Yeah, it's pretty much as good as Super Metroid. Except the part where it's thematically interesting, or has a cool story and setting and protagonist... of course, those things don't matter as much as the gameplay, which is very good, except of course, for the completely unintuitive level design and exploration, thousands of different roadblock variations that always deceive you, and you know, when it's not fun. No seriously dude, just don't. You might really like Axiom Verge and I can see why. I played that game for a good number of hours and I too think I'd have loved it if I didn't get tired of aimlessly wandering around because every new power-up I acquired never opened the roadblock I thought it would. But just don't compare it to Super Metroid, please. It doesn't deserve that. |
Sounds like you just had a bad experience with it. That's fine. I disagree with what you say about it though(except the gameplay which is great). The level design is excellent. Story and characters are cool. Music is great. It does take a while to get all your upgrades, but that kept me hooked. Looking for the tools to keep going is fun. I don't get frustrated by stuff like that. It makes you think outside the box. If you get stuck, its your own fault. I beat the game in about 13 hours I think. Got stuck a few times, but figured it out eventually. The boss fights are big and epic as well. The game is actually a challenge. I felt great after figuring out how to move on and eventually beating it.
And this game is made by 1 guy. Its amazing imo. So yeah, it rivals Super Metroid any day of the week.
