Lost Ruins

Genuinely one of the worst games i have ever played: - Random fps hitches and plenty of bugs. In my 3 hours of gameplay i have managed to get stuck in the wall unable to move once, and then twice i got a bug which made the loading screen not fade out. But you know, it's a unity game, so it is to be expected. - Extremely unresponsive controls/animation locks. Platforming segments and combat require you to count pixels towards your targets, you have nearly no leeway with distances. - Horrible hitboxes and attack telegraphs. Plenty of unreactable bullshit. - Game tells you there's a focus on "survival" and "exploration" and then proceeds to give you two passive hp regeneration items (which make all hp consumables useless as you can just run away and stand in a corner for a minute to heal), gives you a quest which fails if you open a treasure chest (who on earth has thought that was a good idea), and marks all quest-related items on the map so you don't actually need to search for anything yourself. - I don't mind suggestive content at all but the protag is very obviously underage and it all feels very dirty. Getting bad vibes in that direction Maybe buy this game if you enjoy driving needles under your nails as a pastime. Otherwise, there are plenty of other much better metroidvanias.

It's a pretty brutal game that expects you to figure a lot of things out on your own, but there is a lot of variety to how you can craft your character's approach to the game's challenges. Plus, you can play it on story mode to just enjoy exploring the environment and reach the ending without a lot of struggle.

Great old school 2d metroidvania with some souls like mechanics. Challenging, very enjoyable, and great art style. Highly recommended!

A really fun game. It was great going from "I'm having trouble killing the second boss," to melting the final boss's health. And Boris was a great character to come across. 10/10 would recommend to others.

Fantastic game. Definently worth 100%ing. My favorite ending is [spoiler]the one where my GOAT Boris finally figures out how to use a lever[/spoiler]

Quick game, fair mechanics, good design.
