Just played the opening scene. It's not unplayable, but yeah, definitely buggy.
With the caveat that I'm definitely not sensitive to FPS drops and the like, I thought it ran great. No problems playing and finishing the game.
why do you hate my bank account
Yeah, reading into it online. The getting stuck in walls thing is very real and a major issue down the line.
How is that any different if someone does hacks/cracks via the SD card? To me both the SD card and hard drives are both external storage media. Ugh I am already juggling games with archiving them and I do not want to shell out the money for a 1TB card.
This is depressing, was gonna pick this up soon. While I love the Switch, it really bums me out the bad ports we get some times. Then other Switch ports like Ori and Cuphead are amazing. Doesn't make sense to me.
Always great to see another person experience the awesomeness of Impossible Lair. It only gets better as it goes on - some of the state changes are truly inspired. SunBroDave tagging you here as the game's biggest fan.
Thank you for the heads-up, I'll make sure to check them out.
Thanks Nabbit I'd never miss an opportunity to extoll the virtues of Impossible Lair. It's a fantastically well-designed game. The difficulty and layouts of the levels themselves, all the things you can discover in the overworld and the ways it interacts with the 2D levels, the way character progression works and how you can come up with new strategies via the perks to make levels easier or maximize the amount of currency you pick up. The way it pulls a Breath of the Wild and lets you tackle the final challenge from the very beginning. It all just works together so incredibly well together. And the music. Goddamn is the music good.
the reason is that you can't play a game off your external HDD and take the Switch out of the dock without everything exploding. nothing to do with hacking.
I like that it's basically a foregone conclusion to you that I'm buying this.
I should get back to CrossCode but I really don't want to. I'm in the second dungeon and the dungeons are far too long and tedious.
2 great games! CrossCode might be my GotY and Spiritfarer is a ton of fun, though I'm worried about running out of steam during it's second half. Can't imagine finishing either on anything but the switch.
As above, CrossCode is easily GotY calibre. Buy with confidence, you won't regret it.
One of my favorite games on witch. Would love a sequel/side project using the same mechanics/design philosophy. Maybe leave out the swinging mechanic you get towards the end since it didn't always work how you wanted it. Other than that though, no gripes at all.
I don't think it lives up to the hype personally, but if you want a more 8 bit styled Metroidvania, then it fits in that wheelhouse well. For me, there was an over abundance of weapons that didn't serve any real purpose and some of the mechanics were annoying. It also seemed like the end was more rambling than exploratory, but that is personal taste. I will say the visuals and music are top notch. I think it's worth a play on sale but it has been passed by many other games in the genre since release.
