Downward: Enhanced Edition Review (JolanXBL)
Played just a little so far and here are my observations.
- The Mark mechanic says you can use it as many times as you like, until after the first 'boss' then you only get 2 charges.. so that's a lie.
- I used the Mark to get behind the first boss but it instant turns 180 degrees making the mechanic completely useless with anything that can turn to face you.
- The upgrades screen doesn't explain what anything is except health, so you're upgrading whatever?
- Much of the items in the upgrade menu are in Spanish.
- The wall mechanic says how to wall-run and jump off, but then the next 2 wall sections have a bouncing auto-jump added to them.
- Much of the items in the upgrade menu are in Spanish.
- There's a climb animation but no animation for picking up, using a lever or drinking.
- Falling (dying) doesn't cost anything, until it suddenly does.
- There's an invisible 'killbox' when you fall too far, except in areas where there isn't.
With all things considered within the first few minutes of gameplay, I still recommend it for the platforming and world detail.
