What Are You Playing?

Just picked up Minishoot Adventures after playing the full demo. $15 on Steam. It is in the most literal ways you can imagine: Zelda 1 + Geometry Wars.

Tunic. Fun game, if a little weird. Also, what a strange choice to have most things expressed in a fictional language! Pretty irritating actually. I can see the Zelda influence too, except I hated Link’s Awakening on the Switch. Let’s see where this goes.

Is it that uncommon? Ico and Shadow of the Colossus do the same thing, as I recall.

Sure, but those games translate what they’re saying. Tunic leaves you in the dark most of the time. The game is literally mostly gibberish and you have to piece together what everything is supposed to mean or do. It would make FromSoft blush

Edit: As an example, the game will give you a prompt such as “@*#%(@?”. You’re supposed to select Yes or No to that and so on.

I bought Nioh 1 and 2 recently, but hadn’t played them yet. I’ve decided it’s now time to do so.
