    Undertale has no VO Deltarune has no VO Celeste has no VO Dead Cells has no VO No Man's Sky has no VO OneShot has no VO Stardew Valley has no VO You can make a great game without a VO. Pretending like the only way to do anything as an indie is to use AI is extremely harmful.

    That it's made by the Dead Cells devs and is catching all this heat out of nowhere is ALSO insane, because when Dead Cells had its CV collab DLC, people hoisted it up to the high heavens, saying the devs should be allowed to make their own CV game. "Just give the series to these guys." (cont.)

    belmont's curse demo thoughts - The worst expository dialogue I've ever seen - The single track I heard is terminally sauceless in a series renowned for deeply sauceful music - The sound design is very weak and it hurts the game feel - It's *way* better than Dead Cells

    My honest opinion of the Castlevania demo: Just play Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth instead. I didn't like Dead Cells and I was super skeptical about the new game being made by that studio, no shade to them, but this isn't it for me. It makes me so upset. I want to be excited but I can't.

    I've never played Dead Cells but you can really tell these devs have only made roguelites, where the absurdly powerful builds you can luck into can be a crutch for terrible game feel. No such luck in a 2D Igarashi style Castlevania, where movement and enemy interaction really has to feel good

    I tried Hades, made slow progress up to the second boss. Then got an insane RNG load out and trounced everything, including the final boss. I think it was 14 runs in total. I never played the game again after that. It just felt pointless I recently played Dead Cells and enjoyed it - with assists

    Felt similarly (exception: haven't played Dead Cells). My thought was the exposition may have been an attempt to appeal to people that only watched the animated series? It didn't feel right. I liked using the whip to swing around. Maybe the full game picks up after you get more abilities like that.

    I think there are a few who are hating on the game, but the majority seems genuinely excited. Evil Empire did a great job and built on what they and Motion Twin started with Dead Cells and the Return to Castlevania DLC. Hopefully, this continues much like Nintendo and Mercury Steam.
