✦ AI summary

SENTINEL has engaging mechanics and satisfying gameplay that fans of challenging platformers appreciate, particularly praising the boss encounters and trick system. However, players consistently complain about poor controls that feel unresponsive for a game requiring precision, along with significant technical issues including long loading times and frequent hangs during transitions. Most players advise against purchasing given these control and performance problems outweigh the positive mechanical design.

Great game. I love the mechanics and the different tricks that you can pull off. It's like eating popcorn for the second time.

For a game this hard, where pixel perfect control would be absolute key, the controls are ridiculously bad. I was lured here by the misleading name. Uninstalled, not looking back. If this weren't free, I'd ask for a refund.

Not recommended - loading times are long between simple screen transitions and the game often hangs during them.

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

Man that final boss was really fun to play against. I love hollow knight so this was a fun throwback!

Games like Slay the Spire that keep the branching climb

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

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.
