I've only played two games from Polygon's list: Limbo, which I hated, and The Walking Dead, which I'm not sure I'd personally consider a game? I'm trying to get back into games, though - I just finished Marvel Puzzle Quest. Not as good as the original Puzzle Quest, much better than Puzzle Quest 2, it was fine. I think I would've liked it more if it was harder and if I didn't have to level anyone up or unlock anything. I liked that I could have Storm on my team from the beginning. I didn't like that unlockable Mohawk Storm was treated as a different character, so none of the special moves I unlocked for regular Storm would carry over. I like mohawks more than most, but I'm not going from a Storm with all the special moves to a Storm with none of the special moves. I'm not stupid.
I have some more things to say about Marvel Puzzle Quest so I'm just going to start a new paragraph. There wasn't a whole lot of Marvel artwork, probably one drawing of each hero at rest, one of them attacking, and a profile bust for the status bar. No animation to speak of. There were dozens of heroes, but most of them were unlocked without any special moves, and unlocking special moves was a random grinding thing that took forever. I finally got She-Hulk near the end and added her to my team for the final battles, despite her being completely useless without any moves. Even carrying a full one-third of my team as dead weight it was still too easy - not only did I never lose, I was never even in danger of losing. And I'm not some Bejeweled master, always thinking three turns ahead; I'm mostly thinking about what She-Hulk's bum would look like if I could turn her picture around.
I can tell I liked Marvel Puzzle Quest well enough because I'm just bursting with suggestions for how to make it better, and fluids to spray all over the back of She-Hulk's picture. I don't have any idea how you could make Limbo better except to make it a different game. |
