Demon Tides

Do you like open world 3d platformers with a lot of charm and collectables? I know i do. Movement options are great and varied. Equipment can allow you to customize how you want to control your character. If you liked "hat in time" or "bowsers fury" then you cant go wrong with this. I honestly think the creator must have really liked bowsers fury and wanted more since thats a short game. I have a few complaints but they are so small they arent worth mentioning.

Fun platformer, had a great time just exploring from island to island, very reminiscent of Wind Waker for that sort of mechanic, mixed with Hat in Time style platforming. Most of the mechanics work and feel fluid in this game. Opticas, special power ups that are used in some challenges, felt fun and easy to use and the temporary checkpoint from Demon Turf returns but isn't as necessary or limited. Also, there are upgrades in the form of Talismans that add/modify your abilities, but they are not required to do most challenges (unless the final optional level does not require them but it didn't feel it, but it makes sense as it is the final level for 100%) However, that doesn't mean this game is perfect. Some of the mechanics, whilst fluid on the most part, do have some issues here and there. Whilst there is a wall running mechanic that works on the most part, here and there it can be quite clunky (for example, the final level after getting all of the Golden Gears, moving from a curved to a flat surface was not intuitive here at all and rarely worked leading to frustration). The Opticas, whilst fun, were limited to challenge islands (though you do get an upgrade to be able to use th…

Fabraz excels in making a player character who's moveset flows together so well, rivaling Mario Odyssey's move chaining. Along with a sleek cell-shaded aesthetic, a fun island-dotted ocean as a setting, and banging OST, Demon Tides was slated to be a homerun for me. Unfortunately, the middling level design mixed with some rough edges with certain mechanics made me happy to put down the controller when my time with this game was done. Overall enjoyable, but not something that's going to find itself among the greats.

This is the best modern 3D platform. It captures that movement magic from the classics and brings in plenty of modern improvements. Genuinely a good story, expansive world and a great soundtrack. Strongly recommended.

Very good 3d Platformer. The open world and the writing weren't really my thing, but the platforming itself is really fun

A very fun platformer open world. I especially like how the movement abilities chain together. Characters are fun as well, the visuals are beautiful, and it got overall a very good ambiance
