✦ AI summary

Laika is a challenging platformer that players find genuinely fun and engaging, but it suffers from significant technical and design issues that undermine the experience. Common complaints include poor optimization causing excessive CPU usage, unfair difficulty stemming from imprecise hitboxes and unclear mechanics rather than skill-based challenge, buggy platform sections, and the need to replay large segments from the beginning after each failure.

only 99 cents but the amount of cpu this game uses is mind blowing. It's demanding more than most AAA games. it's crazy and whatever is causing that needs to be fixed. Hopefully since the game is in early access we will see a change there. This game also just falls under the category of would be way easier if it wasn't just a terribly constructed game. The control of the character is awful and your hitbox is like 1.5x what you actually look like. So, you'll be caught by stuff you're clearly missing or haven't touched yet. I've always enjoyed difficult platformers, and when I saw this one described as the "hardest platformer on steam" I was pretty excited to give it a try. Unfortunately its just a game that plays awfully and thats what they want to call a challenge. There is already way too many games like that. Seriously don't need another. I'm all for troll spots where you finally make it to a new spot and the first platform just falls under you and kills you. That stuff is great. Same with hard jumps and other things that human error causes the downfall. Not just crappy worse than ancient character control. Like I said already it's too played out. So hopefully with this being an…

Great and difficult platformer, my only issue is the green platforms at the very end don't feel fair, they're very buggy and it feels like a gamble whether you land on the platform or not. A shadow that appears beneath the robot would also be nice, so that you can see exactly where you're landing

Poor optimization and a "F*ck you" level of difficulty. The only way you are getting through this is by trial and error. But since you respawn at the beginning you kind of have to repeat everything a housand times and that takes time. Artificial difficulty because not everything is telegraphed or shown. Literally the floor can give in or something random can get you. You do not know what color or material does what until you try. I do not like this "difficulty". It is just made for masochists.

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
