Sorry I was a bit late boosting!
Had some busy days as mum was in the hospital, and I had their dog for a day, and things went not "as usual".
I hope I got all the tags boosted now! 😁

And Fankoos :drac_heart: to all that use alt texts to keep their toots accessible to all gamers! I :lgbt_boost: boost you! :pika_wink:

#ShareYourGames :cat_boost:

It's Friday, so that means (occasionally) I put a new video out! Today is a bit special because this is the start of a series I'll be uploading exclusively to Peertube! My YouTube viewers get a single episode as a little preview, but after that, it's for you, Fediverse!

I made it to the boss at the end of stage 4 in #RocketKnight Adventures. 🥳
What I love about these games and what the Souls games somewhat remind me of, is seeing yourself getting better the more you play.
When I started the game a few weeks back, I struggled with the first stage already. Then I got stuck on the second stage boss. Today I encountered the boss of stage 3 and thought it was impossible at first. And then I beat the boss on my next run and made it to stage 4, only losing one life in the progress. 🤯
The game is super hard, but I've seen now that it's not unfair. Everything kills you in one hit on the hardest difficulty and while I can't see myself ever going through that ordeal, I can see that it is technically possible. Given enough time I could probably do it, but I'm happy enough beating the game once on a lower difficulty.

Neva (Mulit, XPd on PC via Steam)
Take a grim journey with Alba and her wolf companion Neva through a dying world.

So right off the bat, this is a game that gives you a Superman kick in your feels. The opening cinematic sees Alba overcome by the dark denizens of the world only to be saved by her wolf companion who sacrifices herself, leaving Alba to raise the wolf's cub to take its rightful place as her new companion.

Thus you start this side scrolling platformer with a small and at times timid wolf cub, heading into the world attempting to find and vanquish the darkness responsible for the death that is all around Alba. As you progress through the game the cub will grow up and become more powerful and helpful companion.

The mechanics of this game are quite tight and responsive. None of that floaty jump stuff here. The skill sets for Alba and Neva grow rapidly as this game is fairly short (I have 5 hours played to complete it) but each addition felt pretty natural and was quick to be useful. There are a few tough spots as enemies don't telegraph their move sets so expect a few deaths as you figure out patterns and learn when best to attack.

I dig the art style of this game. It's very reminiscent of some older animated features, most notably Fantastic Planet and Yellow Submarine, at least IMO. For all that this game tells a dark story, there is beauty in this world. The music is very appropriate, fitting the world quite well. I also like how all the narrative is told visually. The only text you'll see are gameplay prompts, and even those are pretty sparse.

Overall, I would highly recommend this game to anyone that likes shorter experiences, platformers, or getting a gut punch in the feels. I very much enjoyed my time with it, and won't be forgetting it any time soon.
