He logrado terminar este juego después de haberlo comenzado cuando lo compré originalmente, entre 2012 y 2013. Y tras haber logrado finalizarlo, entiendo perfectamente porqué en aquél momento lo había dejado olvidado. Empecemos por el principio. Tipo de Juego y Estilo Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams es un juego de plataformas lanzado en 2012. Su estética es bastante bonito, con gráficos en tres dimensiones con texturas de colores vivos y llamativos, intentando imitar las ilustraciones de los libros de fantasía para niños. Quizás el aspecto menos atractivo lo tenga el propio personaje protagonista: una joven adolescente de cabeza deformado, cuyo vestido y peinado se mueve con el personaje a medida que éste salta y corre. La sensación es que el modelo del personaje es basto, y aunque la física funciona bien con el movimiento, parece que no hay muchos polígonos que mover. Mecánicas La mecánica básica del juego consiste entre cambiar entre las dos “personas” o identidades de Giana, una oscura y punk, y otra grácil y de princesa. Así mismo, el mundo alrededor de Giana cambia según la personalidad que utilizas: Giana princesa avanza a través de un mundo oscuro, tenebroso y decadente, como si estuviese perpetuamente atrapada en Pesadilla antes de Navidad; mientras que Giana punk avanza por un mundo de ensueño y color vibrantes, enfrentándose a búhos, tortugas y conejos de pascua. El cambio entre ambos mundos e identidades se produce con tan solo pulsar un botón, haciendo que todo el escenario cambie y, en algunos casos, afectando también a los elementos del mundo con los que podemos interactuar. Las propias capacidades de Giana son diferentes según la identidad que asumas. Si bien ambas compartes la mayoría de sus capacidades, como saltar (una sola vez), trepar por librerías o enredaderas y eliminar a sus enemigos saltando sobre ellos, Giana punk puede salir disparada como una bala y eliminar enemigos y obstáculos, mientras que Giana princesa puede girar en el aire para simular un doble salto y descender lentamente. A lo largo del juego, tu objetivo es recorrer el escenario de principio a fin intentando obtener cuantos más cristales de colores mejor. De nuevo, habrá cristales que ambas identidades de Giana puedan coger mientras que otros solo podrá tomarlos una u otra identididad, obligándote a pensar tus saltos y movimientos para maximizar el número de cristales obtenidos. Uno de los puntos fuertes de este juego, en mi opinión, es que los escenarios están diseñados para sacar el máximo provecho de las capacidades de Giana. Comienzan siendo bastante sencillos, pero a lo largo de sus tres mundos y sus veinte escenarios, estos se van complicando considerablemente. No solo debes desarrollar una alta capacidad de reacción para cambiar de identidades y encadenar saltos, cañonazos y vueltas, sino que los escenarios te van proponiendo nuevas mecánicas: bolas de chicle con los que flotar, turbinas que te hacen ascender mientras giras y partes de agua, entre otros. Además, los escenarios son muy bastos, contando con numerosos lugares secretos y objetos ocultos que te animan a explorar cada rincón del escenario en busca de qué te has podido ir dejando atrás. Unido a un conteo de los cristales que obtienes en el escenario, los objetos secretos que desbloquean arte conceptual y el contador de muertes, este juego promete muchas horas para aquellos gamers que disfruten mucho de las plataformas. Dificultad del juego Y el contador de muertes es importante, porque vas a morir. Y mucho. Si bien los primeros escenarios son sencillos y el número de muertes suele ser bajo, pronto estarás necesitando diez y veinte reintentos para poder continuar avanzando. Afortunadamente, el juego no se hace muy pesado en este aspecto, contando con numerosos puntos de guardado que te ayudan a continuar avanzando sin tener que repetir algunas partes más difíciles o tediosas. La escala de dificultad está bastante cuidada, siendo los últimos niveles de una dificultad, en mi opinión, bastante elevada. El problema viene en el boss final, que tiene un pico de dificultad enorme. Fue aquí donde dejé el juego en su día: me fue imposible vencerlo tras numerosos intentos. Y no solo eso, sino que las fases de bosses (que son tres) no solo continenen el boss, sino que además tienes que hacer la fase al completo hasta llegar a él. Puedes haber hecho un escenario perfecto y quedarte atrapado durante horas ante el boss, sabiendo además que si lo dejas tendrás que volver a hacer el escenario otra vez. Conclusión Ése ha sido mi caso, y sin duda el aspecto más frustrante del juego: después de más de una hora y sesenta reintentos, he logrado terminar el juego que dejé a la espera en 2012. Me quito con esto una espinita que tenía clavada desde hace mucho tiempo, quedándome con un regusto dulce ya que el juego, aunque algo antiguo, me parece un buen juego de plataformas. Pero sin duda, una espina que había estado molestándome durante los golpes que sufrido contra el muro que es el jefe final de este juego. ¿Quién sabe? Quizás me anime a instalar y jugar el DLC que publicaron en 2013.

Good enough to keep me playing through the end, but some janky gameplay & mismatched pacing between regular levels & bosses make it a "meh" for me. Marginally recommended.

Core mechanic is quite enjoyable albeit sometimes confusing on the controls, and the levels with their aesthetic swapping are pleasing. Mostly forgiving on base mode but quite difficult opt-in challenge modes (time, score, collection and deathless). That last boss though, frustrating.

It scratches that platformer itch but has its problems. There are two modes you can switch between freely: a slow fall mode and a dash mode. You use those modes to collect gems while working your way through the level. The art and the music change with the mode; switching is seamless and feels good. The game difficulty is moderate to hard. On the easier end for platformer veterans and probably a bit difficult for people who only play the odd platformer. There are three bosses. I found them fun and fair but again probably difficult for people who don't play a ton of platformers. To unlock bosses and progress further in the game you need an average rank of three stars on each level in that world. Stars are awarded by collecting gems and having as few deaths as possible in a single run of a level. I didn't have any problems unlocking them but they are locked. So if your the type of player who hates replaying levels over again it will annoy you and you will be locked out of later levels. My annoyances with the game are the colour palette and not having a level restart option. The game looks nice but I find with the colours that some of the gems will blend in with the background making them easy to miss. Unfortunately the same is true of a few obstacles. Some spikes are only active in a certain mode, but sometimes its hard to tell at a glance if the spikes are active or not in your current mode. The game is really good at telling you what mode you need with gems but if you die and return to the last check point that visual clue is gone on later tries. Lastly some of the invincible enemies are hard to tell at a glance. They have spikes to differentiate them from normal enemies but they don't stand out as much as a I would have liked. The no level restart is annoying if you are trying to 100% a level (going for max stars, score, or time) but less of a problem for casual play. If you die or make a mistake and know you can't beat whatever you are trying to you have to exit the level and reenter. Not a huge deal but it quickly gets annoying if you are struggling and have to do it multiple times for the same level. All around I did really have fun with the game. I would recommend it with the caveat of getting it on sale for at least 80% off which it regularly goes on sale for.
