Review: Animal Gods (Steam)
A beautifully illustrated, 2D top-down game with a focus on zen-like journeying, light puzzling, precision-platforming, and fallen gods.
Pros:
- Artistic contemporary graphic style.
- Full controller support.
- Three control options: Keyboard only, Keyboard and mouse and controller. Zelda influenced game play, Explore dungeons and fight enemies whilst unlocking new weapons and items.
- Constant checkpoints.
- Find collectible lore.
- Save and quit option.
- Steam achievements.
- Play dungeons in any order.
- Simplistic controls.
- Chilled soundtrack.
- Timed platformer sections.
- Huge open world.
Cons:
- Xbox one controller has a few issues. Always walking to the left for example.
- Mouse pointer stays on screen when using the controller.
- Repetitive game play, Kill enemies, get new weapon, next dungeon use that weapon to kill enemies then unlock another weapon and so forth.
- One hit death.
- Death resets enemies.
- No tutorial.
- Short game lasting but a few hours.
- Mindless AI.
