Twinblade★ 4,056 Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 I played through the very beginning of Lords of The Fallen. Not sure how I feel about it. It runs and looks fine on my PC, and there's a lot more to the gameplay mechanics than I was expecting. But the combat itself is a bit clumsy and doesn't feel as good as Lies of P, which I view as the new standard when it comes to Souls-likes not developed by From. Also, the world feels a bit dull in its design, at least so far. And whats up with the roll? It feels so weird. When the animation is about to end you get propelled forward in a way that makes no sense physics wise. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
-GD-X★ 7,933 Posted June 2 Author Share Posted June 2 I was able to sink more time into Lorelei and the Laser Eye. I’m at the 65% mark. I’m stuck lol. I know I probably have the what I need to solve the puzzle (I think lol), but I just did like 15 puzzles in an hour (a very cool and trippy part). I’m tired. I’ve taken so many pics and have used my notepad on my phone. This is an awesome puzzle game! Some great head-scratchers. edit: the atmosphere and interconnectivity continue to be excellent for this genre. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
-GD-X★ 7,933 Posted June 3 Author Share Posted June 3 Lorelei and the Laser Eye took an amazing turn! as for being “stuck”….let’s just say I had the key to a door I didn’t think I had the key to lol. This is why you shouldn’t play puzzle games when you are tired. I wasted like 2 hours 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
-GD-X★ 7,933 Posted June 4 Author Share Posted June 4 I’m closing in on the final 5th of Lorelei and the Laser Eyes. This game is wild! I love the horror elements and the puzzles have been a blast! One was pretty damn cool! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madmaltese★ 2,700 Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 You've sold the game to me GD, Ill get it on Switch soon. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
-GD-X★ 7,933 Posted June 4 Author Share Posted June 4 I was curious what Lorelei had on Meta. Funny enough, the first review also compared it to being the Dark Souls of puzzle games. It’s exactly that. edit: I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels like it’s David Lynch-inspired. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JonDnD 2,803 Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 After many times of seeing Tiny Tinas on sale for 15 bucks i finally picked it up. I was tired of the BL games so didnt know if id even be interested in this one at all. So far i like it a lot tho. Maybe my favorite BL game since the first one. Just making fun of RPGs and DD. The comedy hits for me in this one. The overworld changes things up and has random encounters / quests to complete as well. Definitely worth the 15 bucks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
-GD-X★ 7,933 Posted June 5 Author Share Posted June 5 I can tell I’m in the homestretch of Lorelei Laser Eyes. The puzzle difficulty has ramped up. I’m at 88% Quote Link to post Share on other sites
-GD-X★ 7,933 Posted June 6 Author Share Posted June 6 Finished Lorelei and The Laser Eyes. That was a crazy ass ending! I definitely recommend going into the last puzzle with several hours to spare. I don’t want to give any spoilers, as to why, but just trust me. As for the game, this is a 10/10! The Dark Souls of puzzle games! The interconnectivity with the level design and puzzles is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. As for atmosphere, it’s rich in Lynch surrealism, ranging from bizarre, abstract humor to downright cryptic imagery. There’s even a few clever jump scares. I have no clue how long it took me to beat it. It says 30 hours, but I never hit “pause” when I get phone calls or return texts (which happens often, due to my line of work). I would say 20 hours of playtime is probably an accurate guess. It would have been shorter, but I made some dumb mistakes (do not play this when you are tired lol). lastly, the puzzles are fucking fantastic! You’ll be thinking outside of the box - that’s for sure! It will all feel a bit clunky and overwhelming, at first. Then it all becomes fluid, with a great and consistent level of progression. Major tip: if you enter a room, interact with everything. Anything that could be puzzle-related will be logged as a memory or a to-do. Also, I got a 99.4%. If you are looking to get 100%, make sure you find all of the money, before the last part (you’ll know what it is). I’m not redoing that long ass final section just to get 100% lol. Maybe another time. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

-GD-X★ 7,933 Posted June 7 Author Share Posted June 7 after the epic, and amazing, lorelei and the laser eyes....i decided to go back to balatro for a fun, chill card experience (my brain is still fried from lorelei lol). balatro is truly the lemonade-on-a-hot-sunny-day of gaming. the music, alone, calms the nerves.

madmaltese★ 2,700 Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Just now, -GD-X said: is that like dave the diver? man, i totally threw dtd to the curb once i got hooked on lorelei A little bit but it's much more focused on one gameplay format (doesn't have multiple systems constantly being added or fishing + restaurant). It's really good though, basically a fisherman on your fishing boat where you go out to catch fish (much like Dave the diver) but then has a slightly Alan Wake/horror undertone. Don't want to say too much but it's cool. Small open world map with cool things to discover, constant feeling of progression and upgrading your boat, etc. Also only about 6-8h to finish 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Twinblade★ 4,056 Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 yeah Dredge is good. Fun gameplay loop and it can actually be quite atmospheric. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah if DTD was too much this is very much a similar addicting loop but toned down. I think you'll enjoy it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
