Heartbeat: Regret

Heartbeat: Regret

I would not recommend this game as a horror game. I feel like it has a lot of potential as a horror game but due to the frustration of movement. The game losses any sort of suspense and is replaced by frustration. Some people have mentioned that the lack of a tutorial was an added challenge; I didn’t find this to be true for myself. However I did find a lot of difficultly reading the text. As well as finding the tempo for the movement difficult especially at slower tempos.

The text being hard to read is not a huge problem as the text is read out loud and I got used to it over time. Though for people that are better at spelling than me I’m sure this is even less of an issue if it is an issue at all. Though for the issue of movement the tempo is very hard to find. I died severely times just trying to move around the areas and spent a bunch of time sitting in one spot just waiting for the heartbeat to go down. This made it very frustrating when most of my time is either spent sitting around waiting to be able to move without dying or trying to get back to a point that was right before I got killed just to march into death again. For as long as it takes to move around the areas you just lose anything that makes it scary. Honestly the most scary thing about it was how I was about to pick up my keyboard and chuck it across the room in frustration.

An extremely unique idea! Never thought I would have typing horror and rythm in the same game! I love it! A little bit of trouble with instructions and knowing what to a couple times, but the incredible sound design makes up for it. I’ll be playing this for a while I can already tell

Pretty scary and fun little game! I like how the monsters look and the sounds they make! I also like the idea of this game. I do wish there was a checkpoint system after every door so players don’t get frustrated after almost beating it and having to restart. Also when you get chased by a monster, after a while the sound cuts off so you don’t know if they stopped following you or not. Other than that I think this game is really good for what you pay and all the scares it brought with it. Thank you

I love this! The rhythm/music aspect of this game, made it super fun to play, as was the story shared in the chat between the characters, which gave a lot of personality and dimension to a 2d pixel art stick figure and made me want to know more about the person and adventures of Agent Klutz. It has also quite a bit of humor which made everything even more fun.

Yes/no is pretty harsh for this game, but the game has downsides. Ultimately, I can’t recommend it, but it isn’t a bad game.

Reasons:

1. It’s only one song. For the whole game. It works, because it’s spy music (the music in the trailer), and the game is under two hours to beat. Probably under 1 hour except I wanted to get 100% everything.

2. The controls are a little clunky. Every level, you can move on the first “beat” of the game, but not the second, then play actually flows on the third. Additionally, using the same button to aim, shoot, collect, move, turn, and enter can be frustrating — it’s all the LMB and where it’s placed can use the wrong command, causing a fall.

Oh man. I am SO glad I found this game. I was thinking, “Man. I’d really love a rhythm music game that was challenging.” Not that others are not, but I work as a musician so most of them are fun challenges for me but not necessarily challenging challenges.

THIS WAS EVERYTHING I WANTED! I’m a pianist so I love to two side difficulty. I love that it was use a mouse and keyboard instead of just keys “a/d” and arrows for two different movements difficulty. I thoroughly enjoyed the music. I loved that it wasn’t just move on beat, I actually had to do quite a bit of subdividing which is a great difficulty, but it wasn’t so hard that someone with little or no musical experience wouldn’t be able to find the rhythms. Well balanced.

Very fun game, start a little slow, good for kids and training ;) but after some levels the fun starts, I liked the shape that make you turn and move your arm and body. I suggest to developer to include new peaces formats for the next levels and custom songs, but it’s nice I recommend it

Sekiro™: Shadows Die Twice - GOTY Edition

My proudest gaming achievement.

Sekiro is a rock hard, unforgiving, thrilling, beautiful, roller coaster of a ride. Any Souls game experience you have will actually work against you in Sekiro for the most part. It takes the From Software formula in a completely new direction that was initially frustrating for me but ended up be incredibly fulfilling.

My initial playthrough was going along great until I ran into Shinobi Hunter Enshin of Misen. That guy was the biggest brick wall of any From Software game for me. I actually gave up for awhile but eventually it clicked. I Got Gud as they say.
