/vr/ - Retro Games

Honestly neither Spyro nor Mario 64 suffer because of this cause they're such a joy to control, and you get open, atmospheric spaces to play around with those controls. The things you do might be mundane but even moving around is fun, so who cares. And even then, there are challenging gauntlets in both games, it's not like it's all wandering around walking into things. Jak 1 and Ratchet 1 too, even if most of the fun in Ratchet comes from the awesome weapons. Banjo on the other hand has charm in spades but every move you do feels like shifting a gear, every interaction like pressing a button. It's weird, never liked them as much as other 3D platformers. Have to replay them, might click more with me.

>mentioning Maximo
Omega good taste, those games are not only awesome but underrated as fuck. I like Mario 64 cause of the control depth, but something like Maximo scratches my action game itch like no other 3D platformer, even if the mechanics aren't as deep. I still consider them the best 3D Castlevanias, since they're not really that much like a GnG.
