Philophobia: The Fear of Love

[h1] Cones of Sight [/h1] Would you rather watch than read? Me too. Check out the highlights of the gameplay here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTfM8PAi1_Y Philophobia uses the Super Meat Boy / punishing platformer gametype and adds a really neat (and sometimes) frustrating twist. As your character moves through the levels you will lose sight behind any surface that blocks your vision. This means that often the entire rest of the stage will be in darkness and you are blindly jumping down pits or running down hallways. This works for and against the game. It's a really neat gimmick, but it can cause frustration when you can't see where you're supposed to go; often ending runs before you start because some things you just have to jump headfirst into to explore. Is the game fun though? Absolutely. It's a challenging platformer loaded with secrets on almost every stage that are rewarding to try and go after. It has a really neat and dark aesthetic and the controls are tight. It's what you want in a game like this. tl;dr - Game works because of the gimmick with sight. It also makes it harder because of it. Fun in the end. Join the Curator group for more reviews like this: [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/34634494/ ] Sonoket's Lost Games [/url]

Pretty fun, but a bit on the short side. If you like precision platformers, pick this one up on sale.

Fun enough little game. Fairly simple mechanics, simple graphics, but still rewarding enough. Bosses are generally challenging and will make you hold your breath for sure. The difficulty elsewhere is manageable and not too frustrating. Main story line can be completed in an afternoon, but you will probably 2x-3x that time if you want to 100% it.

Very unique in visuals! Nice bite-sized precision platformer that's tricky at times but, for the most part, not too difficult. Collected all the heartifacts and lost souls and finished the game in about 5hrs (though it would have been nice to indicate which levels the lost souls were in somehow -_-). Not sure if it's a typo in the store-page but I only saw 5 realms to escape, not 6? Overall fun platformer to grab while on sale!

A real solid hard game with unexpected subtlety in the controls. Expect some frustration, but overcoming the challenges will charge you with FIERO.

Avant toute chose je tien a précisé que je n'ai pas encore fini le jeu. C'est un platformer die and retry comme on en retrouve beaucoup, la grosse distinction avec les autres c'est son thème et jouer a ce jeu après une rupture difficile ... c'est pas quelque chose que je conseil, si après avoir perdu l'amour vous cassiez votre clavier/manette ça foutrait un coup au moral ;) Néanmoins j'ai hâte de savoir comment on se sort de la dépression de la rupture ^^' Néanmoins le scénario du jeu n'est pas le principal attrait c'est évidemment son gameplay que j'adore il ne réinvente pas le genre mais donne quand même accès a quelque subtilité bien pensé. Une difficulté est certes relevé mais pas insurmontable, malgré la présence d'au moins un niveau que j'ai personnellement trouver très injuste ou je suis mort bien plus que 300 fois juste pour passer un tout petit bout du niveau.... La BO du jeu est exquise rappelant aisément le thème sans pour autant en devenir lourd. Un bestiaire qui se diversifie au fur et a mesure des chapitres sans en être grandiloquent n'en devient pas redondant pour autant. Tout ça pour dire que je recommande vivement ce jeu.
