Carrion reviews and comments
I really enjoyed this game and it's role reversal. There are very few games that put you in the role of the villain and even ones that do usually have you switching back to good by the end. The metroidvainia aspect of this game works very well and you really feel like you are an evolving monster.
«Can’t stop playing»
«Underrated»
I only played for maybe 40 minutes but it wasn’t doing anything for me. The idea of playing as the monster is cool but the puzzles weren’t fun, the combat wasn’t fun, and worst of all I just kept getting lost. It Wasn’t worth my time.
Final Score: B-
Final Score: B-
A good game overall. It's not the best indie game you gonna play, but I recommend it, the storyline is interesting and the gameplay itself is innovative.
«Liked before it became a hit»
«Sit back and relax»
Short and sweet. Some downsides stand out - the human controls (especially on ladders) aren't the best, the flashback sequences didn't add anything for me, some of the later robot fight sequences feel a bit out of place, the sequences where you need to downsize are obvious by nature of leaving behind places to do so - but it's a really inventive spin on Metroidvania formula and the style really does carry the game. I've heard complaints about the lack of a minimap, but between the way your traversal paints the environment with blood and general destruction and how well designed the backtracking is designed, it was never an issue for me, and IMO that's how it should be in this type of game.
Awesome concept for a Metroidvania. "Carrion" had a great length, upgrade path, and ramping challenge. Main issue is the map and where to go wasn't very clear and I got lost a bunch.
«That ending!»
Decent little platformer. More of an exploration game than anything else. Movement looks really cool and, hilariously, controlling the humans is terrible. Suffers from not having a map of some sort, getting lost and back-tracking is not fun at all.
Date Completed: 2020-07-28
Playtime: 5h
Enjoyment: 7/10
Recommendation: It doesn't outstay its welcome, thankfully. How much do you like the genre? Give it a go, or not.
