Trippy

nice

fun and challenging little zelda game, lots of puzzles everywhere

Do not purchase this if you are playing on steam deck, the performance is woeful and the game is cpu throttled, you will get as low as 32fps in the tutorial area, potentially lower in the main game, and no setting you change can fix this

See performance report from the decks monitoring tools https://ad.gamersky.info/@steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3247297845

I cannot imagine how bad the game would play on the minimum specs cpu

Processor: Intel Core i3-2100 | AMD Phenom II X4 965

One of the better metroidvania games made. Combat is on the easier side and not the focus, and you can make it easier further if you want. Some bosses may prove a challenge if you do not seek out all the upgrades.

It's more focused on exploration and hidden secret routes, small platforming challenges to unlock alternative quick routes

The story is surprisingly decent as is the characters and setting

Word of warning, if you do the black and white dlc ending, which is the complete ending, you cannot currently get the main game ending, but it's a short watch on YouTube

Best one of the series yet, and the longest

Great MV game, tons to explore, lots of movement skills, satisfying combat, responsive controls. Runs on anything.

Compared to ribi, its got a decent story with full japanese voice acting that is actually easy to follow this time.

Pretty good MV, if you liked hollow knight, or haiku the robot you'll like this

Customisable difficulties (can't change mid game yet dev might add it)
Very big map
Lots of travel abilities, tight controls
Optional kaizo platforming sections to unlock something
Varied environments each with a unique style and different enemies with new patterns of attack
Optional areas and bosses, hidden areas
Spell system, hold B to heal system, medals to equip with limited points to tailor your build

Music is a bit bland in the 4 or so area's I've been to, plot is serviceable but nothing special so far
Parry is ludicrously difficult to time but there are medals to make it easier

Absurd course that has you putting on walls and ceilings while keeping your viewpoint on the same ground.

Looks cool, plays awfully. One of the holes is played entirely on a ceiling for reasons. Imagine looking up the whole time for that.

Some holes that don't go onto walls or ceilings are fine however.
