Hirogami

There is no other way to say this but this was a bad game. Poorly designed game. A miserable gaming experience. Which is unfortunate because I really wanted to like this game. I was excited to play it at first then the more i played the more apparent it became this was a terribly designed. Awful platforming, questionable level design, a fixed camera that made me want to pull my hair out, and combat that was so atrocious combat that was NOT needed or warranted. The list of complaints and nick picks goes on. I'm sorry but this was a pain to play and by the end i didn't want play anymore I didn't care about it at all. The only redeeming aspect left is the transformation system which feels like it the part of the game that was well made. The fluid swapping between the different animal forms and the variety of uses of those forms throughout the game was good but sometimes I questioned the need or point of the humanoid form. I don't know. I don't care anymore.

Y'know, I liked it, but I think this is one time where I get the low reviews. It released on the same day as Silksong. I applaud the bravery, but a delay probably would have helped the game, especially if they ran a public closed playtest just to iron out some of the collectathon hurdles that people have with the game. Same issue Tembo the Badass Elephant had, which is kind of a completely different platformer, but weirdly the same flaw! Oh yeah also the story makes approximately half of a lick of sense.
