The Prisoning: Fletcher's Quest

Pixel nudity who doesnt love it am I right folks

Croteam isn't the only development company that had a tonal shift between its games. [b]A Void Hope[/b] was a moody and atmospheric platformer, while [b]The Prisoning: Fletcher's Quest[/b] is a very goofy platformer. I think the humor is pretty decent, it did get some laughs out of me. A lot of self-aware, fourth wall or absurd humor, and I like that kind of stuff. There is some crude and sexual humor, you start with a butt-naked Fletcher complete with a tiny pixel pingas. Nothing too crazy, just goofy fun. What about the gameplay itself? Well... it's a simple platformer with some challenge. The game is advertised as "metroidvania-lite", and I think even that is generous. You get power-ups, but not much in terms of optional content or non-linearity, the optional content boils down to music track discs and optional rooms that have a hat that acts as a health pick-up. Personally, I think this is a linear platformer with a light exploration element. The platforming itself is pretty simple, and kinda challenging. You can shoot enemies and jump. One of the power-ups is a double jump, which aids the platforming greatly. Later on you also get a ground slide, similar to [b]Mega Man[/b] …

Awful and amateur. This was published by Acclaim?!

It's a nice challenging game with fun and interesting characters.

I kept on dying even on just the first few games ugh but I am determined to pass through them and it did. I love the concept of this guy exploring his mind. I'm a fan of self exploration and liberation.

I think this game was pretty fun, the platforming is decent and controls felt good, will have to play more for more accurate review, but these are my initial thoughts!
