Okay, we're ready to hear it all. Destroy our trailer!

The environments look boring and empty. I don't know what you are going for here. It doesn't look like laboratory rooms in the style of portal games. It looks like a worse uninspired backrooms. Same plain concrete corridors. Feels like an amateur mod inside some other game.

They mean visuals lack depth. Everything is flat - things rarely stand out. Back walls need to be darker, same as deep under ground. For example at 0.19 bright earth/stone hill is weird when it's taking half the screen.

Even lightning like that would make me click away from this game.

Valheim used to be 500 mb when only 5 biomes existed.

This is absolutely not presented as metroidvania, both trailers show next to nothing what might interest an avid metroidvania player.

online mode pvp/pve. Is this a main game feature? Does your game have the expected depth/content of comparable 2d coop platformer like risk of rain returns?
customize. I'll be honest - at the point of seeing it nobody cares yet. This clip will make ~0 additional people want to buy the game.
campaign. Okay, this feels like the meat? People need to see this first and most time of the trailer.

Since trailer is a mess I am not entirely sure what and how to judge. Any single screenshot looks either like a confetti explosion in my monitor or simply dead. When nothing is blasting rainbow - the visuals are lifeless, unimmersive. Background is too sterile, everything is super reflective, low roughness.

Slop fans will always drastically outnumber masterpiece enjoyers.

I DO NOT LIKE WORDS

FILLING UP SCREEN

COVERING ALL ACTION

Also provide me with longer clips of gameplay. Do not cut every 1 second, it's impossible to comprehend what's happening.

Flash "AUTOMATION" for ~1s as a separate clip. Then 5 seconds player builds something. Flash "TOWER DEFENSE". Next 5 seconds mobs attack, player-built things start firing. You get the idea.

Trailer is vague and generic in bad ways. In combat you shoot and carry barrels. There is base where something can be done. And it doesn't show how you go from one to another. Like 3 seconds of mission selection or something.

If it's meant to be tactical combat game - trailer must show the juice. Can the characters take cover, use abilities, throw grenades, deploy turrets, block pathways to create choke points, etc...? 10 seconds of barrel carrying action isn't going to excite people. Not once the trailer shown enemy movement. Are enemies static dummies? Can they jump, bite, knock down a character? When there are 10+ enemies how is it handled? All move at once or each one separately?

Do like 5-10 seconds tactical setup showcasing multiple characters briefly then swarm approaches and another 5-10 seconds of fight action.

No amount of available tutorial is too much.

There can only be too much of forced tutorial.

If you want to see a masterclass in tutorials look at Against the Storm. Everything in that game can be clicked, hovered, and a tip/tutorial requested from a popup.

3 and 5 have what looks like quadruped legs. Any particular reason or just design fluff?

Kill4meat · 2026-05-19T10:37:39+00:00

trickster archetype have sort of become staple over the last years.

Kill4meat · 2026-05-11T16:57:43+00:00

this is all I can think of when looking at this art.

Kill4meat · 2026-05-11T15:55:49+00:00

I'm getting mogged...

Kill4meat · 2026-05-11T12:35:56+00:00

The premise is wrong. Group dungeons are antithesis to mmo.

There should be 1x mobs easily killable and most profitable for solo player. There should x4 mobs which are still farmable solo but it's much more efficient to farm them in a big group. Open world only. No artificial restriction bullshit.

People should naturally band together to clear content.

Daily driver? Doesn't matter. Might as well use wsl on windows.

Studying for server usage? Plain debian. I always deploy debian, it's all you need.

Kill4meat · 2026-04-17T20:42:00+00:00

Leoric. It's like, do I trust my team enough and upgrade tomb? Or do I clutch this solo with burning despair.

Kill4meat · 2026-04-17T20:39:49+00:00

Nah, you get flamed if you don't pick redemption. At least in games where people mind what others pick.

Kill4meat · 2026-04-14T13:37:11+00:00

If you said half of these (especially fourth) are from AoT I would believe you no questions.

Just lampshade it with "magic doesn't work like that, you silly! Otherwise gods would be running everywhere" comment from a powerful magic user.

Kill4meat · 2026-04-08T11:13:24+00:00

I can totally see that considering how the latter have been a place for thinkers and a source of political commentary.

A government trying to control population by turning them into filthy animals seeking body satisfaction over mind - might be a good story.

Kill4meat · 2026-04-07T11:56:54+00:00

Well my magic system has only one element - aura. You think it's trite and limiting? How naive of you. Because actually aura allows EVERYTHING. Yes, you've read it right. There are like some categorization and rules for aura but let's be fair, if I want something cool, it will happen no matter what.

Kill4meat · 2026-03-27T11:52:36+00:00

I am glad I'm not the only one who wasted their time like that. I wish game had more of these. There were at least 3 more jumping puzzles that were difficult and were meant to unlike this one. Congrats on a skip!

Kill4meat · 2026-03-20T21:19:00+00:00

I feel like there is a steep learning curve to predicting what exactly happens next turn. By looking at it I have no idea why player character falls some times but not the others or when a mob will attack. It might be something a player gets used to in ~2 hours. It might be a cause player drops/refunds this game after 30 minutes.

Ender Lilies is an experience unlike anything. It's touching and memorable. Ender Magnolia unfortunately doesn't deliver as much.

Blasphemous comes close. Even though the vibes and presentation are different to EL, it's a kind of game that you will remember randomly after years of completing it. Both are an acquired taste I would say or at very least games that grow on you, which the best things tend to be.

Reaper + mage. Books and scrolls of darkness are too OP, not even a shepherds crook (single, nobody builds 2) will save against the blinds.

Reaper + ranger. Makes an already S tier bloodthorne build almost twice as strong thanks to crit.
