Laika: Aged Through Blood

belleza de juego, lo único malo es no haberlo conocido antes

Definitely one of the games I really fond of playing, The gameplay is pretty good a little grindy but fun to mess around with the arsenal. Controlling the bike is kind of frustrating at times but its pretty easy to get used at, since the checkpoints are usually pretty close to the annoying parts of the area where u usually die alot, yeah the checkpoints are really tame in this game theres alot checkpoints scattered around each area and every part of the map makes dying not much of a problem and a breeze of air on progressing, (Since you drop a bag which holds your currency everytime u die Just shoot it u dont have to go past it). The music is absolutely phenomenal and the fact u can change it on your own will is pretty great than having to wait or go to some area to listen the music u really like. music in this game really sets a good atmosphere on the wasteland its really that neat. Absolutely recommend this game whose fond with difficult metroidvania. I dont really give tips but, learn from your mistakes.

Не сильно сложная метроидвания в уникальном сеттинге и, что важнее, с интересной базовой механикой перемещения и боя. Кататься на байке всегда приятно. Не стоит ждать чуда, есть косяки в управлении, балансе и игровой экономике. Но это точно стоит того, чтобы потратить на неё своё время.

As a fan of the Metroidvania genre, I am always happy to see a game that stands out from the crowd. That doesn’t mean Laika is a perfect game, but it is certainly a unique one. Most of that uniqueness comes from getting around on a dirt bike. It takes some time to get to grips with the controls and master the combat, which requires you to backflip to reload your weapon. I wouldn’t call the combat hard, especially since enemies are static and Laika has a generous checkpoint system, but you may need multiple attempts to get through certain encounters. The same goes for the boss fights. They are quite simple, and the game saves at the beginning of each boss fight, so there are no more frustrating boss runs. I enjoy the graphics and the art style. Even more, I freaking love the look of modern 2D games such as Laika, Spiritfarer, and Tails of Iron. I also like the atmosphere of the game: post-apocalyptic despair and fatalism. What really caught me off guard was how dark, and even brutal, the game can be. At the very start, your daughter tells you that her friend was crucified with his own guts. The whole game isn’t quite that grim, but it keeps that bar high until the end. On the downside, I don’t feel like the game gains much from being a Metroidvania. All the necessary elements are here, but you get the abilities in a strict order as the plot advances. At any given time, there is only one real way forward, and the only point in visiting inaccessible areas is to grind resources. There is also plenty of backtracking because of side quests. While some help set the tone and reveal more backstory about the characters, others feel frustrating and more like chores than meaningful activities.

This game is so damn good! Excellent soundtrack Very emotional story Cool art Gameplay is really fun My only complaint is that you kind of have to grind for a lot of the upgrades.

Buena estetica, linda historia y personajes bastantes buenos. La jugabilidad es original pero es aburridisima, las mecanicas son super basicas y terminan aburriendo, el mapa es ultra corto y aburrido de recorrer y, las misiones secundarias nos sirven para nada, ni siquiera te dan buenas recompensas, hacerlas o no, no cambia nada. 7/10
