What (Non-PS4) game are you playing?? - Retro & Other Gaming Forum - Page 99

@nessisonett Only major complaint so far is that the final boss is… like… nothing. Total anti-climax.

Oh, and Cold Hard Crash can eat me. The all-boxes gem in that level is the only one I have left, and it's massively harder than any other challenge in the game. It's silly how much harder it is. I went and grinded lives on the bee level, and I'm just gonna muscle my way through it, but god, it sucks!

But yeah, overall, probably an 8 out of 10 game for me at minimum. I still like the Spyro trilogy more, but this is a really solid platformer.

I didn't like Warped when I played it on PS1 a few years back. We'll see if my feelings have changed at all.

@Ralizah Bosses in 3D platformers often aren’t all that great. The Sonic Adventure 2 bosses are really hit and miss and that’s still probably my favourite non-Mario 3D platformer. Even Mario bosses aren’t great, although I’d say Galaxy’s were at least polished to the point of the 1 hit stars being obtainable.

@nessisonett I'd say Mario Odyssey has strong boss fights overall. Some really, really imaginative encounters in that game. And plenty of variety, even if you do end up fighting a LOT of those stupid rabbit people also.

Actually, Crash 2's other bosses are pretty good as well. Just challenging enough to be fun, but not misery-inducing. I just don't understand why the final boss is the world's most underwhelming jetpack chase lol. Although I suppose it beats the first game's Cortex fight making me want to hurl my Steam Deck out of a window.

Actually just completed the game (all gems/crystals, anyway; the speedruns aren't implemented properly). Kinda disappointed all you get is a 30 second video of you using a laser to shoot Cortex's space station out of orbit.

Still, though, the fact that I actively wanted to do everything is proof enough that this was a rather strong experience. I can see why it's widely regarded as the best of the original trilogy.
