Being good at Spelunky is not mastering every possible situation. It's knowing when to say 'hell no' and run from it.
@de_ffy Жыл бұрын
I feel like that's true to an extent but sometimes running away doesn't solve the situation and sometimes there is no option to run away.

One of the greatest things about the Spelunky series is that because you don't unlock anything, you're just as equipped on hour 1 as you are 1000, only your own growing skill is what dictates how a run will go.
@de_ffy10 ай бұрын
yeah me and my friends have had stupid arguments about roguelikes vs roguelites saying that a big difference is that traditional roguelikes don't have stuff like unlocks. The only thing to rely on is your skill with spelunky which makes it feel much better when you succeed.

The mole is quite dangerous due to how large of an area it covers. Pretty much every other enemy stops being a threat if you leave the room it's in... But moles are eternal. Unless you take time to kill them on sight, (which takes some time to wait out) you can get ambushed while dealing with other threats.

I mean the enemies/traps aren't hard to deal with on their own, but them combined can lead to you having to think, and the 3min timer ia rushing you so alot of the time you've going too fast to think through about the caveman's corpse getting yeeted into you Also after playing for a long time your brain is literally too lazy to think haha- is it just my first attempts that are better than usual- Also because of this most of the time it doesn't feel like it's your own fault for dying, since most of the time you're the one who's not careful enough...maybe because of the timer or just laziness idk Also a small nitpick about CO, I'm good enough at the game to get there consistently, but it's just not fun mate, like "Good job you beat the unique challenges of this game...now do it ten times over but with more insta kills and with no sense of direction, yay, I dunno it's just not fun, like at all ;-; Also yo essay with good editing from a small channel, Amazing, keep up the good work :p

Good review. As a Spelunky 2 player there's nothing I didn't know, though the video is well made. But from the title I was expecting something else, ie. an explanation of why Spelunky 2 seems difficult, but this is deceptive as it's actually not. Which would be a cool theory to try and prove. Eg. you expect such a responsive platformer to be played in a rushed or casual way, but if you take things slow, monitor your surroundings, and plan ahead, it's not as hard as it looks. There are lots of videos on why Spelunky 2 is hard, so seeing a video with counter points would be very unique, even if the video's final conclusion is that yes, it's actually still hard 😁
@de_ffy Жыл бұрын
Yeah i spent a while trying to make the video feel unique from the other spelunky videos but I couldn't find a way of making it very interesting. This video is a very basic, general overview. Maybe someday Ill make a more in-depth video.
