    I think simple games are wonderful. For new gamers or people who are wanting to get into gaming, these type of games are a godsent. A new gamer can take their time and see why experienced gamers love to play video games so frequently. For experienced gamers, I think it’s nice because sometimes in life you just want something different. Also not all experienced gamers love “first person shooter” games.
    I think just because it’s not the typical game in which you gravitate towards, doesn’t mean that it isn’t a good game. Even if it does fit your overall play style, doesn’t mean it can’t be for amazing for another gamer.

    It is amazing how many 3D platforms still come out without drop shadows or other markers directly under the player.

      It really bugs me. Why not have a subtle cue to where the player is in 3D space

      If I remember right even the remade Spyro games didn't have it. It's a core feature and I couldn't believe it either.

    Just picked this game up and started a playthrough on it last night. The game is solid, you can tell the devs put alot of hard work into this game. It's beautiful and the story is calm but keeps you intrigued atleast to the point where I'm at. Good review!

    The precision jumps and perspective they have done on purpose. The Main Challenge of this Game is to time right your next move, jump, time heights and distance. Its add so much more to this game, and leads to clever planning your way. People complain, the controls does not work perfect. But it was designed this way. In perspective of the age of the man, the environment moving forward and backwards, on which terrain the man stand the game reacts to the player. when yoiu spin a lilly pad the old man finds it difficult to run on it. Compare you are walking on a record that plays. You will slip when you move to fast, right?. If you jump from a point too high, the man cannot land properly and save. If something too far away the old man cannot reach it. All this things you have to think about it when you play this game and it makes it so much richer the experience. So its easy to say the game has bad controls but the right Question to ask is why.

      sure, but it's also good design to give cues as to where your player is in 3D space.

    Despite not being a big fan of melancholic or otherwise feels-tugging narrative-centric games, the time-altering mechanic looks very well done and creatibely executed. Hopefully that can be a mechanic in more games.

      If you don´t want to cry, don´t play Rime. If you cried with the first 10 minutes of Up, I don´t recommend you that game. If you want an absolutely emotionally devastating game, play it. I can´t tell you anything about it, otherwise I´d ruin the experience. It´s a really really good game, I love it so much, but I have to warn you: maybe you will be fckd up an entire week after finishing it.
