I'm Addicted to this New Metroidvania [ Ultros Review ]

Ойындар

Ultros is a solid addition to the metroidvania space - with a time loop mechanic (sentient life resets, plants do not), solid platforming, and some of the best music I've heard in a game in a while.
While no individual mechanic of the game is 'best in class' - it does combine solid or better implementations of each, to create an excellent cohesive game.
You can find Ultros on steam @ store.steampowered.com/app/23...

    This game is gorgeous. It's rare these days that you see a game that has such a unique aesthetic. It's refreshing.

    Honestly when I first saw it, I fell in love with the style, but was afraid that it would be hard to play due to readability, but even without the accessibility options it's really easy to read while playing :)

    @@Alzorath Considering your motion sickness I'm surprised the fewer frames wasn't an issue. It's tricky with games with styles like this because not everygame can be handdrawn or quicky artstyle game can be cuphead.

    eh, camera motion is what gets me usually (or FoV) - though the framerate of individual characters/objects in this doesn't feel bad, since the game framerate is solid, you constantly have something moving.

    Thanks for making a great game :) - definitely looking forward to your future projects as well. (and I'm honestly surprised at the sequence of events that lead to that on stream - the perfect storm lol)

    game, and it's music, are solid too - the music at times almost reminds me of Outer Wilds...

    Beat it after 45 hours of gameplay this morning and did not 100% the map or trophies, but goddamn, does it start to get frustrating later in the game lol Everything about this game aesthetically is incredible. Beautiful designs and the music is great. The storytelling is a bit rough and some of the game mechanics are just really tedius, but my ass would immediately buy a 2nd game upon release lol

    this is a beautiful looking game that i would love to play the sequel for if the sequel actually had good gameplay instead of busywork

    The visuals are great but there is something that feels a little bit weird about the animation and the movements of the protagonist. Walking looks... slippery ? Imprecise ? After playing many 2d platformers / metroidvania that are so "crisp", precise and reactive, I fear that will annoys me and reduces my fun. Hmmm, damn. I really crave a good metroidvania... but is that it ?

    the controls are more in line with classic metroidvanias, not more modern 'souls-like' inspired metroidvanias - it's subtle, but it's kind of like the difference between something like classic mario/sonic and something like meatboy/Celeste.

    Bottom line is its a good game with new ideas, good game play, fantastic visuals, great story that makes you think and beyond the shallow combat which could use improvement and intensity but is still fun, it has a whole nother side to the game which is also fresh and fun. Recomend it
