transience 12/29/19 11:52:06 PM #436:	36. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8dGyXzqtCo 2018 Switch, PC, PS4 This game just flows. All told, The Messengers gameplay is pretty straightforward 2d action stuff, swinging a sword, throwing a dart and dodging a lot of enemy attacks. But in motion, it becomes a lot more. The Messengers big mechanic, the Cloudstep, gives you an additional jump when you hit an enemy or a candle. The result is you just effortlessly flying through the level without touching the ground. Its so much fun. This games movement is super tight and the level design encourages you to get really good at it. Theres a flow to Messenger that really elevates it over its base mechanics taken separately, and like most games that I adore, the game has a high enough difficulty to force you to get good at that stuff. That challenge level makes it feel really good. The game also completely changes on you at least twice as you move from 8 bit to 16 bit and, later, from a level based sidescroller to a true metroidvania. That stuff is awesome, but really, the games flow and level design soar regardless of the genre changes. Oh, and the musics pretty great, too, especially with two different versions of each track, an 8 bit and 16 bit version. --- xyzzy <cite>transience posted [p:932222673] in transience...
