Cats cure all ills. Post more of them.


That owl griffin was amazing--just how it moved and the design. I figured it was going to be a giant eagle or something dull because the cries definitely sounded like some sort of bird of prey, so I was pleasantly surprised.

Those rope mechanics looked like they were a lot of fun to handle, I'm tempted to pick the game up for myself just for this level alone.

Honestly, I thought the griffin had died but willing to wave it off. That whole ending bit with older brother's death definitely left a little bit of a sour taste in my mouth--death by a woman when there really aren't any women in the game to start didn't help--but also it just felt so heavy handed and at odds with the rest of the games tone. When the chapter started it felt disjointed from the rest, like it just sort of jumped to something different. That disconnect definitely made it so the pathos they wanted to evoke with older brother's death just didn't click with me.

I really did love the mechanics and little brother doing things he couldn't do alone again at the end though. I just wish they hadn't fumbled right before. The game is beautiful and so consistent otherwise.
