I don't know why the recent reviews are so negative. My husband and I played through the whole game with no issues. I tend to find a lot of bugs in games without trying, and nothing game breaking ever happened for us. I'm also TERRIBLE at platformers but I still had a good time. The art and animations were fantastic. The backgrounds and designs of the enemies were a 10/10 for me. Gameplay wise.... the smaller enemies are a little less memorable, and some a little annoying to deal with. They are endless so you really can't just sit there, you have to keep moving. The bosses on the other hand... were SO much fun. Overall, the game is 7/10, maybe even a 7.5. It's not the most ground breaking game in the world, but it's still fun. The art and the boss fights definitely carry, but it was still a unique experience that I think about from time to time.
Unfortunately, the game makes the mistake of making the Metroidvania experience procedural. People play Metroidvanias to admire the art that others create. This game throws that concept out the window. I did have fun, though, since I also like roguelites like Dead Cells. Still, I don’t recommend this game to players who are looking for a Metroidvania. The graphics are still very pretty, though.
After Jotun (which I could only beat because of the tremendous amount of hours I spent in Hades I + II), it seems like the developers at Thunder Lotus Games made freedom and ease of movement a top priority in their next title. And it really paid off. The abilities, the combat, the exploration, and the discoveries, everything in this game is so much fun. The sense of progression with the central skilltree is really nice, and I very much enjoyed piecing the story together. It's not a large game, but it's very polished and well-calibrated (I played on Easy, Normal, and Difficult), which made me want to have more game than was there. So instead, I 100% my three saves. The artwork is gorgeous and very creative, and a lot of effort must've went into the animated sequences (which reminded me of Jotun). And the voice actor for The Shining Trapezohedron (still not sure if the stone is talking or if it's a conduit for that Nyarlathotep guy) is super awesome. Whenever he would talk I would just stand there and listen. Oh, music and sound design, too. Both greatly enhance the atmosphere. Also, I also wanted to say thank you to Thunder Lotus Games for featuring female protagonists in all 3 titles I've played so far. As a female player, it just feels different, somehow. TL;DR: I liked this game so much I put other metroidvania games on my wishlist. I played through it three times, unlocking all endings and 100% the game's achievements. I could not recommend this game more. NOTE: If you're having trouble with the game's unusual keybinds (I'm used to moving with WASD and attacking with my mouse), consider changing them in the options.
I really enjoyed it. Looks gorgeous, sounds gorgeous, and plays- Well it plays great too, up until the end of the third region and its boss, where you gain the ability (and the requirement) to use the grappling hook - and that thing just does not work well on a keyboard. I had to lower the difficulty at that point, which felt kinda disappointing, but if you have a gamepad, I'm sure this game would be an unquestionable recommend. Without it, eh, you have been warned. Still, at least for me as a relative newcomer to the genre, it felt really cool the whole way through, some sort of sauce is in here that is unusual to me and I really enjoy. I've sung enough praises to Thunder Lotus' visual art abilities with Spiritfarer, so how great Sundered looks is no surprise. But again, it looks gorgeous. It has this weird thing where extremely large entities are unusually low res, as if the sprites for everything are the same size, even if the actual size of the entity may be way larger. At first it rubbed me the wrong way, but lowkey it kinda grew on me, as if the game struggles to convey the size of these larger than life beings. One thing that consistently amazed me was the incredible sound design. Not sure how to explain it exactly, but the way Sundred uses these droning noises that build up in intensity was a great experience. And this is good because this game really likes to slash your life expectancy via strain on your cardiovascular system with this trick it constantly pulls where it just starts to overwhelm you - and the gameplay, the music, the visuals, the sound - all of them contribute to this feeling beautifully, especially in bossfights. Maybe it's my expectations from playing soulslikes for too long, but I am under the impression that if I get good at a videogame, I could nohit any boss, right? In Sundered, bosses start to panic really hard by the end of their health bar, and that forces you to just forget not getting hit because you know the last strikes are going to be done while tanking like 5 different attacks. And I like it, it's frantic, it's cool, it's great. Max LL did an incredible job with the music, I don't know what else to say. Soundtrack of this game is top notch. The VA for the Trapezohedron is awesome too. I hope he didn't drown in his own saliva while recording, cause it sure sounded like that. From here until the end, it's about the story. I will spoiler tag the most blatant spoilers, but if you're of the more blind playthrough persuasion (based), you should prolly stop reading here and go play Sundered, it's very good. Perhaps it has something to do with me belonging to multiple social groups that get demonized by religion, but I have this tendency to facetiously align myself with the satanic and the eldritch - the high and mighty and the "virtuous" abandon me, so why should I bow to them, that sort of thing. And on my first attempt of playing this, I went that route too. Even during that attempt, though, the feeling that I have been surrendering to religion started to creep in. This time I burned the shards and saw how much love this God truly held for me. Like I said, VA for the Trapezohedron did an incredible job, and it is important that he did for this feeling. Just the way he says "Eshe~" is something else. The way location markers show names in both English and Eldritch (whatever it's called, Eschatonian? I dunno) also quickly shows a pattern of similarities between the two, as if speaking in tongues to appear more divine. And I just thought this whole thing was a really cool subversion of not quite expectations, but preconceptions.
