Toy Odyssey: The Lost and Found

Roguelite platformer, full of flavor and creativity.. I'm enjoying it a lot! Creative, charming theme and plot about keeping the house from succumbing to all the forgotten, unloved toys. Great balance between randomization and continuity. It's not like a complete randomization every night even if you die and the house gets reset, there are multiple threads of overarching progress. Long, sleek learning curve. The...

At first your lack of health and damage dealing is annoying because you die so quick. After a while this gets better with upgrades, but then grinding kicks in. And it's apparent you need to grinda lot. The game is procedurally generated and so it resets if you die. That's fine. It however also resets if you manually quit out of the game, so all progress around the map is lost. That means you have to play for long...

It was hard for me to consider whether to recommend the game or not. I decided to recommend, but if you are interested in the game, read until the end before deciding to buy. This is a metroidvania-like game with a different concept from what I've seen so far. While the idea and the game itself seems well done, it's filled with bugs and poor design choices. Frankly, I only recommend it for metroidvania platformer...

I liked this game a lot more than I thought I would. The gameplay itself is far more appealing than it would first seem. Once you get the double jump, things are a lot better, though combat remains a bit annoying most of the time. It does have a bit of a "hook" to it and a few redeeming qualities, such as being able to upgrade your armor with scrap you find, and the art style of the enemies and backgrounds were...

I really wanted to like this game, it has a lot of potential - I can see the concept that was envisioned somewhere underneath the unfortunately messy experience this has otherwise turned out to be. For what it is, it's a fun little metroidvania-style game about exploring a randomized house layout, finding blueprints for new gear, crafting your base and leveling up your character by investing "bolts (the ingame...

In my first 30 minutes I died about 7 or so times mainly from fall damage. You know what is great in platforming games? Fall damage. Especially at short heights. Remember when playing Super Mario and you would die every time you fell three inches? No? Oh yeah, that's because FALL DAMAGE IN A 2D PLATFORMING GAME ESPECIALLY A METROIDVANIA IS THE STUPIDEST THING YOU CAN ADD. And I'm completely serious when I say that I...
