Gecko Gods

🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎

I thoroughly enjoyed Gecko Gods, though I am afraid that I did have some challenges that kept me from fully loving this game. The gecko you play as is undeniably adorable, and I was excited to be able to unlock extra cosmetics through gameplay (though, admittedly, I only liked one cosmetic aside from the base option). The game immediately was very endearing and made me want to keep playing and discover more of the world. However, I found it challenging to understand some quests and their pacing. There is a moment in the game where you unlock the ability to travel away from the starting area and I somehow went further away and ended up being unable to finish certain puzzles and quests. I was able to use the in-game quest manager and map to realize my issue and backtrack to earlier quests that I hadn't finished, despite unlocking and sometimes almost entirely solving later quests. I think that if there was some sort of an alert indicating that you're progressing before you were meant to - or a roadblock entirely - to prevent you from jumping ahead would be helpful for other players. Aside from that issue, the puzzles were neither too easy or too difficult and instead felt like the right amount of challenge for me. I found myself celebrating figuring out each puzzle regardless of its difficulty, along with my community (I streamed my gameplay on Twitch). The ending sequence was very fun and exciting, leaving me satisfied with the game and story while still making me wish to learn more about the Gecko Gods.

Cute, fun game with entertaining mechanics. Really enjoyed the final level. Played with my non-gamer partner and she really liked it which is always nice.

[h1]ヤモリの良さが詰まってる！[/h1] ※English is following. 爬虫類好き、ヤモリも当然好きなので発売日に即購入！ しかも、パズルアドベンチャーというところも好みに合致していて 「私の好きな要素だけで構成されているゲームだ！」という印象ｗ アクションの特色としては、主人公がヤモリであるため壁や天井すべてに張り付いて這い回ることができる。忍者よりすごい。 上下左右、引力無視、縦横無尽！！ どんなに切り立った懸崖だろうとスルスル上り下り！ その前提で隠し要素の遺物も設置されているので、見つけるのがかなり難しかったりするｗ しかし、そこも含めて楽しい部分だと思う。 ゲーム開始直後の操作説明部分で「ダッシュ」の効果がわからなかったので、 それを使うことで壺を体当たり破壊できたり、攻撃的な生き物をやっつけることができることに気付くまでに いくつもの島を渡り歩いてしまったｗ 途中、ゲーム内通貨を使用して体の色を変更できるパネルを見つけたりしたが、所持通貨がゼロだったので 「どうやって通貨を入手するのかわからないけど、まぁそのうち手に入るんでしょうね」 と思っていた。 実は、壺を見つけたら片っ端から体当たりしておけば最序盤から通貨を集めることができたとはね！ｗ 火の玉みたいなものを撃ってくる敵も、ただ避けてやり過ごしていたけどこっちから攻撃もできることにそこで気付いた。 この敵と一緒に閉鎖空間に閉じ込められて、全部の敵を倒さないと扉が開かないというイベントが発生して初めてダッシュの用法を知ったぜ☆ でも逆をいえば、そういうイベント以外ではダッシュを必ずしも使わなくてもゲームが進行するという意味にもなる。 バトルはゲームの中核を担っておらず、あくまでオープンワールドでの探し物にフォーカスしているので探索が好きな人にとってもオススメの内容だ！ それから、3Dのゲームでは一定条件下で画面に酔うことがある人間として、「自動カメラ機能OFF」を選択できるのはすごくありがたい。 これができるだけで、TPS目線の3Dゲームはかなり酔い率が下がる！ 欲を言うと、もう少しだけカメラを引きにすることもできると嬉しいかな？ 屋内だとカメラが壁に埋まってしまうこともあるため、キャラクターとカメラの位置を自動調整にしているのだとは思うけれど、 周囲を見渡して何かを探すことが多いゲームなので、もっと視野を広く取れると嬉しい場面が多い。 しかし総評としては、予想通りの「私の好きな要素ばかりで構成されているゲーム」だとわかったので以下の人にオススメしたい。 ・爬虫類/ヤモリが好き ・パズルアクションアドベンチャーが好き ・バトルはあってもなくても良いが、難しすぎない方が好き ・探し物が好き 当てはまる項目が多い人はきっと楽しめると思う！ [h1]It's packed with everything you love about geckos![/h1] As a reptile lover, and naturally a gecko lover, I bought it immediately on release day! Moreover, the puzzle adventure genre also suits my tastes. "This game is made up of all the elements I love!" is my impression. The action features include the protagonist being a gecko, allowing them to cling to and crawl on walls and ceilings. More impressive than a ninja! Up, down, left, right, ignoring gravity, completely unrestricted! They can easily climb and descend even the steepest cliffs! With this in mind, hidden artifacts are placed throughout the game, making them quite difficult to find. However, I think that's part of the fun. I didn't understand the effect of "dash" in the initial controls section, so I wandered across many islands before realizing that I could use it to smash pots and defeat aggressive creatures. Along the way, I found a panel where I could change my character's color using in-game currency, but I had zero currency, so I thought, "I don't know how to get currency, but I guess I'll get some eventually." Actually, I could have collected currency from the very beginning by just smashing into every pot I found! I also realized that I could attack enemies that shoot fireballs, which I had only been dodging. I finally learned how to use dashing when an event occurred where I was trapped in a confined space with these enemies, and the door wouldn't open until I defeated them all. However, this also means that you don't necessarily need to use dashing outside of such events to progress through the game. Battles aren't the core of the game; it's focused on finding things in the open world, so it's recommended for those who enjoy exploration! Furthermore, as someone who sometimes gets motion sickness from 3D games under certain conditions, the ability to select "Automatic Camera Function OFF" is incredibly helpful. Just being able to do this significantly reduces the likelihood of motion sickness in third-person perspective 3D games! Ideally, it would be nice if the camera could be zoomed out a little more. I understand that the camera position is automatically adjusted to prevent it from getting stuck in walls indoors, but since this game involves a lot of searching around, a wider field of view would be appreciated in many situations. However, overall, I found it to be exactly as I expected—a game composed of all my favorite elements—so I would recommend it to the following people: ・Those who like reptiles/geckos ・Those who like puzzle action-adventure games ・Those who don't mind if there are battles or not, but prefer them not to be too difficult ・Those who enjoy searching for things If many of these apply to you, I think you'll definitely enjoy it!

I really loved running around as a lil gecko in this game. The patter sound of the little feet, climbing up on the ceilings, changing my color all the time; it was all so very satisfying. I enjoyed exploring the islands and looking for the little puzzles. It was really relaxing and the gecko yip sounds were so darn cute. Getting the Gecko God origin story for gathering all the collectibles was a nice touch as well. Become gecko, live that lizard life

Good game, peaceful and fun.

A very relaxing lovely puzzle and mild exploration game. The controls are amazing, and for every time they are difficult to wrangle, you remember the 1,000 times before they worked great, especially the nature of the freedom of movement in the game. You play as a little Gecko, which can go "pleeh!" on command. 10/10.
