The Lone Blade

Jeu exigeant et hyper challengeant, mais une fois qu'on a compris les commandes, les mystères de l'épée se dévoilent et valent le coup !

I played the demo of this a while back and liked it. But as I tried to play further it began to feel like I was wrestling less with my own limits and more with the technical issues of the game. If you fall in a pit you get reset to a checkpoint. Sometimes the trigger for this is so high that it triggers when trying to go over a pit (staircase section) and other times it's so low that you have to actively try to fall down low enough for it to reset from an unrecoverable position (stone pillars). There was also one part with instant death balls of sand which I feel could've been handled better, and there was another part where you have to jump down a really long pit after the checkpoint each time you die. But the biggest issue, is the camera on the rotating gear levels, and the options menu that won't let you invert (or un-invert) the camera controls (with keyboard and mouse). Oh, and the demo was seemingly removed. This is another episode in the "games that remove their demos always turn out to be worse than I remember" saga.

Je ne me lasse pas de découvrir les paysages magnifiques de ce platformer 3D, pas simple à prendre en main au premier abord mais tellement satisfaisant une fois qu'on maîtrise bien les mécaniques du jeu. Tout n'est ici qu'une histoire de redemption, de souffrance et parfois de rage pour aller toujours plus loin, toujours plus haut ! Premier jeu du Studio Indépendent OPIA Games auquel j'ai le plaisir d'apporter mon mentorat, c'est une vraie réussite qui propulse l'esprit de "Getting Over It" dans une 3e dimension onirique, desertique et quasi méditative ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I so much enjoy of discovering the magnificent landscapes of this 3D platformer, not easy to learn at first but so satisfying once you master the mechanics of the game. Everything here is just a story of redemption, suffering and sometimes rage to go ever further, ever higher! First game from the Independent Studio OPIA Games to which I have the pleasure of providing my mentorship, it is a real success that propels the spirit of "Getting Over It" into a dreamlike, desertic and almost meditative 3rd dimension.

super jeu qui donne envie à speedrun !

Game masochists will love twisting and turning this bewitched blade through the desolate desert. I, on the other hand, respect my controllers too much to rage break them.

Great game, nice visuals, challenging ! I had fun playing, no rage at all even if I had some hard moments ! The twins is a nice part of the game, have fun !

T.L.B. is a novel idea, where you control a sword through environmental puzzles and hazards. The game sounds and looks good, especially considering the small development team here, although, I found myself struggling with the cameras and it's controls more often than not. This struggle took all the enjoyment I should have with the game and made it more of a hurdle than anything else. Based on my experience alone, I couldn't recommend it, although, this shouldn't retract you from trying it, since the points I mentioned are probably due to my lack of skill. The game runs perfectly on Steam Deck. If you want to check it for yourself just press the link below: https://youtu.be/oAu58OCROPE
