Crypt of the NecroDancer

Would I recommend it? Personally, no. I didn't enjoy it, and I feel that there would be more people disliking it than not. Course', given this game's high rating, it has more of an exclusionary factor to it. A lot of people like really difficult rhythm games, this being one of them. This game is in part a rhythm game. Most normal people aren't exposed to these kinds of games, though. If you get a fighting game, you don't immediately go gunning for the online competitive multiplayer because you're going to get destroyed. Most normal people would steer clear of it. Does this game have merit? Sure. Admittedly, I haven't played it in a while, and realized I haven't written a review for it. From memory, though, I don't remember having a good time with it. There isn't a large introductory section either. I know I've only played for twelve hours. I was exposed first hand to this game, and it's difficult. You need patience to learn this game, and I do not have that patience, and cannot justify acquiring that patience, for what I understand to be about a decade old game that I don't think most people care about. The enjoyment you may get out of grinding this game in terms of getting better at it just isn't there for me, and while I have no idea what the general consensus is for normal people, given my experience was terrible, I'd have to think that most other people's experience would be poor too. The people who like this game likely were already good at rhythm games like this. Another aspect of this game's high rating may very well be that people buy this game cause' they've heard about it and think it's cool, but much like the rest of the games they have on their account, haven't played it enough to the point where they can say they hate playing it. In short, I have my justification for not liking it, and I have my justification for not recommending it to people.
