Demon Tides

What is here is absolutely brilliant. This game goes hard. If PS2 kids would see this game, compared to -yours truly typical- 3D platformer, then the gameplay would've melted their brains. You don't feel like an empty fast food bag in the wind. You have precision, you have style. Everything is so customizable from the get go to get you started. Graphics are excellent. Every little thing you do has a expression and in general, the characters have much expression. The colors are so good in this. Audio is from an another world. There's no way. Some tunes are just flat out gangsta and it fits the game like a shoe. I need to get this one finished, or else I am not ready for Bubsy 4D. Absolutely mesmerizing experience! For 20 bucks on sale, you can HIT YOURSELF 20 times in the head with a frying pan for not giving THIS GAME a glance. I was blown away by the level of detail and technicality. If you love 3D platformers, you are doing an actual disservice to yourself to not pay any attention to this game.

If you like a Hat In Time you'll most likely love this. If you haven't played AHIT (what is wrong with you) you will still probably love this game. In summary: Iz gud shiz plz play

Absolute MUST play if you are a fan of 3D platformers. Spawning a new subgenre of "expressive platformers", Demon Tides is a shining example of what modern 3D platforming games should play like. It plays similarly to Super Mario Sunshine and A Hat in Time, with some elements of Wind Waker thrown in with the map exploration. Only real problems I have with the game is the camera being ♥♥♥♥♥♥ at some points causing me to fail some platforming. This isn't a complaint but the controls were difficult to get used to at first too, Beebz feels super floaty. Once I got used to the controls, the game felt like butter.

I'm a massive fan of 2 Mello and 3D platformers. I expected to like this game, and I did. The art direction and soundtrack are fantastic, and the movement is smooth once you get used to it. The "expressive platformer" moniker that they use shines through. Most platforming challenges have multiple solutions and it's clear that they left unintentional solutions alone, which I like. This game nails its flow and it feels great to master the movement. I really appreciate the extra tools the game gives you to help 100% it; I wouldn't have gone out of my way to collect everything if the magnetism talisman didn't exist. Demon Tides isn't perfect by any means, though. - For a fast-paced 3D platformer, the default FOV is borderline unplayable if wanting to go any faster than walking; I had to crank the FOV to the max to have a fun experience; otherwise you just don't get information quickly enough when moving around to do good platforming. - The camera control is great! ... when the game doesn't take that control away from you. Any moment when Demon Tides forces a camera angle on you is jarring and jagged. Super messy and not smooth in the slightest when transitioning between forced control and free camera areas (the anti-gravity sections are a very good example of this issue). - The cutscene animations are notably reminiscent of Sonic Adventure 1 in their clippy, jagged movements that never quite felt natural for the characters, which is especially weird considering how beautiful the 2D art is for this game. It feels like the models were not designed to be looked at up close. I was left wishing the 2D art was used for the plot instead of sprays. - The moment-to-moment dialogue felt forced in much of its comedy, and the story really comes across as a vehicle for the gameplay. It's passable, but only passable. The characters are very charming, but painfully one-dimensional. - This game's combat is ... questionable. The feedback between getting hit and hitting your enemy is just not there most of the time. I think the sound design is a little lacking in that regard and it makes combat feel super off. - It genuinely might've been a settings issue, but I had a bunch of very funny rendering issues while playing. Islands appearing right in front of me and characters T-posing until I got too close, that kind of thing. It didn't actually impact gameplay but was very funny. I think it speaks to the quality of the movement, art, and soundtrack that I had this many nitpicks and still loved the experience. The devs know what they're doing and with some polish a masterpiece is on the way. This game was super fun to relax and move around in, and if that's the experience they were going for, they nailed it 100%. Looking forward to their next release.

A really fun big open world 3d platformer, really nice movement from the character and beautiful stylistic environments thanks to the art style.
