Hextech Mayhem: A League of Legends Story™

nah, might look cool and all, but the amount of witchcraft you have to perform if you want any actual meaningful progression is unreasonable, and learning every map/song plus inputting the right commands with these goofy ah controls didn't feel fun once to me when I was actually wondering what my next play is. Therefore, my best play was probably to avoid buying the game altogether, is what I came to realize. Might just be me, but as a senile fossil hands grunt I do not recommend.

It's so clunky and unnecessarily punishing

Bought this game back when it came out to support Riot Forge, dropped it after the first 10 tracks. Recently I decided to go back and 100% it. I quickly realized that this is the worst Rhythm game I've played. Hidden notes aren't new to Rhythm games, but this game makes them the fking norm for some reason. If you want to get anything higher than a Diamond rating, it's gonna be nearly impossible prior to finishing the game at least once. When you finish the game for the first time, 2 new modes unlock. Full action, and Impossible. Full action shows you all the hidden notes, and this is where you have to memorize them to go back to normal mode and achieve higher ratings, I think that's just stupid. Impossible mode all notes are hidden, okay whatever, par for the course. But why not make full action mode the default mode for the game? I was trying to achieve higher ratings on normal as I was playing the game for the first time, had I known full action was going to unlock after beating it, I would've done that right away instead of wasting my time. As if that weren't enough, this game has HORRIBLE visual clarity, there is so much ♥♥♥♥ going on in the background and foreground in…

[h1] 100% recommend, this game is a misunderstood masterpiece... but I feel like the way it was advertised is part of the misunderstanding [/h1] To get down to brass tacks, yes I think you should try this game, no this isn't just a simple rhythm game but instead is a meticulously and lovingly designed MUSIC platform game... there IS difference that I'll get to soon. But just to be clear, this is one of my all time favourite games, my favourite """rhythm game""" and I don't think I've even gotten to all this game has to offer and I just perfect ranked EVERY stage. [h2] Music and Aesthetics [/h2] If the equivalent of a playable saturday morning cartoon about a crazy explosive obsessed maniac bounding around wackified landscapes to a soundtrack of eccentric organ heavy rock... yea maybe you're in the wrong place, but if that is up your alley Hextech mayhem, whilst I think could've been pushed futher visually in some very pedantic and nitpicky places is a beautiful game, where the star of the show, Ziggs, is so lovingly animated with so much fun squash and stretch, I think its hard to not be charmed by this game if its even minorly appealing to you. I also think that despite the cons…

The music is fine the first level or two but then all the tracks start to blend together and it becomes less fun once the gimmick starts to wear off which is quite fast. The DLCs might help with this but the fact that there isn't a post-development bundle. Kind of feels like a hybrid of Muse Dash and GeoDash but includes the parts I dislike about both.
