Richard Bailey Jr. of The Koalition writes: Growing up as a kid, I have always been fascinated by beautifully drawn 2D animated movies with captivating storylines and memorable musical scores. This was one of many reasons why I wanted to check out Summerfall Studios’ debut title Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical. While I’m not the biggest fan of musicals, the creative minds behind this project piqued my interest enough to give it a shot.
The latest EDGE review scores for August 2023 include Exoprimal, Pikmin 4, and more.
Surprised at the relatively high Exoprimal score tbh. It doesn't feel altogether there.
Buddy of mine swears it gets better after 7-9hrs, give or take (he’s at 12hrs). I just can’t do that. But I’ll check it out next time I go to his place.
Sure. I joined a buddy's lobby recently and had some mindless fun with it. Even then, you can implicitly *feel* how it's not quite there with audio/visual feedback and polish. Plus, I'd be worse off by myself b/c you literally have to *grind* to unlock its better game modes - something I was forewarned about in some reviews.
Indeed, the reviews corroborate the grind needed to get to the goods. I’ll just piggyback off buddy’s save when the time comes. See how it looks and handles, at least. Then I’ll check out Remnant etc. He also picked up Atlas Fallen.
I picked up Atlas Fallen on a whim. I genuinely hope it's not a regrettable impulse buy.
Stray Gods is a musical RPG where the player gets to choose the direction of songs in real time, set in a world where gods live among us.
With a star studded cast and unique musical premise does Stray Gods live up to player expectations?
A great game worth playing if you're a huge fan of choice-based narrative adventure games.
