thought I could experience my favorite game all over again and enjoy it just as much or maybe even more than I did the first time. I love every aspect of this game and I especially like how it adds substance and character development to the original story, it really makes you care about characters that were pretty unimportant in the original game. Anyway, super excited about this game and the ones to come, I still can't believe they actually went and made this and it was such a success, us fans are really lucky.
