EOS 27

⠀

EOS 27 is one of literally thousands of retro 2D platformers infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere... and I'm not kidding. Searching for "platformers" on the Steam store page yields over 17,000 results! Is this one of the best of those? Absolutely not. This action/precision platformer hybrid has you doing a bit of dodging and a bit of precision jumping... but the overall quality here would look bad if this was launched in 1992... and today, wow, this is just bad. Platforming is an old, mostly dead genre, and this lacklustre experience, while it doesn't have an upfront cost, isn't saving the genre... it's no surprise this failed to capture any attention from gamers in the era of immersive 3D gaming. This features really godawful pixelcrap/MS-paint "art" instead of real graphics. It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter. What matters is that this looks much worse than most other games because of that decision, and that's a major deterrent to gamers. Games like Terraria and Stardew Valley succeed…

It is basically Terraria but only the arena building and bossfight. It is fairly short and it is free! (the best price) The bosses are challenging enough that you need to at least put some effort to your arena building to beat The controls took a while to get used to though. It felt like you're constantly slipping on ice And I wish there is a way to zoom out the screen when fighting bosses Also, quite high system requirement for a simple 2D game and in my experience will sometimes crash if you play on a low end computer

Nice simple pixel story of two people trying to get off planet. I think this was simple and thought out mechanics are good, level up skills to take down enemies with some skill required and effort. I think this is completeable. And single player. ANd a story plot that explains why there is no voice acting.

[h1]Before I played EOS 27, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]
