@IndieGamePulse 2 жыл бұрын
Thank you Vlad! Yeah, more emphasis on the enemy posture would have made it playable without the signals, I think. Although the combat being a little easier for a souls-like game helped me get to the story and world a lot faster than usual, so I can't complain too much!

I think I’d prefer watching a playthrough rather than play it myself, if only because souls-like combat is something I tend to find frustrating. I won’t deny that this does look and sound absolutely amazing though and that a lot of people will get a lot of enjoyment out of it. It seems fantastic in many ways. Thanks for the review.

That's fair! Souls-like combat seems to be one of the most divisive game mechanics, either you love it or you hate it. Maybe equally as divisive as the roguelike/lite genre lol.

Cody this was a great review. Excellent discussion of the combat. Ironically, this is the opposite of your Amazing Circus video, where you didn’t like the game so much - but I happened to see another reviewer who (somewhat) liked that game. For Tails of Iron, I happened to see another review last week that was decidedly negative. I think he had some criticisms of the combat and movement. Anyway, it really demonstrates how subjective all these reviews are; we all react so differently to the same things. As for me, I haven’t tried this yet, but the aesthetics are absolutely compelling. The heavy outline reminds me of stained glass. But the muted color palette is something else entirely.
@IndieGamePulse 2 жыл бұрын
Scott, I 100% agree! Reviews are subjective to the reviewers preferences and personal experiences and connections. Sometimes a game just click, some take a bit to warm up to, and other just never take flight. But again, a lot of that comes down to personal opinions. In my experience, if you've found a reviewer that recommends games that you've enjoyed, or helped you find one that you enjoy, then you can start to trust them a little better :) In a game like Tails of Iron, the beautiful art like you mentioned doesn't hurt its chances of players falling in love with it. The stained glass is an excellent comparison too! I hope you get a chance to try it someday so you can let me know what you think :)

What a time for indies. I’m finishing up Psychonauts 2 and then I’ll move on to either Eastward, Tails of Iron, or Twelve Minutes. I sort of consider Psychonauts to be an indie given that it was crowdfunded haha. Thanks for the review!
@IndieGamePulse 2 жыл бұрын
What a time indeed! Just between yesterday and today, Tails of Iron, TOEM, Severed Steel, Eastward, and even more came out! Obviously I highly recommend Tails of Iron, but from what I've heard, you can't go wrong with Eastward either. Twelve Minutes...I've heard some complaints of being overly repetitive and a slog later in the game, but I can't speak to that personally. Thankfully next week looks a little quieter, and we'll finally get a full look at Sable :)
@EricShoe 2 жыл бұрын
@@IndieGamePulse Seriously! There’s been a lull in AAA games these recent years, which has really allowed me to delve into indies. I haven’t looked at any reviews for Twelve Minutes yet, but that does make me a bit more wary to try it out. I haven’t seen much about Sable but it looks promising!
