Cue all the "git gud" commentsI went on this today for the first time, I died on the 3rd room came back, then I died on the 3rd room and came back, then I died on the 3rd room and uninstalled.
Back to Art of Rally.
I don't play these style of rouge like games so I suck at them, I just wanted to see what all the fuss was about after seeing the reviews on Steam when the game launched.Cue all the "git gud" comments
I'm in the same camp tbh. Tried it today on the gamepass, I'm gonna give it more time (just got the bow n arrow so it changed it up a bit). Does seem very repetitive though.I don't play these style of rouge like games so I suck at them, I just wanted to see what all the fuss was about after seeing the reviews on Steam when the game launched.
I am not saying it's bad, it ran smoothly and looked good but it's not my type of game.
Grime does look good, but it’s PC and Stadia only atm. Hopefully it will come to consoles in the future.I have this on pc, got to last boss but didn't win, played around 25 hours, it is repetitive, but it is also very addictive and apparently even when you beat the final boss you haven't completed the game. But one game I'm currently loving is grime just came out dark souls metrovania, indie game only cost me £8.00 and its brilliant.
Game Pass seems too good to true. I wonder how much longer it can go on in its current state. It's like being given the keys to the toy shop when everyone else has gone home.It’s funny how some games click for people and not for others. I had no interest in Hades (or the ascent) but decided to try both as they’re on gamepass (Gamepass!!!) and loving both. Player a couple of hours of Hades this morning and can’t get passed the lady boss but can’t wait to give it another try when my sons I’m bed tonight
The cross saves on the Game Pass version work between Xbox and Windows Store versions.Got a little bit excited about the prospect of cross saves but it's still only Switch to Steam or Epic. Dang it!
I wouldn't say that's anything to ding it for. 2D is every much as valid as 3D. Personally I love the art style, especially the character portraits. It's really well done.I didn't like the art style. Didn't like the gameplay (repetitive, button mashy), and let's be honest, this game could have been released on PlayStation 1 with nothing changed bar the screen resolution.
That's useful to know. Especially if you're buying it for the first time now and want to do a bit on your PC and a bit on your XBox. I just had the vaguest hope that they might have cracked cross platform saves so I could keep my Switch progress. But nope. Official announcement to say that it won't be happening due to technical issues.The cross saves on the Game Pass version work between Xbox and Windows Store versions.

I did see someone comment on the announcement to say the lack of cross platform saves meant that their time playing it had been "wasted" which made me chuckle. As if all their time up until that point had been completely joyless work put in only so they could play the same game on a different console. Some people are nuts.
you completely missed what is this game about. IT is very deep game with large mechanics, it truly opens up after 30-40hrs of gameplay. First 20-30hrs there is zero boring, as game constantly throw at you new ways of play and you master you way of fun as you build your build. You will need grind constantly and there is great level of progress of character... no bad run is wasted, you will keep farmed ingredients to use for growing your character and new run will be better and better. It is 9-10/10 game also to me. Just pure gameplay, you will forget about time. just let the game open to you...I got this when it first came out on PC a long time back, and I've never really understood and adulation it gets. The combat is fine and the visuals are nice enough, but there's just not much to it.
The loop is basically this - clear room of enemies, clear room of enemies, clear room of enemies, die, listen to some NPC dialogue from some inanimate 2D heads, repeat.
It's okay in short bursts, but I get bored pretty quickly. I need more variety, something more than just endlessly fighting monsters in rooms. Psychonauts 2 is out on Game Pass soon and that looks so much more appealing than Hades, at least to me.
Opens up after 40 hours...?! Blimey. I can count the number of games I've played for that long on the fingers of one hand.you completely missed what is this game about.

Life's too short, frankly.
