Disorder

I don't play platformers. Period. Last time I grinded one was probably back in the '80s. Yes, I'm old, really old. Just playing a vanilla platformer is challenging for me. Handling the dual 'dimension' switch...ok.. Throw in bullet dodging, strobing lights, dark outs, fluctuating gravity (water), and then upside down mechanics, I surrender. After about an hour and half, my head was swimming and I had to put the game down. So I'm not evaluating how good this is among other challenging platformers. What I like is the 'originality' of the story premise. It is maybe uncomfortable and intrusive for some. Still, it ties the emotional disorder to the chaotic disorder of the game mechanics. Nicely done. I think it deserves a thumbs up for just the experience, after all it's free. Price of admission is two tylenols. I also respect the game designer(s) who wanted to share the personal and painful experience.

Disorder is a fantastic game. The way the emotional fluctuation of mental difficulties is mirrored into the the puzzle mechanics really took me by surprise. Also the challenge of the puzzles is really formidable. So far it has entertained me more than many $60 games.

Disorder is a small competitive action game that focuses on fast matches, direct combat and trying to outplay the other side. The experience is built around quick decision-making rather than a huge single-player campaign, so I spend most of my time learning the mechanics, improving my reactions and figuring out how to approach different opponents. The combat is the main attraction for me. Matches can become intense quickly, and I have to pay attention to positioning, timing and the behaviour of the other players. When I manage to predict an opponent and turn a difficult situation in my favour, the game can provide a satisfying sense of improvement. The straightforward structure also makes it easy to get into. I do not need to spend hours learning a complicated story before I can start playing, and the focus remains on the actual matches. That makes it suitable for short sessions where I want something competitive without committing to a long campaign. I also like that success depends on learning rather than simply having better equipment. Improving my understanding of the maps, mechanics and enemy behaviour can make a noticeable difference. That gives me a reason to keep practis…
