Ravenswatch

It's a great game, but why the DLC character's? It's one thing to have a supporter pack to make people feel special, a lot of game's do that. But why make a repetitive game force you to essentially "buy" even more to just experience the same again? The starter pack character's are already good enough, but why should i waste my money on a few money capped character's that will most likely just be worse than the original character's? Don't get me wrong, this is a neat game, the character's are good, but why should I shell out more money for romeo and juliet, which are a combo character, made for friends? I'm a friggin introvert like so many other's, so why should I pay for a character that REQUIRES me to play with other's? Just for synergy I suppose. The game is an 8 out of 10, combat is great, dodging can be rewarding depending on the character. But why add a DLC for paid character's that basically require you to have active friend's? Do you realize the year we are in at this current point and time? Most of us barely know if we can get a job at this time, yet you want us to spend more than the base game requires, for 3 more characters that might be awful? I like the game, but I dont like the economics behind it.

I really want to like Ravenswatch, and I’ve returned to it several times, but its core movement and combat have never felt good to me. The game is built around using limited time efficiently, yet almost every part of playing it feels unusually slow: traversal, attack animations, interactions, enemy attack sequences, and waiting for opportunities to safely deal damage. Characters feel heavy and awkward to redirect, and too many actions involve animation commitments that make the combat feel clunky rather than deliberate. This becomes especially frustrating when enemies can prevent you from interacting with important events even when they’re two screens away, which is an unbelievably myopic mechanic to include in a game where time constraints are the entire gimmick. Seriously, why is everything so slow and bumbling? I understand the intended design: you’re supposed to learn the map, group enemies efficiently, choose only worthwhile encounters, and optimize your route before fighting the boss. But to me, the balance between deliberate combat and time pressure feels remarkably off-kilter. Rather than feeling frantic and exciting, it often feels like I’m wrestling with movement, animation locks, and tanky enemies, even late into a run. If you’ll forgive the analogy, the whole game feels like struggling against a deadline. That can be fun when the challenge is completing the actual work before time runs out. Ravenswatch instead feels like the work is already finished, but I’m fighting a poor internet connection and a badly designed website just to upload it. Too much of the time pressure comes from friction that feels unpleasant and outside the player’s control rather than from interesting decisions or difficult execution. I understand that these delays are meant to limit how much power you can gain before the boss, forcing you to use your time effectively. It just feels like they got the coefficients wrong. I can’t help but think the game would be significantly better if they sped up the whole experience: make actions and movement faster, reduce the inertia or whatever causes the horrible “tank-turning” feeling, make ordinary enemies faster but weaker, make the bosses stronger, and zoom the camera out a little, even if this comes with less time before the boss or a slightly different system entirely. With sufficiently fast traversal, and given the existence of teleporters, the map could even be made larger without wasting more of the player’s time. The only elements I can praise this game on are the art and the "quest" traits; those are fun. The rest of it just doesn't feel good.

good

Yes!

Very fun roguelike with great combat and cool character. Good roguelike if you enjoy a tough challenge, especially with friends.

5/10 Gra nie posiada głównej fabuły, każda postać ma swoją historię do odkrycia osiągając kolejne levele. Te same powtarzające się mapy, może i są nieco przebudowywane umiejscowieniem eventów, ale Hadesy robią to po prostu lepiej. Coś tam na multi z ludźmi da się pograć, ale zabijasz bossa 3 poziomu i nic, zero satysfakcji gdyż fabuły brak.
