@dcim48035 ай бұрын
This is true actually Avium was carzy
@KaitharVideo5 ай бұрын
Avium is 100% a Kojima parody, old school MGS riffing all over... run the checklist: "Cutscene, the game"? Check. "Way too much dialogue to mash through"? Check. "Tight combat mechanics when you actually get to play it"? Seems so. "Encounters you can cheese mixed with encounters that kick your ass"? Seems how I remember MGS "Female character subplot where she dies the first playthrough but you can save her in NG+"? 100% check "4th wall breaking boss instructing the gamer how to solve an encounter"? Darkness is budget PsychoMantis. If it was constructed this way intentionally then it's a masterpiece.... not one I'd want to play, but that doesn't detract from it... if it was constructed this way accidentally, cause someone took this as important bits of a Kojima game and laser focused on them, I'm terrified what they'll release next.

That one in particular I could see people unironically playing for fun, which is more than you can say for most games on Steam. Congrats to the dev of Slay the Minotaur for making a good game! :)

Honestly "Slay the Minotaur" seems like one of those titles that could get massive if a streamer found it, even if the art style is a bit on the "Runescape Classic" side (that isn't a bad thing just saying "Pretty privilege" is as much a thing in gaming as it is real life and games that choose eclectic art styles tend to suffer for it). While the Infirmity seems like crap as far as what the devs included. If you're making an FPS then an aim down sights mode is the bare minimum, even putting aside that every gun in the game seems to have a Hollywood Gangster lean.
