    combat system and platforming both work, neither one ever quite becomes the reason you remember the game

    Showed it to my kid recently, the combos landed fine, the platforming sections lost him fast

    SilentHunter2

    Against Limbo the comparison barely makes sense since the whole appeal here is momentum and combos, Limbo is built on stillness and dread, both hold up fine on their own terms

    My roommate and I passed the controller every time we hit a rough fight. Took us way longer than it should have.

    Y si el problema no es el juego sino con quién lo comparan siempre? Portal 2 no compite en el mismo terreno para nada, y aun así lo usan como vara para medir todo

  3. NeonSniper

    Finished it twice back to back on release week.

    Yo tb lo jugué esos días, en casa de mi prima, buenísimos recuerdos.

    What holds up best is the momentum between platforming and combat, you rarely stop moving for long, and that pacing choice is what makes the whole thing feel tighter than most games in the genre from that era.

    CoopPilot2007

    Agreed on the pacing, though the combat itself feels a bit simple once you've seen the same combos work on everything.

    I only play an hour or so a week these days, and this is one of the few older games where that's still enough to enjoy a session, so I get why it holds its rank, does anyone else play in short bursts like that?

  6. NeonWarden

    I keep seeing it face Portal 2 and losing more often than not. It's a solid action game but it's just not on the same level of design ambition, and the ranking reflects that fairly well.

    Pagac35

    It loses to Portal 2 a lot but that's a rough comparison to begin with, one's a puzzle box and the other wants you moving and fighting constantly, judged on what it actually tries to do it holds up fine

    ArcadeWarden2

    Design ambition or not, I still remember it being the one my brother and I actually finished together

    fatima_barragan

    Pues yo sigo prefiriéndolo a Portal 2, aunque sé que aquí soy minoría.

    It sits right where it belongs for me, not a masterpiece but consistently fun enough to keep beating strong contenders.

    Yo también jugaba esa época, y sigo pensando que se merece estar donde está

    CoopPhoenix2010

    Alguien más lo jugó en esa época o soy el único?

    308e place, 50% de victoires, c'est exactement le genre de score qui ne dit rien de spécial et pourtant on en débat sans fin.

    ArcadeMaster

    estoy de acuerdo en que el 50% es justo, refleja bien un juego sólido sin ser excepcional, y me parece un lugar honesto para él

    Same energy here, I played it solid two weeks straight and never once felt like it was overstaying its welcome.

    CoopKnight4

    Same feeling here, that 50% score never bothered me, it just seems accurate for what the game actually delivers.

    Homenick28

    Anyone else feel like the habit of voting kind of props it up more than the actual game does?

    LuckyPlayer

    Et niveau maniabilité il est quand même plus nerveux que Limbo, faut juste accepter que la comparaison ne veut rien dire à la base.

    Mariah_93

    i feel like it's a bit overrated tbh

  9. ÁngelesSamurai

    Comparado con Limbo es otro rollo totalmente, uno es acción pura y el otro atmósfera, no sé pq siempre se enfrentan tanto.

  10. IronKid2

    Lo comparan con Little Nightmares como si fueran primos, cuando uno es puzzles atmosféricos y el otro es acción con espada, pero bueno, el algoritmo de emparejamientos hace lo que quiere.

  11. Arcade_Maillard

    Pourquoi il tombe toujours contre les mêmes quatre jeux dans les duels, personne n'a remarqué le motif

    PixelSamurai

    Ça résume bien le souci du classement, on lui colle des adversaires qui n'ont rien à voir avec son genre.

  12. Susan_82

    Je le trouve un peu haut placé pour ce qu'il propose vraiment...

  13. Lopes69

    pas convaincu qu'il mérite d'être aussi souvent cité face à des jeux comme portal 2, franchement ça n'a rien à voir

  14. GlitchOwl95

    Franchement je le vois passer en duel tellement souvent que je finis par me demander si c'est vraiment le jeu qui gagne ou juste l'habitude des votants, enfin bref, il tient sa place quoi.

    LootLegend682

    igual me pasó, siempre pierde contra Portal 2 en los duelos que veo, ya ni sorprende
