DreamWorks Dragons: Dawn of New Riders

[code]Played on a Steamdeck [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45534557/]@MatureContent[/url][/code] I do not understand how this game has a very positive rating with its length and price tag, it doesn't deserve it. This is a very simple and boring hack and slash that is nothing more than a collection of generic maps with a boss at the end. The combat mechanics are also just plain and don't offer much variation, with the only interesting part being able to switch between the rider and the dragon. This makes sense when you think of it as a game for kids, but the problem is that there are other parts of the game which makes it feel like it isn't. The biggest issue I see with this game being designed with kids in mind is first that none of the dialogue is voiced and all text based. There is just way too much reading in this game and no kid would ever read all of this dialogue, so why bother writing it? It isn't exactly fast to skip either and took up quite a lot of the play time. Another issue is that looking at the map for directions is kinda necessary to traverse it, with no easy way of really finding your way without it. This is not a big deal for adults, but this game …

Actually a really good game. You can tell there was a lot of love for the franchise put into it, unlike what we got with HTTYD 3 and The Nine Realms. The story make sense, stays true to the franchise and ties into the actual lore-pieces of other games, as Eir is the little sister of Nikora Stormheart, a villain from a School of Dragons expansion, without pointing at it like "SEE?? LOOK?? THAT OTHER GAME YOU LIKE, WE HAVE REFERENCES!!!" Nikora isn't mentioned at all here. I didn't buy it earlier because I looked at the protagonists and thought "oh, another standard main character with a cute dorky dragon that faintly looks like Toothless so the kids can feel special while DreamWorks isn't hurt that there's more than ONE Nightfury". I knew the Chimeragon only from School of Dragons (who looks like a small Bewilderbeast) and didn't want to buy something half-assed that couldn't be bothered to give their own species a name! And, well, how stupid I look! There was no oversight, the SoD Chimeragon is a "prototype" of the hybrid we see in this game! Apparently, the Chimeragon is a mix of Bewilderbeast, Sentinel, Skrill and Night(/Light?)fury! Yes, I'm an adult and I love HTTYD. I look…

idk

yuh

pretty god just the puzzle and logic

I LOVE FLYING AND THE PVP IN THIS GAME
