An exceedingly lazy part two.

The first game was pretty decent, had good stage progression, branching paths you actually get lost on and miss things... This is a beyond linear joke of a "game" that's pretty much just unlocking a gallery with a LOT of annoying steps in the way... And the gallery is even kinda "meh" compared to the original that was locked behind a decent game. While the first game had multiple regions to fight through, and unique scenes and bad ends along the way, this is just going to the same "old schoolhouse" over and over again while the bad guy whines and says he's going to need increasing amounts of time to recover from the berating you gave him... Then you go back, and do the SAME thing again, but with more mobs in the fights.... Not that this matters, as you're either planning to lose or you'll hurricane kick your way through to the end with barely a scratch even on the last run. I don't think the first game has been translated, but there are fan patches for it, and even with some kinda janky wording in places it is infinitely better than this. If they translate and release the original it is worth playing, as an actual game, but the "sequel" here is so bad you'd never guess from playing this. The only thing that was good here was the addition of non-combat actions in the battle system, you can do some "H" things during the fight now to gain an advantage, I don't recall that being an option in the original.

Not much replay value, but worth playing

There's a serious lack of variation in this game, but it is really cute and fun to play, just not something I see myself ever playing again. For $8 it's not bad, and on sale it's a steal, just be aware that there's nothing to do in a second play through and after beating it the option presented to keep playing isn't really appealing as you've likely unlocked everything and done everything before getting to the end. I got this via a bundle on Steam, and am writing this review here as I *remove* it from my GOG wish list, I have *no* interest in playing it again but I'm still glad I did and fully recommend this to anyone looking for a cute relaxing friendly escape from their day. If you expect this to be something you come back to often you'll likely be disappointed, but if you're looking for a great game to play through once it's one of the better I've played in years despite how simple and lacking in replay value it is.

Staxel CE is *NOT* included for GOG.

I hate to say it, but if you really want this get it on Steam. Two issues: There is no CE, which is the later branch with a few more recent updates, and the one that actually works, at the cost of losing mod support... Which brings me to the second issue. The mods are all locked to Steam, and with the terrible inventory and storage system you really do need them, so not much point in using the buggier older client on GOG when you don;t get the only thing it does better. I don't care that it has seemingly been abandoned, with plenty of QoL issues needing to be addressed and in need of a LOT of polish, but the lack of the updated working client here is a straight "NO!" for me. The Staxel version is on parity with Steam, but there is no StaxelCE folder in it, which is the alternative working client with cross platform support and MUCH better performance.. Not to mention the lack of five Microsoft redistrubtable installers needed to even try to launch the main client. I fiddled for over an hour trying to get this janky mess of Microslop redistibutables to run, while the CE verion on Steam launches perfect through both Proton and via the native Linux executable. I'm normally not one to complain if I have issues with Linux, I'm not running the "official" supported OS, it's generally my place to research that things work and how to get them playing before buying a "Windows" title. The lack of CE here which is part of the Steam version and the only thing to get *any* updates for this "Early Access" game half a decade makes this broken when it runs perfectly on Linux (And CE is DRM-Free via Steam, as an extra folder in your install directory) elsewhere. I've only refunded one game in over a decade here, and I later bought it again when the devs decided to push the years late patch from Steam, but this one is getting the dubious honor of being number two on that list. Add the CE version and I'll grab it again, and slap this bad review down, but until then I'm putting in for my money back because even on sale this isn't worth it while it's missing that.

Use data for doukutsu-rs engine.

Get it on a DEEP sale, or stick to Doukutsu Monogatari freeware. I have this on Steam, and the Humble DRM-Free version, which still works if you can manage to get it downloaded. Both of them are also a janky mess. Consider the "plus" version like buying Shattered Pixel Dungeon, it's a free game that you can get a few extras for and toss money at something you like by buying it, but unlike SPD this isn't dev you want to support but Nicalis raking in the rewards for this abandoned mess.. This is like buying Doom, or Wolfenstein, or Quake. I mean who is running the DOS version of old id games? A lot of us playing them, but not the original version. You're getting the data folder out of the installation to run in a decent engine, not directly play the game. This has the "plus" content you probably want when running it in a good engine for all versions from freeware to plus to a data folder ripped from the Switch port. I recommend doukutsu-rs, which you can find currently (as of me writing this) on Github, and there is a "core" for it in Libretro. NX-Engine is another option, and still much better than the actual Nicalis release, but the features of d-rs are vastly improved so it gets my recommendation instead.

Save File Corruption.

If you lose the fight while escaping the castle, and with the input lag I've been having firing off the spells needed to win is iffy and can take several tries per battle, but this time losing corrupts the save file causing an instant exit when trying to reload. You can start over, but this is several hours in, and frustrating enough I just uninstalled the game. I would suggest that anyone playing this save to an extra slot at the save point outside of the castle, if the same thing happens to you you'll want to be able to load the extra save, overwrite your main save since it seems to kill the active save so don't try again from the backup, and then make another attempt.

Why I only buy WB on GOG now.

Actually a great game, a fun story mode and an interasting world to explore with some great mechanics that keep it from gettting boring with a lot of play time. A bit of the "samey" WB fighting system and a lot of pointless collection and busywork in the open world to make you grind out time in it which is not unique to this game and is a recurring theme in most new "AAA" titles. It can get boring, and grindy, but it's hard to find any games these days that don;t try to artificially inflat the time it takes to play with monotonous nonsensical progression of the Skyrim quest system and collectables scattered everywhere you need to search out for unlocks. I "beat" this on Steam, though it took a lot of trime due to issues with authentication, but unlike most DRM broken titles there I actually stuck with it and it's the *only* Denuvo title I have finished aside from Tales of Berseria so it had to be fun if I put up with how broken it was there. The problem I had on Steam was that, after years of complaining about offline authentication issues with their third party DRM WB just flat out refused to bother patching the game like some other places (Square Enix has actually gotten pretty good at keeping their horrible DRM temporary for launch "protection" without eternally punishing paying customers) have. AFAIK to this day they have still not patched the Steam version, it was still broken there when I replaced it here with a working copy of the game, in order to release on GOG at all they have to remove the issue, and since this has been an issue with not only this game but Batman and Middle Earth games as well with them *never* fixing things on Steam I will just hold off from now on until there is a GOG version that actually works and I'm not paying twice for a game that will never be properly patched on Steam.

You're gonna need the wiki.

I have this on Steam, not GOG, so no "verified owner" status here, but I've played probably more than I should there and I don't regret picking up the game, though I paid half price for it, and I might be a little less forgiving if I had bought for full price. Pretty good game, a lot of fun to play and build and curse the RNG for coloring of wild dinos every time you leave the ranch. The big issue is there is not a lot of detail given in game on how to proceed with things, and a lot of stuff isn't apparent on how you find the next step. If you have anohter window up with the wiki in a browser it's not a problem, but I had to look things up a *lot* more here than I have in infinitely more complicated games because there's just not enough detail in game. This spplies both to quests, and to details for mechanics and items. There are also a few bugs, I don't own the DLC so I can;t comment on the remarks about pens being invalidated if not in Normal or Valley with the Halloween DLC installed, but I have seen that a bug reported (and responded to by the dev on Steam forums) two years ago is still an issue for me and the compost bins do *not* keep crops fertilized and only automatically distribute fertilizer to freshy tilled land which isn;t an issue if you are doing things manually but later in the game when you have "Tender" skill dinos doing the work for you the lack of automation reduces the star rating of crops since they are being planted in the wrong soil type.

Rogue-lite Metroidvania

I have to say, despite all the comparisons to Dead Cells I see for this game, it reminds me much more of Sundered than that. Which is a good thing, in my book. I liked Dead Cells, but Sundered was much more my style, and this is closer to it than Dead Cells. Smooth gameplay, lots of abilities and modifiers for them, steady increase in power as you lose anhd come back for more. Played a few runs, on the base game, and came back to add Yamat from the DLC. I will say the cutscenes are laggy and stuttery for me, but that doesn;t extend to the game itself, so only a minor annoyance and not a mark against it. Voice acting is pretty decent, though can get repetitive for the in-game voiced parts outside of cutscenes. Think that applies to any and all games, though. Play it long enough and there's always at least one line you *never* want to hear again.

No Man's Sky

Atrocious launch, more than made up for.

The continued support, feature additions, and regular "Expeditions" make this one of the better value games I've purchased. Despite the rocky start Hello Games didn't abandon No Man's Sky and took the time to support and expand until it's one of the best games I own. The only issue I have is with GOG, not with the game itself, this store has a policy of testing the patches before rolling them out so the game version seems to *always* be one patch behind Steam. They are never *not* released, but they are somewhat delayed, so if you run into a game-breaking bug on a limited time Expedition playing via GOG may force you to fail.
