FlyKnight (2025) 7/10
King's Field, RuneScape and literal bugs. Such an odd combo, very unique vibe. An unbalanced mess and way less demanding than those two inspirations would let on. I'd love to see what the developer would do with an expanded scope and reexamining the ideas of this.

Frustrates me the more i think about it. Adds new neat features, removes some that work. And iterates on the stuff that didn't work. Every weapon took a serious downgrade, especially the shotgun. Bizarrely bad cutscene direction. Generally mediocre by the end.
"It's made for kids" never excuse these cash grabs. Looks are pleasing, animations too but nothing has any life or flair to it. The attack moves are unnecessarily cumbersome to perform. Why switch off from Obelix when he has the magic menhir.
New favorite idle game! It visually acting like a second taskbar immensely helps the appeal to always keep it open. It's just very satisfying to watch. The typical ascension system being replaced with starting a map with zero progress crossover, not fuckin' with it.
This game entirely wins on its presentation departments. OST perfectly compliments the vibrant tech world. Endearingly camp story. Too bad the actual game is dull at best, and bafflingly frustrating at worst. Carries a shocking amount of DNA on to future Monolith titles.
It's a shmup. Feels and looks great! The prerendered/early 3D styled bugs tickles my brain just right. The game getting slowdown was always hype. Don't yet have the knowledge to properly assess negatives and positives between them.
Classic beat 'em up that's lacks flair, juice and variety. Or maybe just not to be twice its required length. Feels like a game that desperately needed another pass, and a year more in development, which i imagine the publisher both refused.
Just kidding, I just unironically love TRON 2.0.
