    WARNING: Mediocre review inbound! 7:29 This time stamp summarizes the issues that don't makes sense.
    There are two issues I have with this review that go hand in hand.
    Problem 1: The levels ARE made to be traversed both ways. Time travel allows back tracking to be refreshing with the new style but also make those area more difficult and require more skillfull platforming making it fun and fresh.
    Problem 2: The reason the fast travel is limited is to bring people through levels with the new challenges with time travel. It also allows you to get good at the game and find new secrets you never got before.
    Summery: The game can never be as good as it turned out if these problems were "fixed." Make sure to take this review with a grain of salt.
    P.S. This was MY FIRST Metroidvania game and you said that only fans of that genre will enjoy the game and no more but I completely contradict that quote!

  • @Brandi-xc2pk
    @Brandi-xc2pk 5 років тому +31

    "levels that were not designed with metroidvainia in mind" yes it is because it is possible to beat every screen forward or backward and the enemies and hazards are simple enough that if you memorize the level design you can find the fastest way throo the screen also you said the power seals give you a true ending they dont they only give you an alternet shurikin that was a power up in the original ninja gaiden

    The switch to Metroidvania style is the best switch. I didn't see it coming the first time. And I loved it. I don't why you don't like it. The adding of switching between time etc... Plus you don't need the 45 seals. Only the notes. 45 seals are optional and yes if you wanna get them all, yes you will have to backtrack a lot

    I’m sorry, but your assessment that it should have just stuck to action platforming and no Metroidvania at all is just wrong IMO. The second half of the game was the best part. I’ll never understand people complaining about “backtracking.” This is why today’s AAA games are nothing but cutscenes and linear garbage.

    @altermann1991 6 років тому +1

    Yeah I really didn't like the Metroidvania-part of the game that much either and I'm usually someone who loves metroidvanias.
    The big problem is that you'll mostly collect keys,whose sole purpose is to unlock a new area and doesn't do anything else.
    There are only 2 power ups for you to collect once you've hit the metroidvania-part of the game and only one of them is needed to complete the game(the other one is just an optional tool,that you might not even want to use).The shopkeeper barely talks to you anymore and there aren't many new bosses/areas left anymore.
    Overall its still a great game though.

  • @NamelessOne91
    @NamelessOne91 6 років тому +4

    The criticism towards the metroidvania part of the game is fair, but I still loved it. I get it that backtracking may be a chore to many people, but for me with the new 8-bit to 16-bit transitions and the new abilities it didn't feel like a chore at all. My only criticism is that the every checkpoint should have been a travel point to reduce the unnecessary back traveling. Still, it's my second favorite indie of the year, only behind Celeste. Dead Cells comes at a close 3rd spot.

  • @TearsInReign

      Its a preference. I'm going to skip this game unfortunately, but Dead Cells is AMAZING and who knows what sort if extra content is coming next. Hollow Knight is also amazing.

    • @magevogue
      @magevogue 6 років тому +3

      @@Kingdom4Real it is all preference. Dead Cells was an overrated game. I finished it within a day and it really didn't grab my interest to keep playing. It's also overpriced. That whole gimmick starting from the very start gets boring and stale after awhile. Add that feature in any game and any game becomes hard. Hollow Knight on the other hand provides so much for it's value. It's really challenging and done overall well. The messenger looks like a decent game but too many good games are releasing soon this game won't have any game time given to it. I do like the switch mechanics from 8 bit to 16 bit. Btw good review of the game.

    Thanks Ash. You're my FAVORITE game reviewer because of your simple, clean, concise and most importantly *honest* style.
    I was originally gonna buy this game, but listening to your negative point about "excessive back-tracking" as well as "slower-pace" gameplay in the second half of the game (both of which I HATE in such games) has made me decide to NOT buy this game. I *prefer "fast action platforming" over "slow exploratory platforming"* and so, The Messenger isn't the game for me. Welp.

      A bummer that you can't take a pre-order back, since Nintendo has a policy of not giving money back for products that have begun their use, which, according to them, it has when you pre-order something digitally.
