your “real mismatch between what it lets you do and what it asks you to do” line sums up perfectly what i tried to express in my review

feels like a design clash rather than a skill issue

I was thinking about how I'd fix it, and having one or two more ways to control space would actually work, although that does stray further towards turning Michelle into an inexplicable disco assassin. I'm thinking something like the fire grenades from RE4.

i found some success w/ panic-firing shotgun, maybe if the spread was stronger, or it did more damage w/o third eye, any more defined utility than "stronger pistol" p much

or if the axe was better!

i get not wanting to compromise the main gimmick, and also wanting to do the horde scene, but jeez

I just did what I always did and tried to use the environment. When in doubt, I always try to force things to come at me through a bottleneck.

for the third generator i just had them follow me in a circle around it and slowly charged when i could; got sick of dealing with the power-stopping guys

no idea how i survived the one with the knights towards the end, felt so helpless watching robyn constantly charge into enemies

I think that one might be some kind of ending trigger rather than an actual fight. She ran out of health near the end and the game continued, seemingly without greater consequence.

My column and the other articles on @hard-drive.net are paid for via crowdfunding. If you enjoy this piece or the satire on the main site, please consider throwing a few bucks into the tin:

And, of course, I'm a freelance writer, editor, and general word nerd who's always looking for more clients and consultancies. Let's get some work done.
