And I don’t use that word as a lazy synonym for “good” or “great”.
#ENCHANTED PORTALS RESKINNED CUPHEAD ASSET FLIP PC#
I’m doing a longer stream for Nioh’s PC release right now. And even those are separate from what I think is Hob’s biggest, most glaring problem.Īlso, here’s a brief reminder that I’ve begun streaming on Twitch. The rest, however, feels like they were included out of obligation and weren’t given enough attention. There are some really good ideas in this game that are worth seeing. In every other way, Hob is its own game with its own sense of identity. There are even many blocks to find and push around to make a path forward. Otherwise you’re looking for switches and levers to pull, puzzles to solve, and some light platforming with a jump command that’s a little like a top-down version of some of the stuff from the 3D Zeldas. Clearing some rooms of enemies will trigger the opening of the way forward. You run around enemies and wait for openings while fighting. You might really enjoy this game, despite its many problems.
Before we dig in with spoilers, I think it’s proper to show you all just how much this game really is like Zelda, just in case you missed its release in September. So along comes Hob, which might help answer that question but it’s more likely to lead to even more questions. And yet that type of game has been relatively untouched in the indie scene, while we get platformer after platformer. I played A Link to the Past to death as a kid. I was very excited when I saw a trailer for Hob because I’ve been wondering for a while now: why don’t more smaller developers try to make a game like the top-down Zelda titles? They’re a favorite for many people-a bunch of us grew up adoring them.
Or a newer one if you’ve played A Link Between Worlds.
