The game also has a lot of backtracking and padding in order to artificially extend its length, there's one part where you legit have to go back to the start of the train for no actual reason and then go back to the last wagon. The gameplay is really boring and sluggish, most of the puzzles are very poorly designed and are either too easy or just so contrived and obscure that you will need a guide in order to figure out what the hell you need to do.
And now I ask? It was worth it? It pains me to say this, but ACT 2 is just a massive disappointment, that, at best is just an incredibly uninteresting and unremarkable point 'n click game and, at worst, an unpolished poorly made mess. I waited for this game for a very long time, it was arguably the main that kept me at this fanbase after the dumpster-fire created by Hussie and his team. All in all I would say that it's worth the buy! Even if this one wasn't the best in the series, it was still quite good! Excited to see what else what pumpkin can make! Also first user review >:? … ExpandĪfter a disastrous Kickstarter campaign, a delay of almost 4 years, and the abuse committed by WP employers against the fans ACT 2 finally is on. Anyways, it is all for storytelling, but it sucked doing all that work only to have a literal bombshell drop on the ending. (I guess it's arguable that pesterquest wasn't a cliffhanger but i digress). You'll have to play it for yourself, but honestly seeing that cliffhanger made me worried, especially if we have to wait another 3 years for a sequel, especially after the last game and Friendsim AND Pesterquest had cliffhangers. It seems that their intention was to wow us with dialogue however, which was a very good part of the game! The characters are all very charming and fun, even when they're antagonists! :o) The ending was also, uhh.
#Hiveswap xefros symbol trial
The Trial was also fun, but it was just a little too-long for me, and it was also pretty un-intuitive. I would have liked to see more Strifing in the game, the Conductor Strife was great, Azdaja's strife was also alright. The items are fairly useless this time around, typically serving less as puzzle tools, and more as "person bluntly asked to trade for said items". It also didn't hook me like the first game had game play wise. Character sprites are excellent in the game, and each character has a lot of polish. The game felt very 2 dimensional, with it being in perfect straight lines the whole game. Something about the homey aspects of Dammek's Hive and Half-Harley Manor gave some cool vibes to the game, that aren't fully present in Hiveswap Act 2. The soundtrack was done by the amazingly skilled James Roach and Toby Fox! The graphics are also not as good as the first game.
I still have ticket to ride stuck in my head lol. The sequel to Hiveswap is out, and it's pretty cool!! There are some amazing parts of the game, such as the soundtrack, which is very colorful and silly, while also great at setting the tone. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It is definitely worth your time and money, and im hopeful for how act 3 will turn out. Noticeably lower stakes than the first act Overall, i found this game very enjoyable, with occasional rough patches.
I am understanding with the games spotty pacing though, as it allows joey to get familiar with the basic structure of alternain society, which will in turn likely lead to more genuine characterization later on. It has little to do with the overall plot, and takes up about about a third of the game. Although i found it fun, it definitely wont be everybody's cup of tea. There are no parts that i found insufferable, but the trial section was a notable drag - There is a fairly large section of the game that is heavily inspired by the ace attorney games. However, the pacing is a much spottier than in the first one. This game was a very pleasant experience! Some things of note, including good things, bad things, and a bunch of other things in between - This game was a very pleasant experience! Some things of note, including good things, bad things, and a bunch of other things in between - Great Soundtrack - Charming visuals - Great characters - Fun puzzles - Great characters - Much longer than the first act (about 7 hours compared to 3).
