“I wish Supergiant would get the roguelite bug out of their system and make sequels to Bastion and then Transistor finally.”

Was what I typed in our group chat. The three of us are mid to late 30s with me being the oldest by 3 months.

To say it went over like a brick balloon would be an understatement. So, I wanted to see if fellow game players had thoughts on it. Am I crazy? Do you agree?

    Sparse gameplay, tied together with lots and lots of implied worldbuilding in a lore book that contains most of the story. The gameplay was okay when you got to it, but there was far too much written story locked up, instead of “show, don’t tell”.

    Also, the game wants you to finish six tournaments before you get any sort of decent ending.

      Huh, interesting. I finished one tournament, and I felt like that was the end. I didn’t realize there was more story if you kept going.

      I really liked the story and interactive novel parts of it. The sports ball part was alright as variety, but the rest of the game was the best part.
