So yeah there's a load of bullshit jumps in this game, you need to watch youtubes to see how to get through them because the hazards are obscured by the detailed background and don't really stick out all that well.

Also while you can set your own save points, the game is bugged and it will sometimes bug out your save point and spawn you between walls causing a cycle of instant and infinite deaths, thereby negating your progress and you need to start from scratch.In contrast the game is short as hell, so it's not like you will be dealing with 80+ stages like in other games.

Rayman legends is still king of platformers.

You can also get stuck in walls that way, making the game unable to be completed.

It's a really good game, it's beautiful and moving around is very fast and fluid. I definitely recommend it.

As for the whole "is it, and games in general, art?" thing, ehhh. I always felt most of the push for recognition was by nerds who just wanted the social cachet of art snobs without any of the economic and critical baggage that comes with it.

:wotwot: Look, I'm not just sitting in my basement playing Doom for ten hours straight, I'm a game buff! Wait, what's this? Corporations are buying my studios? CASUALS? FEMINISM?!? NOOOOOO

Are you past the first area or did you beat the game?

I beat it, got 100%. Some of the later abilities make traversal a breeze-you don't even need to touch the ground most of the time, and the levels get ridiculously hazard-filled to match. I must have died over 300 times; the game is kind enough to keep score.

I only watched videos of it but feel fully qualified to say that it's just the latest atmospheric jerkoff game with boring gameplay.

i beat the game and recommend it. I agree with you the painted background makes seeing spikes and platforms harder than it should be but lol if you needed a guide to beat this game. also not being able to go back to areas/a completed save is dumb as poo poo.

its not one of those games though. Its not like Never Alone or whatever.

Its a legit platformer with some interesting platforming mechanics and a pretty legit difficulty. The gameplay is well thought out and its there, its got nothing to do with poo poo like Limbo
