This game is absolutely a fuck1ng masterpiece in every meaning imaginable. The story is beautiful and it actually f3cking touched my soul at the end, it makes you know and care about the characters in it and the fact that they're actually endearing and memorable really sells the inmersive world building of this dystopian world. The gameplay is easy to pick up but hard to master, the controls are perfectly responsive and don't have any issues with them! With a lot of secrets and side missions to discover. I really like that there's really not anything so ridiculously hidden that you would never be able to find without the help guides unlike other metroidvanias. Everything is pretty much hidden in plain sight and it's so rewarding to discover everything by yourself! Though there's a couple of flaws that I need to adress; sometimes the gore and mainly blood splatter effects from killing enemies actually wind up blocking sight of your character and you end up dying since you couldn't actually manage to land properly and I would say it's a bit unfair and it happens a lot of the time LOL an option to reduce the blood effects in the settings would be nice. Appart from that, this game is a fuck4ing masterpiece yeah and everyone should play it!!!!!!!!!

After completing 100% of the game I can finally say that… Laika: aged through blood is a light 8 out of 10 The gameplay? GOOD, the soundtrack? GOOD, the cutscenes? GOATED Although it can get repetitive at times making some of the side quests and trying to get some of the achievements, I also find it lacking both on worldbuilding and the main character and NPCS backstory I THINK that these 2 could easily expanded and told us more about the history and world that we are playing on. other than that? It's a good game that should be played at least once for the unique gameplay it has. Also laika can get five big booms BOOM, BOOM , BOOM. BOOM, BOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!!

I loved this game. The art style is fantastic. The animated cutscenes sprinkled throughout are such a treat. Absolutely beautiful soundtrack. NPCs are fun and entertaining. The writing is wonderful, funny, and heartbreaking. There's a good variety in weapons, though keeping the pistol and shotgun in rotation feels almost necessary. Boss fights were always unique and interesting in concept (though not always in execution). Now, the things that I did not like. -The dash comes FAR too late in the game. For this to be a metroidvania that requires you to constantly backtrack, it takes FOREVER to go from area to area, especially when you aren't 100% sure where you need to be looking for whatever quest item is necessary. -The game desperately needs a better fast travel system. The fast travel points are oddly inconveniently placed. There are large parts of the map that are without them (especially central of the map) and you seem to have to go to those areas frequently. Not to mention the fast travel points ALSO cost a unique currency for much of the game. A currency that you have to gather in the world, and then make at the fast travel point, to use the fast travel point (stupid, STUPID). -The turn around function is not perfect. I don't know if it needed to be a shorter duration held but MANY of my deaths were because of thinking I had turned around only to ride in the same direction to my death. -The hook function is dicey at best and extremely difficult to use at its worst and made that whole boat area of the map feel like a pain to get through. It got so frustrating that I considered quitting the game. I'm glad I didn't, but that level of annoyance does not make for FUN. Having the dash there would have made it significantly easier to get through, but that was still 2/3 of the game away. -Upgrades cost FAR too much. Max upgrade costing 3000 of the currency when you typically get 5 (FIVE) for killing enemies is insane. Especially considering there's like 6 weapons and multiple bag upgrades. I didn't have it in me to grind it out just for achievement sake. -Nearly all the side quests were ridiculous fetch quests forcing you to go from corner to corner (again, the terrible fast travel does not help this) only to receive basic upgrade material you can easily get from respawnable chests. Make the side quests feel like they're worth doing. I don't care how interesting the NPCs are (and they are all quite varied) if I'm getting useless rewards in return for the quests. -I initially started this game on a controller, because that's how I expect to play a platformer, but I VERY quickly switched to mouse and keyboard. Godspeed to anyone that persevered with a controller, because having to move, aim, reload with the flips, use the hook, etc all on a controller feels absolutely awful (lol at console players). I really wish there had been another boss or area like the mines. That was one of the only times that the fact that you're on a motorbike felt fluid and fast. I understand that really isn't the crux of the game, but I still feel like it should have had a greater impact, rather than the start stop start stop precision gameplay. I know this is a review mostly focused on negatives, but the entire 30-35 hours I spent on this game (a bit of afk) I loved. But there is truly a laundry list of caveats. The game itself was never too difficult, but as I said above, I nearly quit from frustration over a poorly implemented core mechanic. Buy it full price, buy it on sale, just play this game. It really is beautiful. Just mind the bird shit that you will step in while playing it.

Laika's a motorcycle metrovania style game that you can beat in 20 hours. But that twenty hours is one hell of a gripping story in a grim setting with depressing tones mixed with some seeds of hope. It's biggest strengths is the main gameplay itself, the moving story, and the wonderful music you'll listen to and unlock tapes of as you play through. It's biggest weakness is some of the boss design being fights that drag out for quite a while where death has you refight the boss from the beginning every time you mess up. Thankfully not all of those fights are like this and there's plenty of stages to drive through between the big fights either. I left the game craving much more of the lore and world settiing. It was such a great experience that this review can't do it justice.

Having 100%-ed the game, here's my two cents. The game wasn't perfect; as others have said, the boss fights are probably the worst part of the game, and there are bits of backtracking you have to do for quests or items that just isn't fun if you don't photographically remember the map. On the other hand, the art style and music rock! The story, while a little edgy at points, never crossed that line too far and I was consistently intrigued the entire way. I empathized a lot with Laika the whole way through, and enjoyed the worldbuilding a lot. The gameplay was generally pretty clean and enjoyable, and I didn't experience any glitches. The achievements aren't too hard to get, either. I definitely recommend this game, especially if you can catch it on sale.
