Just remembered this week’s Epic Games freebies 4 hours before they changed over…!!

Errr but after being so bored by the Rogue Legacy trailer I feel a bit deflated…

“A modern day Ghosts and Goblins!” OOOOH. Fuck me….a great game should not be “a modern day” ANYTHING. It should stand alone as a great and unique game in its own right.

Just from the jarring, in-your-face “oooh we’re gonna be really retro on this one!” twinky music in the first couple of seconds I knew I was going to be in for some try-hard guff made by 22 year old developers who simply can’t cope with the fact that they weren’t even born yet when games like this were the norm, so have to create games for those equally ill-equipped to cope with the fact that the clunky, blocky platform games ship sailed before they were even out of nappies.
