Comment on Playing Games: General Thoughts

Even though its spectacle isn’t unique anymore, slow-mo on the prince’s stunts still wins me over. It frankly is very cool that he can flip over guys’ heads and run along walls and more games should revel in their own coolness even when it’s not new. I run along walls in new games and the camera doesn’t zoom out to show me how dangerous it would be if I somehow fell and they make me feel nothing.
Also, Warrior Within’s chase music rules and anybody who thinks it doesn’t belong in the game just hates fun.

It still feels so cinematic too! The camera angles for free running, the level design, the slo-mo put your weapons away after a fight, and the character arcs.
lol, the musical tonal shift in Warrior Within is wild from the first one. The first time Dhaka showed up and started chasing me though the jam hit and it was great.
