Rainbow Billy: The Curse of the Leviathan

Просто ужасно. Нарисовано хорошо, но в остальном все очень плохо. Игра про дружбу, понимание и все хорошее, но эти диалоги настолько тупые и неестественные, что просто подташнивает. Идея боев любопытна сама по себе, но в таком виде играть абсолютно не интересно. Способности некоторых врагов просто раздражают. Сейчас сражаюсь с oowoo, нужно выставлять бойцов с голубым значком, но враг сразу их всех удаляет с поля боя. И как побеждать я не понимаю. И вдобавок куча раздражающих мелочей, которые можно легко было поправить, но нет, пусть дополнительно бесят. Например, когда собираешь кучу друзей на корабле, половину прокачал. А потом насобирал предметов, хочешь прокачать остальных, но не помнишь кто прокачан. Приходится либо в списке смотреть, запоминать, а потом в игре идти по ним. Либо обходить всех. Вот сложно было добавить прям в игре маркер, что вот этот чувак прокачан до 3 звезд?

Fun enough game. I set the difficulty to "normal" which was quite easy, but I think harder would have been less fun because (I'm guessing) higher difficulty would just mean you might do less damage per turn, and by the end the combat was really dragging on a bit. Too much repetition for me in that arena. The puzzles were a reasonable level, not difficult but not nothing, which is probably right for a game that's not primarily a puzzle game. The graphics and story are cute. Playing on Linux with Proton, there were a couple of glitches - an interesting one that I've never seen before, where at startup there's no sound, and then about 30 seconds after startup everything freezes for 5 seconds then the sound starts working. Usually when there's a weird startup freeze it's before the main menu. The other glitch was near the end of the game, the portal at the end of the third "core" chapter, went to a scene with just the ship in an infinite black void. It seemed like the sort of thing that might be intentional so I drove around for a while trying to trigger some exit from that scene, but eventually gave up and exited the game, then when I reloaded it came in on the actual final chapter, which has no boat part at all. Weird bug but at least it resolved itself. Encountered one other bug in chapter 2, where exiting between "keys", when I reloaded it put me on the other side of the second door before I had unlocked it, which made some events play out out of order, but again, it all resolved to plot continuation in the end so no big deal.
