Afterimage

I hate those green flying things you have to jump on. The mechanic is awful. Otherwise the game is nice.

你们还活着吗？我死档了，我在打42之后的暗塔线，我的地图有两个猫头鹰，我想联系你们QQ群，但是我联系不上，我就差一点就看到结局了我需要帮助，而且本该出现在王城图书室的猫头鹰没有出现，但是在时钟彩蛋位置下方的花房子里猫头鹰一直在，我联系不到猫头鹰了！我没法推42线了！

9 / 10. The 50h exporation metroidania To be honest, Afterimage is first and foremost an exploration game with very good metroidvania and tight platformer elements. This game is big and the exploration elements do it justice. Couple this with very beautiful and rather unique art style and you have a game that at least needs to be admired. Sound, music and voice acting is also up there and it complements the visual elements very well. Gameplay wise, this is a typical metroidvania game with some distinct elements, but I cannot say I've seen anything too outstanding here. It does copy some other known games from the genre, but it mostly has it's unique feeling. It features a skill tree, some permanent abilities and some passives, besides the usual equipment. Now, what makes this game a hit or miss is balancing. You can go 30+ hours in the game and still be at about 10% of the total achievements. That is because there are 8 endings and for the "true" endings you would require certain objects. Now, this is where the game drags on for about 10-20 hours. There are a number of high-level optional areas that don't add too much to the table gameplay wise. Yes, the art style is beautiful, but there's not that much content there. You mostly unlock all but 2 abilities by this point and getting the last two, to then grind for everything is not that fun. Doing 100% on this game is kind of annoying and will require a good map, as there are a lot of hidden or puzzle areas that do not appear on the map. There will be a helper skill at a certain point, but it's not all that useful. Still on the balancing side, bosses are rather easy for the most part (with some exceptions) and you can beat them even if they are 30+ levels above you. I've picked up so, so many potions throughout the game, but I never got to spend the all basic health potions. There's also a way to put items on the hotkeys, but besides that basic health potion, I haven't used anything else throughout the game. Magic would be powerful, but mana regeneration is a pain. It probably would be possible to do a mage build, but then you will loose on the +Drop Rate or +Exp Gain items, that are essential for 100%. After beating the game, there is a thing called New Game+, but it's anything but that. Instead it is a small side story of about 1h, that unlocks area in the main game and also a few new endings. Overall I found Afterimage to be a game that does it's own things in a surprisingly high quality manner and that's why I'm willing to go past it's balancing issues, as it does serve a solid experience. Other recommendations: - some metroidvanias with something different going for them: Dust: An Elysian Tail, the Shantae series, the Guacamelee games, Cave Story+ - a weird mix of different genres: Dex - the classics: Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, Castlevania: Down of Sorrow (and most of the metroidvania part of the series), Super Metroid - the art-style reminds me of some anime fighting games: BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger, the Guilty Gear series (and other Arc System Works games) - wildly different, but great story and unique mechanics: Jade Empire

sb游戏，玩到64级我都不知道在玩啥。没有任务指引，任务要干啥都不讲。

Heureusement que j'ai écouté des spécialistes du genre sur Youtube (comme Metroidvania Guru) qui le disaient excellent. Je ne sais pas d'où vient cette note "basse" sur Steam, mais moi j'ai adoré. Une exploration aux petits oignons, dans une carte sur laquelle on peut placer 500 marqueurs ! Au niveau des boss, je dirais que dans l'ensemble ils ne sont pas marquants. Pas parce qu'ils sont mauvais, mais parce que notre personnage est complètement op. Même en difficulté "avancé", que je recommande d'ailleurs à tous les fans de metroidvania, on roule bien fort sur la plupart des boss. Pas marquants mais quand même très amusants, et le jeu est diversifié dans tous ses aspects (boss, monstres, armes, styles de combats, biomes, musiques). Il n'y a pas de plateformes vraiment difficiles. Mon seul bémol ira au déplacement rapide. Il aurait été bienvenu qu'on puisse revenir à notre dernier point de sauvegarde sans avoir à quitter la partie. On se retrouve à quitter la partie souvent car ça va beaucoup plus vite pour revenir au point de sauvegarde.

Excelente jogo para quem gosta do estilo aventura \ metroidvania. tem um visual bonito e atrativo com uma jogabilidade viciante. Vale cada minuto jogado.

又香又臭的一款游戏，玩完有些不舍也有些解脱，完全没有二周目的欲望，指引如果能做的更好一些可能会更好一点，aeterna noctis比这款游戏难很多，地图但是都差不多大，但是那款游戏的指引更好，给的反馈也更好，只能说中规中矩的游戏，有自己的特色，但是同时也有很多同类游戏的影子，尤其是空洞骑士和aeterna noctis，武器平衡也做得很不好，却也有着自己的特色，整体不失为是一款合格的游戏，感谢陪伴。
