    I LOVE the scale of this game, of course, but I especially loved the part where the android was like, "And then I walked through this pipe for FIVE YEARS." Made me lol, but also added to the size of the megastructure.
    Also, fun fact, I died 2,550 times in my first play through :) So even people who are bad at games can enjoy Lorn's Lure! I highly recommend it.

    The inherent contradiction of speedrunning is that it requires people to spend as much time in the game as possible in order to spend as little time in the game as possible

    • @UnaturalShadows
      @UnaturalShadows Месяц назад

      its not really a contradiction, its the joy of it. people speedrun games because they love them enough to want to play them more even though there isnt any more intended content

    As someone who also practices parkour, these type of games convey the feeling of doing parkour much better than other more, let's say, spectacle focused games.

    "...you get somewhere it feels the developer didn't want you to go. (but it's a trick that Rubeki played, he wants you to go there.)"
    That seems like a characteristic of the "BLAME-like" game genre. If you've played one, you'll remember that little staircase that becomes more and more precarious eventually reaching moving platforms and jumps that appear impossible. Nnaissance is the example that immediately comes to my mind. I loved that game, but only after I realized this feeling was meaningless. Of course the game is designed for you.

  • @miradrgn
    @miradrgn Месяц назад +20

    first impression is that this looks like an extremely Jacob-Geller-Core game, with the impossibly vast architecture that feels wholly indifferent to your presence
    also making a game with the specific intent of wanting to watch people speedrun it is honestly a huge-brain play

    4:19 Back in Metroid Prime 2 I would jump into every abyss in the game because it was such a novelty to be able to break through the guard rails that existed everywhere that wasn't leading back to flat ground in MP1...and them again 5 more times each after getting Screw Attack to see more of the background and to see how far I could get using Screw Attack.

    I used to love going out of bounds in various areas in WoW back in the day, and I've always said I wanted a game that is designed to make you feel like you're exploiting it in that sort of way. This was definitely the closest thing I've played to that, especially the later levels, and it's so cool that the dev specifically mentioned boundary breaking/exploiting as an inspiration. We need more stuff like this!

  • @peanutismint

    This seems like the opposite of Dusk, a game I loved due to how gross and claustrophobic it made me feel, forcing me to traverse tiny narrow underground shafts. Agoraphobia/megalophobia could be my next fears conquered by gaming.
