Laraan Review
Not Recommended
- Game does not capture mouse
- Insanely low mouse sensitivity
- No configuration of controls
- When walking to the left or right you characters animation is to the left or right, but your position in the world changes diagonally
- Strangely scratchy music
- Grey on grey moving obstacles with no dynamic lighting are a nightmare
- Bad hit detection
- Bad edge detection (character stops before falling, when he's not even on edges)
- Camera rotation very restrictive (you can't look around, like up and down to enjoy the scene or look for stuff)
- Geometry you can jump onto but fall through
- Labyrinth with dead ends and notoriously slow death as a level
- Extremely hard to figure out distance (I didn't even notice I was on a moving platform once)
- Unclear/non-existant differentiation between holes that kill you and holes that you're supposed to jump into, platforms and moving platforms, more or less bounce energy fields etc
Were it not for the technical issues and atrocious controls this could be something. Too bad there does not seem to be any support or plans to fix these issues.
I battled my frustration and played through it. I’m glad it’s over.
