Seraph

My PC is rather powerful as it can play games like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 with no problems. But this game doesn't even launch and will crash back to desktop after a few seconds. Apparently quite a few others are having the same issue. Some say it is an Nvida driver issue, but I am not sure. Regardless, the developer is silent on the matter is and no where to be found. If any member of Steam reads this, this game should be de-listed or at the very least come with a warning. Do not buy this game.

Lame at his best. Very long in term of progression but since it doesn't really help you go farther it's hard to complain about it. Overall, gameplay is none existent, you'll press fire button and somtimes ability ones. Same ennemies from beginning to the end. Tried to finish but it bored me like never a game did before, it's not especially hard just boring.

Somehow everything feels a little bit wrong and I don't even know how.

Seraph isn’t anything special. All-around, its presentation is pretty generic. The environments are visually plastered with dull office colors that mostly serve to allow the colored projectiles to stand out, except for the blood-red drapery in the last area. The demon designs aren’t very original, with appearances from familiar archetypes like the flesh spider, the flesh centaur, the pointy succubus, etc. The story is delivered in unvoiced back and forth dialogues that leave a lot to be desired in engagement and exposition. That said, while the presentation is forgettable, the gameplay is solid enough. The jumping isn’t quite as fluid as I’d like, and the hitboxes are a bit strict, but the auto-aim, double jump, and phasing give you enough freedom that they aren’t a big issue. It can be a tough fight to make it to the next checkpoint, but you keep accumulating crafting materials and crystals to power yourself up, so you incrementally increase your experience, health, and damage buffs as you retry the harder stages. It was hard to distinguish the pickups, so it felt a little arbitrary, but it wasn’t really an obstacle. The difficulty worked pretty well for me, though normal…

not that fun but mediocore
