General Gaming / Re: 4th Annual NWR Four on Four

« Last post by M.K.Ultra on Today at 01:37:17 PM »

Three on three as I rolled credits on Cult of the Lamb on the Playstation 5. I knew as soon as I saw a preview of this game on a Devolver Digital direct that this was for me. For the uninitiated this is a self-described cult simulator. It actually combines a village sim (e.g., Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley) with a dungeon crawler (e.g., Binding of Isaac). The juxtaposition is done well within the context of the game and both halves form a refreshingly addictive game loop. Speaking of juxtaposition, the style here mixes cute with demonic in such a cool way that I really felt a connection with the game. I can make super cute animal friends and dress them up and then go ahead and brainwash them mushrooms (see image above) or lock them in a pillory or much much worse.

I did play this couch co-op with my partner who handled the village sim half while I wreaked havoc on the missionary side. This is available on switch but the review on this site mentioned performance issues and honestly, the PS5 struggles to keep up at some points. They really layered a lot of systems and when you have 20 followers the game has a tough time keeping up.

I was going for completion but the two DLC updates added on to the collectibles enough to really double the playtime of the game. I played a little bit of the post game and it adds mostly to the dungeon crawling half so I found myself mostly setting the village on autopilot while I went out on more missions. I think I am done for now but intend to go back for the platinum trophy at some point. For now, it is full steam ahead on my fourth game which I can definitely finish, but want to 100% complete before the month is out.

I’m happy I read this ignorant review instead of jumping on the hate this game band wagon, this entire review is a guy hating on what made games so popular and the reason why a lot of of starting playing , random encounters, equipment optimization using the blacksmith like in every other suikoden game lmao, he’s just another lazy kid with ADHD that can’t pay attention log enough . It’s ok though my kid hated this game too 19 years old and I can’t get him interested in anything he has to pay attention too. Stop hating on games like this do us all a favor and avoid all games that require any type of patience and concentration

It's one thing to disagree with a review & the conclusions the author reaches, it's not ok to be rude or insulting.

Oh man. I was not expecting this review…

As a Kickstarter backer who's played a bit of his copy and found it rather slow and tedious, I did. Any game where you're encouraged to just use the Auto Battle instead of actually engaging with the combat system is a game with deep-seeded problems. It's actually pretty amazing how consistent all the reviews of this game seem to be thus far. I have too many good games in my backlog right now to devote time to mediocre ones, but I'll get to playing my copy "for real" at some point in the future.

I'm rather incredulous at the devs allegedly already starting work on a sequel, because I don't think this game is going to do as well as they seem to think it will.
