Aragami

Main thing this game has going on is that it looks cool in images, as soon as you start playing you notice how janky everything is, teleportation constantly failing to lock on to proper things, AI feeling random at times where sometimes they don't react to anything sometimes they'll parry your backstab, dying after i had already killed the enemy, one level (chapter 6) refused to work in co-op while other ones were fine, balance is pretty messed up, some skills are OP some are almost completely useless. but in the end there is some fun to be had, its not a horrible experience just a very unpolished one. recommending this as just something "passable". DLC: slightly more balanced, very short, in the end its the same thing but with a different type of level design, more free, open areas with different approaches.

Aragami is a stealth game where you play as a summoned spirit (Aragami) who is trying to free your imprisoned summoner from captivity. As a summoned shadow spirit, you have until the end of the night to free her. In your way are warriors who wield light magic, but you have many different shadow powers to use to figure out how to free your summoner. Positives: Game play is nice and you have the choice of going the kill everyone route or pacifist route and focusing on sneaking by everyone. Sort of like Dishonored where there are some abilities you can only use to kill people, but I felt like Aragami has just as many powers to help you avoid detection if you choose that route. The artwork and design is very pretty to look at. The boss fights were also a lot of fun as they were tests to see if you knew how the game worked versus using only one style. Negatives: The multiplayer has some connectivity problems, in one chapter, my friend and I continued to disconnect despite the fact that I was hosting with my ethernet plugged in. This is apparently a known issue and was never fixed, so we had to complete it individually before playing the next chapter together. The guards' detection is a little weird to pickup and sometimes they'll be staring right at you when you're out of the shadow and still need a lot of time to register you're there. Neutral: The story is okay, I felt like it was too easy to predict. The voice acting is also a little weird as it feels like sometimes they'll only say the first part of the line. Overall: It's worth picking up if you enjoy stealth style games, if you have a friend it's fun as well with them, although chapter IX you'll just have to do on your own.
