God's Trigger

Наверно + за музыку и первую главу. Сюжет простой, но с какой-то интригой, не перегружает мозг. Ощущение аркадности тоже на пользу, не завышает планку. Вообще, сначала кажется что будет боевик, экшн и может слегка стелс. Но потом геймдизайн как по туториалу - со второй главы невыносимо скучный платформер с рычагами и кнопками. Если перетерпеть, то тебя встретят ещё уйма "развлечений" в стиле [spoiler] спрячься от снайпера, догони парня с секретными кодами, подбери тактику для убийства мобов, которые тебя выносят префаером и т.п. [/spoiler] . С каждой главной ощущение усталости разработчика всё сильнее, боссы рудиментарнее, сюжет клонится к повторениям, а новые таланты и способности перестают даже пытаться менять геймплей и быть полезными. Но всё же, первые три часа было весело, спасибо за ностальгию по играм с такой камерой. Брать лучше по скидке.

Can't speak for the people having issues on steamdeck or who had control issues years ago, but as of 2026 I had fun with god's trigger for what it was. God's Trigger scratched that hotline itch I've been having without overstaying its welcome at ~5-7 hours of playtime. I played solo on keyboard & mouse, and it was alright, but I could tell some of the sections had co-op in mind. Some pretty good segments; switching between characters to use their abilities/special dashes felt fluid. There were also some segements that need improvement; walking around corners with enemies instantly spotting you rewarded corner-peak-spamming with judy's ranged chains (her primary weapon) or one of the guns, which isn't a very fun playstyle for me. Some of the boss fights were also undercooked, with a lot of 'dodge until the boss gets tired and you have an opening to hit them'. There are skill upgrades, I didn't find the minor upgrades for each skill that impactful (takes less energy to charge, more range, more duration), but the perks and the unique upgrades for each skill should be enough to let anyone interested craft a mini-build. There are a few systems I didn't feel were too well integrated, like the 'marking' system. I tried using it a few times in the first chapter and eventually gave up since it didn't feel like it was paying off. Energy was a bit too hard to come by for that and the unique character skills. But using the skills felt pretty fun, and the combo meter was forgiving enough to let you rack up a pretty high combo each level. Definitely not a perfect game, but I think it's worth the 80% discount price (about 4$ CAD) for twinstick shooter fans. I can't vouch for co-op (bugs or balancing) since I didn't try it, but could be good for a couple of sessions with a friend.
