Last Vanguard

No. Just no. It started promising and the exploration is nice but there are way too many frustrating, tedious and plain unfair stuff to recommend, even with infinite money and infinite health. - All bosses and many enemies are damage sponge, even on Easy. - Many bosses summon minions that make the fight even more annoying. - Your passive abilities are automatically unequipped when you change your weapon. - You can only fast travel to the main camp, the main train station or the latest checkpoint. - The recon bot has AWFUL controls with AWFUL inertia and it self-destructs any time it gets too close to anything. Good luck aoiding to become insane when trying to move through the narrow trapped passages. - There are not nearly enough differences between the difficulty modes. I mean, Easy just gives you 1 more HP and a few more i-frames when you get hit! - The camera is way too close to the character so you will often take damage because you fell in front of an enemy on onto an environmental hazard. - The double-jump is ridiculously low. Also, what's the point of implementing a double-jump if it's available from the start? - The Energy bar is used both to heal and to use other active abilities, so you probably will only use it to heal. - Sometimes, the games shows you that you opened a door but it doesn't tell you where. - Some features are not explained and impossible to guess. For instance, the game never shows nor tells you than you can pogo jump on stuff by whipping downwards. Nor that, in the Factory, you need to move some platforms by whipping when you're on them. Yet both are required to progress. - You can't put markers on the map. Don't get me wrong: it is an impressive job for a 2-persons team but there's been an obvious lack of playtesting.
