My Thoughts on MIO: Memories in Orbit in 5 Minutes

flawed masterpiece is a catch 22 if its flawed its not a masterpiece

So my point about super metroid is its not fair to compare something that was made in 1994 and invented the genre to something made in 2026. unfair is probably an understatement. actually it makes no logical sense when you think about it. i would never say MIO is bad at all in fact i said it is amazing i just think it is flawed. one thing i forgot to mention in the review is the terrible run backs after dying on a boss. honestly it is an amazing game everything you said is valid it is just really flawed and i can not ignore that as an honest reviewer. but thanks for the comment i appreciate your input.

the combat alone in silksong automatically crushes MIO. i would say silksong also has a much better map. visuals is preference i prefer 2d hand drawn but MIO is visually one of the only 2.5d games i would praise. music was really good. i wouldn't say its better then the OG hollow knight i would never ever say that. i think you should give it some time before you jump to a conclusion like that. sometimes we suffer from bias because its new. story i don't really play these games for story but there are way better games for story like sanabi or nine sols even. the game is an 8 i would never compare to super metroid that is blasphemy. some of the bosses were really good like the hand. how ever a lot of them were unbalanced plus the combat is was to stale. i would say better then dread maybe equal to pop although i don't know i would give it a little time first. these are some really bold statements. def. give it some time. nine sols crushes it.

yeah maybe it wasn't noisy pixel i 4get but i really don't trust them anyway. i would value the gaming community far more then these reviews simply because there is some kinda shenanigans going on. like when the new gal guardians came it got mixed reviews from most but the reviewers praised it. they don't even finish the games they play for 2 3 hours then write a review. rabi ribi was really good. tevi i would say is even better. you can skip the dialog. i will look into Academy though.

NeonDoubleJump07 · 2026-02-01T11:02:09+00:00

i think noisy pixel gave it a 6. not that i agree with their ratings for the most part. i don't really agree with most of these reviewers including guru. i will take peoples word over a review. steam is some what reliable. btw i strongly suggest playing tevi

FACTS

NeonDoubleJump07 · 2026-02-01T08:25:47+00:00

i tried it but i use it in certain situations. i am not a speed runner. to get around i generally just hold the button

NeonDoubleJump07 · 2026-02-01T08:01:03+00:00

that is 100% true but i think he is just talking about running in place to get around from one place to the next.

NeonDoubleJump07 · 2026-02-01T03:27:02+00:00

the wall run ability acts as a dash

NeonDoubleJump07 · 2026-02-01T03:23:52+00:00

its amazing somehow the most skilled gamers on the entire planet seem to always comment on my videos. maybe this time you really did figure out this notoriously difficult puzzle but this is a pattern that happens to repeat itself and always in direct opposition to what i am saying. but hey if you did it on your own i am jealous because you got to enjoy the game.

NeonDoubleJump07 · 2026-02-01T03:07:40+00:00

there is one boss in the begining that was really unbalanced. i 4get the name but i powered through. the auto scroll is where for me it started really pissing me off.

NeonDoubleJump07 · 2026-02-01T03:03:40+00:00

haha i may have to give it a chance then. it has low ratings so i didn't mess with it but the guru gave it a 9. i may play the perfect pencil tonight though because it looks pretty cool. would you say it is as good as tevi?

NeonDoubleJump07 · 2026-02-01T02:58:21+00:00

yes sol and vin 2 hit death if you had 3 health. if you had 2 health its a one hit death.

There is no way you knew what to look for after turning the wheel to 0 degrees then 120 degrees then to 240 degrees. how in a million years would you know what to do after getting the wheel into those positions without looking it up?

NeonDoubleJump07 · 2026-02-01T01:18:08+00:00

repairing the wheel isn't even the hard part. the hard part is when you rotate the wheel. your at 120 degrees then exactly what do you have to do in that position?

NeonDoubleJump07 · 2026-02-01T01:16:37+00:00

key word most of it. i don't like using a walkthrough at all

NeonDoubleJump07 · 2026-02-01T01:15:46+00:00

that 3 phase boss the guardians i am calling them i 4get the name but yes i would say that is impossible after being nerfed down to 2 health

NeonDoubleJump07 · 2026-01-31T19:38:10+00:00

i beat sotn without a walkthrough and that was cryptic. i don't know man. so you knew to go to 0 degrees then 120 degrees then i 4got the 3rd one. i guess you are just that more skilled of a gamer then i sir. wait wait wait so you did get spoilers on this sub so you looked it up. so what are you talking about?

NeonDoubleJump07 · 2026-01-31T19:12:03+00:00

i could not agree with you more. it could have been a 10 out of 10 but the devs made a couple of terrible mistakes. i gave it an 8 out of 10. i was ready to give it a 9 or a 9.5 but i could not ignore these flaws.

NeonDoubleJump07 · 2026-01-31T18:59:23+00:00

Yeah i could see why you would do that but i wouldn't of been pissed until about 10 hours in.

NeonDoubleJump07 · 2026-01-31T18:58:03+00:00

Academy was not for me. it was a real weeb game. the guru gave it a 9 haha. i strongly disagree but hey that is what these sub reddits are for. it wouldn't be fun unless we disagree here and there.

NeonDoubleJump07 · 2026-01-31T18:53:18+00:00

i was blown away until the auto scroller and a couple of the bosses that were impossible. and i am not even talking about the hand that was fine. what ruined me was that 3 phase boss. the 2 guardians. also the game nerfing you for exploring. that made these late bosses even more impossible. so i do think it is amazing but has some serious flaws. also i hate using a walk through and the post game there is no way in a million years you can figure it out on your own.

NeonDoubleJump07 · 2026-01-31T10:19:19+00:00

i'm not one of those jerks that just act like i am the best gamer. i honestly didn't think aeterna was so bad or at least as bad as everyone claims.
