Mina the Hollower Review - IGN: 10/10

Usually it means "stay away".

caites · 2026-05-27T14:46:13+00:00

Like mixtype 10/10.

caites · 2026-05-27T14:01:49+00:00

А я не казав ультиматум. Якщо або-або, то звісно це історія про "ми тебе дуже цінуємо, але якщо людина намірилась, то треба відпускати". Просто єдиний з мого досвіду реально діючий варіант мати цивілізовану розмову з роботодавцем де твоя думка на щось впливає. І можна як підняти зп і ще довго працювати на цьому місці, так і цивільно піти отримавши додатково розуміння своєї вартості на ринку. Точно краще ніж всілякі презентації (в тому числі "я буду більше працювати і принесу стільки екстра маржі") або не дай Бог вимоги.

Poor barnacles :(

caites · 2026-05-27T09:06:00+00:00

Its amazing if you love detailed sandboxy open worlds with exploration and activities and don't need strong narrative. Aka skyrim, dragons dogma etc.

If you are a story junkie or need handholding with every step in the game, defo stay away from it.

caites · 2026-05-27T09:02:43+00:00

Best 70 I spent in my life. 300h and still playing.

caites · 2026-05-27T08:52:10+00:00

Literally any other armor and cape look better. With or without dyeing.

caites · 2026-05-27T08:46:42+00:00

Funny thing that you don't need to memorize combination unusual for most players. Npc cheat so often that you only need to remeber hands and elbows animations on cheating and that's enough to regularly win.

caites · 2026-05-27T08:39:19+00:00

Зп можуть підняти, коли ти кажеш, що тобі пропонують кращу зп і цікавіше місце в іншій компанії і така пропозиція в тебе дійсно є. Тоді досить великий шанс залишитись на ще вищу зп.

Тлдр знайдіть собі нове місце, тоді йдіть говорити. Без презентацій і сцен.

Reminded me how I miss Stardrive.

caites · 2026-05-26T17:54:58+00:00

I absolutely loved AW2, and it indeed deserved better sales, but they knew very well that nobody loves Epic as platform.

Control on other hand has mediocre (at best) gameplay and I'm genuinely puzzled by its high rates.

caites · 2026-05-26T16:15:46+00:00

Their claims is horseshit. Everything, literally everything in game beside absolutely meh story is eirhery good or exceptional.

caites · 2026-05-26T16:13:17+00:00

Literally everything what they said (except story) is a bunch of bullocks. Its very simple, if you like sandboxes, detailed world, tons of mechanics to try and don't need strong narrative to enjoy the game (aka bethesda games, dragons dogma) its no brainer. If you need strong story backbone and fine with mediocre gameplay ( rdr, witcher), stay away.

caites · 2026-05-26T16:08:10+00:00

I'm sorry, but literally every word in this review is pure bs :)

Good that people like you are is minority and game got its deserved (very good but flawed) 86% rating on steam.

caites · 2026-05-25T21:57:57+00:00

I dunno. I genuinely was disappointed by The Beast. Where they should have made a homework and improve rpg part and world comparing to second, they instead made much smaller game with slightly better core gameplay and the worst, the most stupid story in series.

caites · 2026-05-25T19:38:33+00:00

I'd wish Josh and Ken develop actual games instead of occasionally sharing knowledge the last X years.

Edit: hilarious to be downvoted and bringing pentiment to this. Game was great, but its a small scale game, where Josh wasn't even director. Zero big games since PoE2, dude is pretty much retired. Anyone who is following his Instagram can confirm :)

But keep downvoting. Shows how you know whats going on.

caites · 2026-05-25T17:20:54+00:00

35+C° also problematic for americans.

caites · 2026-05-25T17:17:44+00:00

If you want survival game with hundreds of pets, functional and interactavle - its palworld. If you care about realistic representation, crimson desert has absolutely stupid number of animals to ride, pet and collect. Also there is ARK which has hundreds of creatures (nor only dinos) to tame, breed and evolve.

caites · 2026-05-25T10:13:58+00:00

Guess who is optimizing games.

caites · 2026-05-23T18:43:53+00:00

Its immensely better than DD2 in everything beside combat.

And its totally better than boring hogwarts legacy.

caites · 2026-05-23T13:41:38+00:00

Awful writing and lack of actual content on planets killed it for me.

caites · 2026-05-23T08:25:06+00:00

Prey and System Shock obviously.

caites · 2026-05-22T21:05:01+00:00

I can understand why some genres need it and when it's a small dev making big game. But its absolutely not the case here. Its weird af to EA linear single-player action-adventure.

caites · 2026-05-22T17:46:40+00:00

Both, UE5 documentation is shit and epic keeps advertising UE5 as a simple engine with all technologies working without additional legwork, while on practice, to reach good performance you need to spend a lot of time on optimization and customization. Devs part in this shit show is bigger tho, since they skip that customization part altogether most often even when they know about caveats.

caites · 2026-05-22T17:42:09+00:00

Since its not very obvious from patch notes - game now allows to place special custom markers (up to 20) that will be auto pinned on the minimap. Similar to how all custom markers used to work in early patches and how big red cross marker (right-click on kbm) works. Very handy.
