Cretinously credulous
I really want to like it. I like the setting, the aesthetics very much. I also like the verticality aspect. But by God, this game is frustrating.
The controls and camera are pretty bad, and the bad AI (even if intentional as Trico is an animal after all) just adds to it. Sometimes I keep giving commands and wait (and hope) that Trico will do what I want it to do. At one time it kept going to the wrong place for almost 10 minutes. I wanted to smash the controller in the wall.
Then there is the camera. It in itself is pretty bad, but add the abhorrent frame rate (and I am the kinda guy who rarely feels bad frame rate as long as camera and controls are fine) and weird ass smoothing of camera movement and it's just a clusterfuck.
Oh and the controls. I just do not feel that the kid is going where I am trying to take it, especially when on Trico. I am trying to take him to Trico's tail, but he will rather enter his ass. I will be trying to make him hang on a ledge, but he will rather do that 'omg I am about to fall over the cliff hang on balance' animation. I will try to make him walk towards a certain place, but he will rather do that weird 'looks like running but jumping at the same place' animation. Oh and when the guards catch him and we finally get him free (by mashing random buttons lol), he will stand up and then fall again once, always, making the guard almost catch him again. It's annoying.
I am at a puzzle where I have to throw a barrel across several gaps (and quickly otherwise it rolls off and I have to start over again) and the game is really testing my limits. I don't remember when I cursed last time on a game.
