Slant community chat on DiscourseCon Most of the time is spent waiting and not on puzzles
The game revolves around deliveries that take time to arrive to your fireplace. There are time constraints on these deliveries that force the player to wait, unless you purchase postage stamps by unlocking combo's. As such, most of the time played in the game will be in a more 'idle' s...
Con No puzzle diversity or large number of mechanics added
The gameplay mechanics in Little Inferno stay the same: you use the fireplace in order to burn materials and create combo's. Even when unlocking newer catalogs with new materials to burn, not much changes in terms of gameplay. The puzzle hints that are provided also are quite similar, which can
Pro Wordplay-based puzzles add intrigue
Certain items may have odd properties or work together with other items to create unexpected results. A list of combinations, where the only hint is the name of the combination, gives the game another puzzle-like layer that you are required to solve to progress further. For example, a somewhat vag...
Pro Exceptional narration
Excellently crafted, hilarious writing delivered by a well spoken, charismatic British narrator. Kevan Brighting has become somewhat of a cult success since the game due to its cult like status which just shows how deserving he is due to how well done the narration of the game is done.
Pro The game has a lot of different endings to find
There are numerous ending to the game that appear to play out even when the player makes the same choices as their last playthrough.
Pro Insightful commentary on state of game design
The game tackles topics such as ludonarrative dissonance, choice in games, narrative limitations, etc while mostly focusing on the relationship between the game and the player in terms of storytelling in a very meaningful, educated and entertaining way.
Pro Among the greatest video game adaptations ever made
The art-style, the voice-acting, the animations, the jokes and the plot were as if it was an episode of South Park.
Pro Ability to walk around the town of South Park provides a sense of wonderment
Exploring the virtual town of South Park is frankly fantastic. Definitely a joy for fans of the series to be able to play around in something they have only been able to watch in the past.
Pro Frequently hilarious
The humor is what one would expect of South Park, constantly funny and plenty of inside jokes.
Pro Over the top
The game's artstyle, theme, narration, enemies and even weapon reload animations are satirical of over-the-top 80's style action movies. The game is named after T-Rex-looking dragons that emit neon light.
Pro Solid gameplay
The gameplay itself is of course drenched in an over-the-top 80's sauce, but underneath that lies the solid, trusted gameplay mechanics of Far Cry 3.
Pro Jokes
The game toys with the player throughout the game through ridiculous notification boxes, achievements, etcetera.
Pro Cheesy western-style storytelling and cartoon-like graphics
Call of Juarez: Gunslinger's narrative is told from the perspective of an outlaw. You relive the stories of his encounters with famous characters from the old west, such as Billy the Kid, Jesse James and Pat Garrett.
Pro Good level design
This game features linear gameplay, where the maps are designed very well for their purpose. This game has some great shootouts in places like mines, quarries, ranches, canyons and towns.
Pro Gameplay focused on marksmanship
Call of Juarez: Gunslinger features gameplay that's focused on shoot-outs with gangs of outlaws and townsfolk. There are different weapons that can be used, including dual pistols, shotguns and dynamite. Boss fights prove to be challenging and varied. Sometimes, the player character's riva...
Pro Fourth wall breaking
If anything defines Deadpool as a superhero, then it is the fact that he constantly breaks the fourth wall. In fact, his interactions with the player or the narrator can turn into a mechanic to advance in a level.
Pro Humoristic
Deadpool is a game that is full of funny moments. This ranges from edgy jokes that the main character tells to parodying AAA games by ridiculing their mechanics.
Pro Fast paced combat
Deadpool is a game with a proper combat system. This involves various satisfying sword skills, evasion skills as well as simply shooting guns. There is a progression system to improve weaponry and Deadpool's overall combat effectiveness.
