Makis Adventure

Bon petit metroidvania, mais qui a pour défaut d'avoir une fin rushée. Dommage. Mais dans l'ensemble, je me suis bien amusé.

Wasn't sure what to expect at first, but there's a lot to like about this! Part of the fun for me was to see what would happen next, so I'll only encourage y'all to give this a try. The entire game is also fairly short, so you'll get around to everything quickly.

"such a cool-looking 2D metroidvania" "many fun ideas squeezed into a two-hour experience" "Both a lesson and an inspiration for other budding creatives" 5/10 Full review at https://darkzero.co.uk/game-reviews/makis-adventure-pc-review/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4uqy363vsg&list=PLCw43T4Hpduj0pdB3Ey0TOUVNup1BXf4X

Makis Adventure

gutes spiel

Makis Adventure is a fun and short 2.5D Metroidvania with side scrolling stages as well as an open water aspect that you will use later on to travel to different islands / biomes, it's about a character named Maki who ventures to take revenge on the monster giant Octavio who is ravaging the nearby seas. The open water aspect is fun which you can use to embark on nearby islands and complete them with many secrets and puzzles to solve. The developer was inspired by hollow knight designing this game and I really found it fun. Your character transformers into a shark the moment you touch water surfaces and goes back to his normal form once you're out of the water. The Controls were super solid and Transitions were smooth, I didn't face any bugs. The Dev released a major update recently which includes fun Mini Games and lots of polishing and bug fixes. I have tried all the mini games and they were a very nice add I can say. The soundtracks were great and the boss fights were amazing, not very challenging yet very fun to tackle. You will meet many NPCs on your journey who will offer you side quests for rewards. I can say the game was entertaining and short at the same time and it's really recommended if you love Metroidvanias in general. Overall Rating 10/10

Its not bad but a bit janky. The game is made by 1 person so props to him. The story is nonexistant basically. Theres a weird unnecessary 3d section shoehorned in for no good reason. The attack animation and non-boss combat is a bit janky with choppy animations. Platforming is decent but wall jumping can be finnicky. There are a good number of boss fights and theyre all unique. The game is super short, theres some time wasting minigames and side quests if you want. You unlock some new shark forms for puzzles and navigation but no real new weapons and only 1 total move, all you do is money is buy health potions basically. Its not a bad game and works well enough. You could do worse, and it gets a barely recommend from me. 6.5/10
