Possessor(s)

I really enjoyed it despite being a slightly flawed experience. Combat was very fun and fast paced(if you use certain weapons, the other options feel slightly bad) while also being souls/sekiro inspired and platforming was fun and smooth. Story was ok, slightly edgy. Art is good and the designs of characters and enemies and weapons were interesting and mostly based on random stuff you could find in buildings(though I wish there were more standard enemies since I feel like you see all of them halfway through). Main criticism is the map, it's very bad and doesn't reflect the actual terrain at all. Still had a lot of fun and especially with the bosses, mostly chill with some slight challenge in between on the standard difficulty(and there's either that or easy)

I am sad this is the game I got from Heart Machine instead of HyperLight Breaker. On a more "objecttive" side: Animations are clunky (many enemies and especially bosses float around the screen as opposed to move with the animation), enemy moves are most either slashes or energy balls, many mechanics are not clearly explained while other ones are, the story has some inconsistencies and holes... On a subjective front: while the character, weapon and enemy designs are creative, their actual abilities and use are barely relevant to their actual designs, the two protagonists are extremely whiny and inconsistent in personality, and the world is vast but not comftrable to traverse. I encountered multiple rooms which barely had enemies and had a movement challenge but no reward at the end. It's a shame HeartMachine gave up on their strong suits to write this narrative led game with barely a narrative.

Loved the story and art, the game-play was a little clunky at times but was never horrible or overly frustrating.

C'est objectivement pas terrible : les contrôles sont ultra rigides, les combats pas fluides et je ne comprend pas l'emballement de certains sur la DA (les illustrations des personnages en dialogues ou lors des cinématiques sont très réussies, mais en jeu, les environnements ne sont pas fous -pour l'instant-, je ne suis pas fan de la patte artistique). Je l'ai payé 3€ en soldes alors je ne vais pas me plaindre plus que ça mais je ne pense pas le finir, je m'ennuie dessus.

To be a metroidvania released in the same year as HK Silksong is hard. Still this game earns it's own place with incredible art style and a more character focused story. Flawed, relatable and grounded characters make the core of the game. Really satisfying traversal and a flawed, but good enough combat seal the deal for me. Not my favorite game of the year, but still worth playing if you like metroidvanias or you find it at discount. Some points to improve on: -Had a couple map collision bugs -I really think money earned needs to be scaled up. Rn you have to farm a lot if you want to buy everything. -Power scaling was a bit off, when you get a couple health upgrades all the bosses come tank-able -No invincibility after getting hit means you can get stun locked and loose your entire health bar when facing multiple enemies at the start of the game. This gets really frustrating, specially if you don't find the health-upgrading NPC on time (like it was my case)

самое гейское гейство что я видел два фембоя не смогли чето там поделить и обиделись друг на друга геймплей всратенький, порой вообще ♥♥♥♥♥ не понятно, что от меня хочет игра и куда мне нахер идти гайдов полноценных практически нет из-за того, что об этой игре знает полтора землекопа и один r34 художник по крайней мере я могу похвалить графику тк она довольно хороша 0 отсосов за обезбол из 10

缺点挺多的，但是可玩性很高能消磨挺多时间所以还是好评的，打斗和boss也不是很困难，存钱功能很好使，不容易浪费，各种商人距离传送点和篝火很近，方便使用，美术和剧情也都ok 下面全是缺点: 地图只显示大区域不细分各种岔路小路，经常以为能走的捷径结果到位置了发现是死路 任务虽然显示，但是引导巨差，能力获取又十分分散，好几次都不知道下一步该往哪里走，甚至后期获取能力了有些地方也不懂怎么用，水流那个能力还有下砸叶子能跳更高，这些都是不看攻略完全搞不懂，部分捷径单向道，跑死人了 收集物品除了升级用的完全没有抓取引导，龙虾这个无意义的收集还非常不明显 太要命了 传送点太少了，后期哪怕攒够物品想先去升级一波都因为路太远所以直接boss，boss奖励也很少 成就为何全隐藏，想白金目前除了收集和boss也不知道还有啥 ，只能随缘达成

Metroidvania sólido com algumas decisões de design questionáveis. Tem uma variedade baixa de inimigos mas não chega a ser um problema. Acho que muito desse jogo funcionou pra mim por ser uma experiência mais direta ao ponto - tem os objetivos no mapa, por exemplo - e isso, pra mim foi agradável. O combate tem o "problema" do stunlock bizarro mas isso é algo que da pra relevar quando você pega o jeito dele. Encontrei somente um bug e nada mais que atrapalhasse a experiência com o resto do jogo. A história é bacana - o desenvolvimento dos protagonistas é lento mas existe e tem um final bom! Sinto que possessor(s) poderia ter tido bastante mais coisa mas os problemas internos do estúdio devem ter atrapalhado bastante no desenvolvimento - algumas coisas parecem só "incompletas", mas ainda consegue ser uma experiência sólida que só você jogando pra dizer se vai gostar ou não.
