The Messenger

这游戏真不算银河城吧，地图设计几乎是全程线性的，又没有成长元素的也能算银河城吗？感觉还是归为横板闯关或者平台跳跃更合适。 我是比较喜欢玩跳跳乐的，这跳跳乐手感还行，难度也没多高。但就是感觉不够有趣，而且用键盘玩感觉有点反人类了，有几关差点把我食指给按断了。 BOSS设计感觉可以用一坨形容了，游戏本身就是完全没打击感的（参考终焉的莉莉丝），砍怪毫无反馈，有些BOSS不锁血的话就纯白给，锁血的机制BOSS因为机制设计的一般又显得又臭又长，点名蓝袍子和DLC的图腾，真的一坨。 玩的时候有几段游戏体验真不算好，但就冲着这游戏的叙事我还是愿意给个好评，和NPC对话真的太有意思了，感觉中文翻译也给这游戏增色了不少，后期驱动我继续玩下去最大的动力就是想看看老板还能整出什么样的骚话。 评价为可以玩，但最好还是降低期待，感觉网上有些测评有点吹过了。

Şahane bir yapım.

Game rules. OST is S tier.

I love this game. Everything in this game is so good, like they actually made it with love, Good music, good history, and of course excellent gameplay. I played for the first time when epic games gifted in 2019, since then I bought it and 100% in every console and steam. My favorite game ever.

The Messenger is such a well crafted labor of love from its' 8-bit/16-bit Ninja Gaiden inspired visuals, to its' outstanding soundtrack and amazingly entertaining dialogue between characters. This is from the team at Sabotage Studios, whose most recent work was Sea of Stars, which is a prequel to The Messenger. Both games are phenomenal and I highly suggest trying them both out, even though one is a side-scrolling Ninja Gaiden/Metroidvania-like, and the other is a Chrono Trigger inspired RPG with a combat system along the lines of Super Mario RPG. The game starts off like your basic old school Ninja Gaiden, but as the story opens up it evolves into a "dual timeline" style of gameplay that switches between NES and SNES levels of visuals and audio. With this separate timeline mechanic the "NES" style is in the past and the "SNES" style is in the future. There are parts of most levels that require you to complete them in the past or go into the future to complete tasks such as acquire a plant that takes centuries to grow. There is also a floating companion that comes along with you and if you die, it literally bombards you with insults and even requires you to pay a fee for dying. I can for a fact, say that I have never had more fun dying in a game to see all the witty insults your companion throws at you. The gameplay loop overall is simple enough as you progress and earn upgrades, but figuring out when to be in what timeline in a certain area adds some complexity as the game progresses. Some solid challenge definitely awaits as later levels ramp up the intensity and precision of platforming, which will keep you on your toes. All in all, The Messenger is a great game from top to bottom and it leaves no question in my mind why it won Best Indie at the TGA 2018. Pros -Great visuals, spanning the 8-bit and 16-bit era -Absolutely jamming soundtrack -Fun and addictive gameplay, especially when you get all your movement upgrades -Nice varied stage locals -Jukebox functionality -Some of the funniest and most fourth-wall breaking dialog ever -Never has being told to "get good" felt better -Pretty cool dragon riding Side Scrolling Shoot Em Up segment -You can feel the care and love that went into making this game Cons -Maybe a few more upgrades to unlock -Some of the Prophecy clues could be a little misleading in my opinion if you were trying to figure them out without having to purchase a hints from the merchant -Would like to have a boss rush mode -Backtracking at times was a just a wee bit tedious (the option of choosing which teleport gate you come through could have fixed this) -Holds true to that old school side scroller "if the screen scrolls too far and then you go back, the enemies respawn."

Çok kaliteli bir oyun. İçerisinde ücretsiz story dlc'si de var. Biraz retro havası veren platform oyunudur. Kesinlikle Devolver Digital'in en iyi oyunlarından birisidir bu. Tavsiye ederim güzel vakit geçirmelik bir oyun.

I stopped at the temple of time for a few reasons. -Theres a lot of platforming, and when you die it brings you back with half health. That's fine, but there's a few different things that insta kill you. I wish there wasn't because I'm fine with losing one health and having 3 different tries on platforming challenges, but it's different everytime, and I wish I could have a clean slate when retrying a platforming challenge. -The movement is a little janky when it comes to the extremely precise platforming that this game requires. -Why do enemies come back when they're offscreen. It make's the platforming harder than it needs to be and needlesly complicated. - There's only one direction that you can attack something, so If things are placed below, or above you good luck! It was a great game while it lasted. I liked the boss battles, characters, and music. Unfortunately I lost my patience and I asked myself why would I waste my time on a game like Hollow knight when I can just replay Hollow knight.
