Simple game with a very interesting mechanic and really hard! I've played the first 6 levels and I faced some pretty tough parts already, I can't even imagine what it'll be like to play the last levels haha

[h1]You will die. A lot.[/h1] Full review: https://www.keengamer.com/articles/reviews/pc-reviews/iota-review-chillin-to-killin-pc/ iota is a game that heeds the call for the challenge enthusiast in many players, employing restrictions that call back to even retro-level difficulty. Whether this appeals to you will be the deciding factor in giving the game a chance, as much else is too bare to provide additional motivation. Difficulty for difficulty's sake, it's a challenge to the world. If not for the pleasant audio/visual presentation, this would be a fantastic game for the hardcore and completely passable to all else. + Visual prominence through simplicity and dreamy colors + Audio is indeed a "bop" + Great challenge for those searching for it - Hinges too much on that challenge, alternatively - Little reward/motivation to face insane difficulty

Very very very hard, but I did it ! It's very fun but frustrating. casual players, go away

Quick Score: 4/5 Notes: Overall a solid game. A long time ago i initially rage quit and refunded this game, decided to give it another shot, don't entirely regret it. The game is still incredibly rage inducing so be warned. If you have ever played VVVVVV, the gameplay is essentially super gravitron but you have control over your falling speed. The main reason the game is often so infuriating is because the checkpoints are frequently long as ****, paired with the games more often than not "puzzly" level design requiring trial and error, and you have a recipe for pain. But the general gameplay is good, looks decent enough, soundtrack is just remixes of public domain classical music which is fine.

Sekiro cheap: what our price record shows, and what to avoid

Search Sekiro cheap and the results are keyshop listings, not a store discount. Our three-month price record explains the gap, and why so few live offers changes the advice.
