I've been playing Volgarr the Viking and I'm just past the first boss. I didn't read reviews or anything and just went straight into it. But, afterwards I checked The Internet and the impressions are pretty much what I expected. It's too hard, artificial difficulty, games don't need to be challenging any more, etc. Although I don't think it was overwhelmingly negative.

 

I listened to Total Biscuit complaining about it in a video where it takes him 5 minutes to advance further than 2 screens without jumping into an enemy. Apparently the game needs more checkpoints but I think they're well spaced - any closer and the infinite lives on the main stages are going to promote a war of attrition. It isn't Super Meat Boy. Get good.

 

Honestly a lot of kickstarter projects I see feel like they're on a money bandwagon. I would love to see more genuinely niche games funded by niche audiences like this. Even if you hate it you have to respect that they have their target audience in mind and everyone else be damned - they don't need your money.

Guys, is Singularity any good? Despite the obvious appeal of the theme to me, I've never checked it out...

 

Worth playing. I'd say Wolf ended up being more interesting just due to the hub-ish world layout but it's solid. Stuff I didn't dig was all the periphery story stuff overloaded into the game. So many audio logs without really the level structure to let it breath. Infinite had the same problems. Found it distracting.
