Comment on What is a game that you know is bad but really enjoy(ed)?
kender242@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoOni was fun, but did not age well. By the time I finished the game I had enough combat moves to make it feel interesting, then the game ended.

Absolutely! It’s a very flawed game and a pretty rough experience, even with the Anniversary Edition fixes and mods. I’m still not sure what makes me go back to it but for some reason I end up doing just that every few years. It’s one of a few titles I’d like to see in a remastered or (slightly) modernised form. Not that it’s going to happen but one can dream, right?

You know, now that I think of it, Mirrors Edge Catalyst kinda scratched that Oni itch a while back. Another underrated game that I thoroughly enjoyed.
Still waiting for Oni 2

Catalyst missed the mark for me. Between locking the moves behind skill tree, larger focus on combat and slightly reworked art style it just didn’t grab me the way the original did. It’s not all bad and I still want to play it to completion some day but it was kind of a disappointment nonetheless.
Best I can do is the leaked early build of the project attempted by Angel Studios. It’s rough, obviously unfinished and Konoko looks a bit different but it has a somewhat working combat system you can play with and a bunch of levels to run around in. It’s also prone to crashes but that’s to be expected.
