the game is pretty alright. not a ton of tactical depth, although unit customization between different weapons and upgrade paths is pretty cool and does allow for some squad customization.

imo one of the most interesting thing is permanently losing stats when a character dies on a map. not overly punishing, but still pushes you to play carefully and care about positioning.

other than that, there's some jank (especially with the UI and the inventory management...) but i am a sicko so i had no real issue with it, but most people would hate it.

also benji is my favorite himbo

i don't think the game is very fun! there's a ton of interactions and seemingly a lot of depth but you can barely move around, and it just feels terrible to spend endless turns just trying to move people forward so they can fight. maybe it gets better later on but i don't feel like spending 25 hours on getting to a point where i don't need to spend 5 turns just moving stuff forward. i also went ahead and watched some walkthroughs and it seems to be an issue that plagues the game for its entire runtime.

on top of that this is me nitpicking but the UI just does not look good. i'm not sure what they changed from the trailer on the store with the better looking presentation and dialogue/ui. those are more in line with the rest of the game's art, but whatever update they pushed made the game not very pretty to menu through. and there's a lot of menuing.

blind forest is a really good *experience*, this is a really good *game*

if you can only play one pixel remaster it's gotta be this one

honestly just play this version of blind forest. you get both versions (DE and the old version) but this is just the one to play.

i liked the first "level" of the game (the caves), because it's kept relatively simple but you can see some depth to it. then i got to the second area and it did not feel as fun - enemies started feeling frustrating to fight, traps felt annoying, and the progression (and necessity to switch family members) got a bit too much for me.

i did not have the opportunity to play with a friend, maybe that would alleviate some of the issues i have, but i was just not too enthralled by my time with the game past a certain point. i'll still leave it as a recommend because i don't think it's bad, it's just extremely not for me.

gorgeous game that only serves to validate my visceral hatred of birds

a very fun game. it's less derivative than you might think - the focus is much more on exploring and collecting than managing troops adequately, so it's closer to a collectathon in that regard.

it's got a killer soundtrack and more importantly is insanely fun to control. it also looks very good visually. it's a strong recommendation from me!

i don't think it's very fun.

combat isn't particularly fun as it lacks some sort of oomph to it - everything is weightless, feels like nothing really matters.

another point is the UI - i just think it's not very good. kind of hard to tell what you're selecting or what you're doing with a controller. strong lack of contrasts or visual clarity on that front.

i think your money is better spent on other games.

off the bat, the game is insanely derivative. with that said, i think it pulls ahead from its inspiration with the battle mechanics - the SP system and being able to switch moves on the fly makes for a much better experience. music is also pretty groovy, and i did like the creature designs overall.

i had a lot of fun! i think it's worth playing.
