Follow_Freeman's El Viento review

This is one of those games I definitely would've played in 1992. However, I don't think I'll bother these days. Even if it were a good title, I just don't have the patience for games with finite (or no) continues these days. Maybe modern platformers have spoiled me, but I tend to prefer ones that are tough as nails, but don't force you to restart just because you died too many times.

I wanted to try this one too; Zig loved it. But then, I think he loved anything Wolf Team put out, including Earnest Evans. :T

Anyway, nice review.

I'm glad you enjoyed the review! It's really too bad that archaic design held this stylish work back from being something I could enjoy; I think Earnest Evans was just kinda amateurish but this one seemed more... earnest. There are lots of things wrong with the industry today, but it's good that we can learn from our mistakes.

I really wanna play Arcus 1-2-3, though. That seems like a good opportunity for Wolf Team to exercise their strongest qualities in a field that might lend itself nicely to their strengths if they keep the game from being grind-y. Zig's review of Arcus 1-2-3 was actually what introduced me to this site since nowhere else were there any reviews to be found; he also introduced me to one of my favorite RPG series, which I'll talk a bit about in the near future...

So Zig was the gateway drug! Not surprising.

Should we expect a review of Anett Futatabi?

Yeah, great stuff, like most of the writers here; makes me think even when I disagree.

I dunno, I haven't tried it yet; I was hoping for a more positive experience going in here, but it didn't work out as hoped. Wolf Team does have some fascinating games, but most of the other English-friendly ones are FMV or not really ideal for a full review. Plus, while I like to help rpovide a variety of opinions to compare and contrast, I really don't want to bash any company in particular, especially some spirited small-scale groups like Wolf Team. I heard from Zig that some there's some overlap between them and the Ranger-X devs, so maybe I'll go for that sometime. I've something more ambitious to get out of the way, first.
