It was a damn fine game, great mix of combat, puzzles, and platforming, satisfying progression, ingenious burrow mechanic, great music, dense and intricate world full of secrets and shortcuts but without excess wasted space or backtracking like so many modern games, and tons of challenge and replayability. Solid 8.5/10, enjoyed it more than Silksong and significantly more than Shovel Knight.
It's kino, it's like Zelda 2 but actually good.
Has boatloads of replayability too. I'm working ym way up to NG+6 just to experience the full randomizer.
How does it compare to Shovel Knight
>>740300785retard
>>740301549Basically has the same design philosophies as Shovel Knight, but now it's a top-down open world with a bunch of zelda-like secrets. If you plan to play it, let go of the assumption that there's depth beyond enemies being airborne. Enemy hitboxes are their entire sprite, so you need to play defensively.
>>740301662Explain yourself retard
>>740300691why is everyone comparing it to silksong and shovel knightsilksong is a metroidvania, mina is notshovel knight is a platformer, mina is notthe only similarities are with shovel knight only cause of the visuals that mimic old hardware limitations, but beside that there's nothing even remotely similar
>>740301990>silksongRed+White character design, dev time taking forever, and generally being criticised for its difficulty>Shovel Knightliterally the same devs
>>740302297>Red+White character designliterally irrelevant, if that mattered then why not compare it to neva as well, just to make an example>dev time taking foreversame logic as before, then lets compare it with CP2077 as wellnot to mention, it was announced in 2022, 4 years is not "taking forever", and it was delayed just once>and generally being criticised for its difficultythen we should compare it to Dark Souls too?all of these reasons make no sense>literally the same devsyet another irrelevant point, you dont go and compare Witcher 3 with CP2077
>>740302962You asked why people are comparing them and you got an answer. Nobody's saying they're the same games, but circumstances have them related to each other in some way, it's not a hard concept to grasp.>you dont go and compare Witcher 3 with CP2077You do when talking about the dev's reputation and their game design style. Playing Mina I could tell it was the Shovel Knight devs from the writing, secret hinting, and having an irrelevant NPC doing a prolonged dance sequence with the MC.
>>740302962Silksong was the biggest indie of the last few years and Shovel Knight is YCG's other game. The fact that they (SK and MTH) aren't really comparable is kinda the point, even if you didn't like Shovel Knight, there is a very good chance you will like Mina as it's a much better game and plays totally different. Don't overthink it so much autismo
>>740303960with that logic, we could compare any game to any other, still doesnt make sense>>740304003still doesnt make sense, just cause they're both indie games and anticipated it doesnt mean they're comparable>Don't overthink it so much autismoto me it's plainly obvious these comparisons make no sense the moment i read them, there's no need to overthink anything
You know, the one thing this game is missing from the zelda games that inspired it is a long trading sequence. Unless I'm just missing something,
>>740304514You have to be baiting. By your own logic, nothing can be compared to anything because every little thing can be dismissed as irrelevant. You're being a sperg.
>>740300691Cool story shill, not buying it nor playing it.The only indie games worth playing are Katana ZERO, Hollow Knight and Hollow Knight: Silksong.Team Cherry is king of the indie scene.
>>740306227HOLY fucking poser faggot taste. Post clears>dood if I act like I love shitty hard action games, everyone will think I'm le ebic gaymerlmao faggot
>>740306968Which of those games are hard? Just because you suck at gaming, doesn't mean all of us do, lol.
>>740307369>they aren't le hard, I just haven't cleared them because uhhh....Post your clears then shitter
>>740300785Mina is nothing like Zelda 2... The PC port of Zelda 2 is Zelda 2 but good. Honorable mention goes to Phoenotopia
>>740307445Stop coping please. You just suck.
I looped around the eastern grassland, where do I go now?
>>740307551The crypt?
>>740307541>NG4 platinum on PS5 is 17% rarity (extremely high) and takes on average 25-50 hours (you took twice that long)>and that was the only clear you were not too embarrassed to post You are a poser faggot and a shitter
>>740309081You took the bait and exposed yourself for the envious shitter you are :) That screenshot isn't showing NG4 "platinum", the platinum can be obtained without unlocking any of the DLC achievments which were added at a later date with the DLC. You should have looked up the DLC achievements completion rate instead. If you actually played these games you would know. Play time doesn't matter, because actual gamers replay the games they like, unlike you.I'll make a screenshot of this exchange for future use ^_^Now seethe and cope, you envious shitter.
>>740304923>no long trading sequenceGood, those things were cancer.
>>740309827That's why I only said twice as long, if it was the base game only you would have taken over 3x as long. Notice how you only screenshot one game. Hurry, use SAM to unlock those achievements so you can screenshot the rest of the games! Just make sure you don't show the dates!
Mina the BLM supporter.
>>740310914>he still doesn't get itLMAO. You don't play these games.
>>74030069191 now tranny
>>740300691It was fun but a lot of the areas were really fucking annoying. Definitely didn't enjoy it as much as I did Silksong
>>740300691>the critics got it right.Shove your pixelshit faux nostalgia game up your ass retard. Indie games are shit.
>>740311858I mean I don't play NG4 because it's nu Platinumslop, but I have beat MNM in NG and NG2, DMD with S-ranks (not SS) and BP in DMC3 and DMC4, Furier in Furi with max ranks, 100%ed all the Soulsborne games, full S-ranks in MGRR on Revengeance, Vanquish all Tac Challenges + Godhard, Cuphead all Expert S-ranks etc.I'm never going to sit there and suck a game off that I haven't even mastered. Blowing through an action game on normal with shit ranks and declaring it one of your favorites or a 10/10 is fucking pathetic
Mina, the BLM Queen and vanquisher of /vpol/
>>740312658What you failed to understand:1. The hardest achievement is in the DLC.2. Total playtime doesn't mean the achievements were unlocked at that exact total playtime value.Yet you doubled down on it, you have a low IQ.You also brought up Devil May Fart, now I understand, you are just another Devil May Fart subhuman who is made that I didn't include your garbage franchise in my list, lol.
>>740313482>mademad*
>>740313482Posting only your NG4 clear is basically indirectly admitting you are a shitter in all of those other games anyways. And no, 100% the DLC should not take longer than 25 hours, so your time is still inflated for someone who seemingly only plays CAGslop and nothing else. And nowhere did I say that I actually like DMC, only that I've cleared it on DMD with S-ranks/BP.
>>740314037I posted NG4 to trap and expose you, which I succeeded in. Why would I post my other games? They wouldn't have trapped and exposed you, only Ninja Gaiden 4 was capable of doing that.>And no, 100% the DLC should not take longer than 25 hours, so your time is still inflated for someone who seemingly only plays CAGslop and nothing else. Imagine being this retarded, still not getting it, after having it spelled out for you.
>>740314235>I exposed myself as a shitter as part of my trap>le 4D chess!!Man, you really are a retard
You can tell the game is mediocre because of the threads getting spammed shilling it. On /v/, any good game gets threads shitting on it instead.
There's no way this shit is better than Silksong. It's fine but the combat and boss design is dogshit and there are multiple baffling design decisions like giving you trinkets that let you basically float over everything.
>>740314890>like giving you trinkets that let you basically float over everything.make it more obvious you are not even more than 2 dungeons in
>>740315148I 100% the game
>>740300691Are you unable to buy an ad because you wasted money renting office space in California?
>>740315192no, you fucking didn't moron. There is nothing baffling about that at all.
>>740300921>having to beat the game four times to get randomization>six times to get full randomization>schizophrenic changes and un-changes across different playthroughsThat's abysmal. Why is not just enable these as options after beating it? Why is it so desperate to be Dark Souls with multiple tiers of NG+?
>>740300691your score doesn't even match your description
>>740316132Are you one of those retards that only uses 70-100 on the scale?
>>740315970Yes I did. The design is shit. I skipped the whole swamp area on accident.
>most shilled game of all time>can't even crack 15,000 simultaneous playersNot looking good tranny bros.
>>740317349Please, lots of games were shilled harder than this. Mixtape is the most recent one.It is being shilled fairly hard though yeh
>>740315997I think they all are options, most of them are available without beating the game. , the only difference is playing through the ng+cycle is a number on the save file.
>>740317949>I think they all are optionsThat's not how you made it sound but that's cool I guessStill dumb, but better than how it sounded initially
>>740314548>the low IQ subhuman still doesn't get itLMAO
>>740317102>I am a retard so the design is shitlmao
