Stellar game, Yacht Club has done it again. The gameplay is tight and the music & visuals are incredible. To everybody complaining about difficulty, did you know you can make the game easier? Go to settings --> modifiers --> easier. Also, people need to stop calling everything Dark Souls. This game is Castlevania x Zelda (and Zelda 2). And it's easier than both.

Recommending it but be warned the game can be incredibly frustrating. I'm going to start with some complaints but I promise I do actually enjoy the game and don't need to "git gud." People will defend the game's difficulty but there are a lot of design choices around the combat that just outright confuse me. You can jump over some attacks, you can burrow some attacks, you can deflect some attacks back, but there's no indication on any attacks which way you're supposed to avoid the damage. It seems like trial and error. Some enemies fly, and you have to jump and attack them, but because they're positioned over a dozen pitfalls you have to wait and hope they fly near your direction so you can kill them, otherwise you'll just get hit and fall in to a pit. You can only attack on a grid, but some enemies fly around you off the grid and shoot projectiles at you. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to deal with those enemies except attack in a direction and pray. The bosses are great, but it's a bit silly how every boss I've fought so far was easier than some of the standard enemies. I don't know if it was my weapon choice (the daggers) or what, because it's not like I can experiment with the other weapons without spending thousands of bones. It's hard to justify spending thousands of bones on weapons when I don't know if I'll enjoy them and there's other things that ALSO cost thousands of bones. I'm sure I'll be rolling in calcium eventually, but it is a pain point at the moment. Sidearms are super good, but I feel like they don't hand them out nearly often enough and the fact that you completely lose them on death sucks. I now have two sidearm slots and they are usually empty. I attack the environment every screen so I'm not sure what my problem is there, I'm open to advice. Losing your spark on death and then losing all of your bones is annoying. I get it, I know other games do this, but with how tight a lot of the level design is, how brutal the enemy designs and placements are, and how long some of the runbacks can be, it can feel really REALLY bad to die sometimes. Not to mention that bones feel more valuable than when games usually do this because buying things seems very important. I know that difficult game design can appear spiteful or unfair because the skill ceiling is so far above where you are currently, and over time playing the game you catch up to it, and everything becomes easier and the whole process feels rewarding. This game could end up being like that, but right now I'm just going through a gauntlet of (what feels like) intentionally frustrating level and enemy design to then 1st try a boss in 20 seconds and then leave. Sometimes I get trinkets; those are pretty fun even if some of them seem useless. I don't think it's comparable to any souls-like and I don't think it does the game justice to describe it like that. It feels like A Link to the Past. Sometimes it feels like an early Castlevania game. Sometimes it feels like Shovel Knight. It has done a good job at being its own thing with plenty of clear inspirations. The art is great and charming, the music is really good and fits the style, I love exploring, I enjoy the platforming, and the difficulty isn't a problem for me, but sometimes I have to roll my eyes at what diabolical screens they put together. Don't get me wrong, I ENJOY difficult video games, and I'm enjoying this one, I just think there's room for nuance. If the reviews about difficulty are putting you off, I genuinely don't think there's been anything yet that couldn't be conquered by a moderately determined casual player (probably with a hefty dose of annoyance.)

After one play session that lasted five and a half hours and two Spark Generators, I am confident in saying that Mina The Hollower is a legendary game and anyone playing it is truly blessed for the chance. Yacht Club Games has taken their formula of "classic, but modernized just enough to make it juiced" and amped it to 11. The movement is perfect. The difficulty is perfect (if a little low). The music and visuals are perfect. Every panel of every screen has something to interact with or collect. This game is a sun that never stops shining. When you reach the flow state, the movement and combat feel so good that it is impossible to put down. The vibe of the world is immaculate. This is a game that far surpasses its retro inspirations and carves out its own niche as a modern legend. Even the things other people think are negative shine as positives under further scrutiny. For instance, the fact that you need to hit enemies to fill your health flasks means that you also never need to spend money on upgrading them since they always have the possibility of being at max capacity if you git gud and stop getting hit. It lets you focus on getting stronger rather than having to shore up your defenses constantly, a pain point personally for me with Souls-like games. Experiences like this only come once in a blue moon and I'm so grateful I was able to have it. I am so excited to play this game over and over and over again as the years go by, because I know that it will never get old. Anyone who truly loves games will truly love Mina.
