Are there any games made by a solo dev that are good? It seems like 2 is the magic number. Does Vambleer work alone?

Andrast posted:I think bloodstained felt fine when I tried it Same. There's some bugginess with movement that's been pointed out over and over but nothing that couldn't be fixed. Though I did enjoy that the Katana dash attack just loving teleports you if you use it on the edge of an platform because it's super broken.

Andrast posted:I think bloodstained felt fine when I tried it i guess i'd agree with that. it seems like a perfectly bog-standard, boilerplate, mediocre castlevania carbon copy indie game. except that it's coming off one of the most successful video game kickstarters of all time with literally 100x the budget hollow knight had. i was hoping for something a bit more impressive than "perfectly competent blandness". also the fact that they thought it was a good use of resources to have every single line of hideously bad dialogue voice acted with 150% emotional intensity, especially the loud moans of pain the main character lets out every time she gets a new ability, was really loving dire

So Octopath Traveler is the new SaGa Frontier? Because "review the game at the first credits screen" is taking me back to '97.tap my mountain posted:Are there any games made by a solo dev that are good? It seems like 2 is the magic number. You'll have to define some restrictions because even "solo" devs get assistance, just like very few manga (at least the syndicated stuff) are truly solo works. Stardew Valley and Papers, Please were largely one person, same with basically every roguelike that wasn't built off open source.

I saw a preview for Death's Gambit and it looked great with some amazing music as far as 2D Soulstroidvanias go, but I've seen zero hype over it.

Why is there no JoustFightmania genre? See, I took ballon fight and joust and combine them to come up with that name. Anyway, when is Nintendo going to realize Balloon Trip is one of the greatest experiences in video gaming?

I think you could make it that way if you only did half of the character's quests. You could pick a party of your four favorites and leave the rest.

The new backer demo felt even more like a follow-up to Ecclesia, so honestly if you think its bad the Metroidvania style Castlevanias just aren't for you, because Bloodstained feels just like them to me as a fan of those games. I also think none of the indie Metroidvanias have been as great as the genre namesakes. I liked stuff like Guacamelee and Pirate's Curse, but none of them measure up to how much I loved Metroid and Castlevania. Accordion Man fucked around with this message at 21:31 on Jul 10, 2018 |

i liked all the metroidvania castlevanias and order of ecclesia is my favorite of the ds ones so i don’t think that’s true. also hollow knight is the best metroidvania i’ve ever played.

If someone tries to review Sonic Adventure 1 but they only play through it with Sonic then their review is invalid and they are probably a narc. Sonic Heroes though I wouldn't hold anybody to that same line of thought though.
