Crymachina Review (The True Nep)
I'm only 30 min in (at this first time of writing - and yes I will finish it and update this review) and I have to admit, that I want to like the game, but sadly it feels way to clunky... Let me explain:
The music is this games highlight. It shines bright and makes it almost worth it, but the way the characters move, feels like a downgrade from any other game, it clunky, imprecise, stiff and robotic (But not in a way that feels good or intentional).
The story so far feels alright, I'm not a huge fan of the attempt to make ExP an in universe thing, since they made it so that killing stuff makes a robot more human? Which makes so little sense to me that I have to mention it. Other than that, I kinda like the story and the setting, but I hate being dragged out of cutscenes to play the game, which is a testament to how awful it feels. Moving slowly makes your character slowly glide over the floor, characters sometimes hold weapons in their hands at wrong moments, and it just feels like there is a general lack of understanding what makes a game fun to play.
It feels like a visualnovel with forced gameplay - I can't express it any better way.
Buy it on huge discount if you must.
Imho
Crystar is better...
