ItвЂ™s hard to be too critical of this, as it is still a game with an indie budget and one has to consider that when judging a gameвЂ™s graphics, but still вЂ“ unsettling. For starters, the character models are detailed and well-rendered, but they look a bit lifeless at times, especially during cutscenes and conversations. While not a mess, there are definitely things to be critical of. Though the story and gameplay are both sound, the presentation is where Oceanhorn 2 starts to show the most faults. The water effects are rather impressiveвЂ¦ as one would hope for a game with вЂњOceanвЂќ in its title. It gave me very Mortal Engines (the books, not the movie) vibe, through both that and its aesthetic, which I very much enjoyed. While I didnвЂ™t get through the whole game for reasons IвЂ™ll touch on later, the part that I did play seemed to be shaping up to say something about the dangers of hubris and authoritarian nationalism surprisingly complex themes. That said, the story of this one was fairly compelling. ThatвЂ™s fine, to be honest since itвЂ™s not really a game designed to be stealth-oriented in any way, but itвЂ™s still odd that they would make any attempt to include it at all.ДЄpparently, Oceanhorn 2 is a prequel to the original, but as I stated previously I remember very little about Monster of Uncharted Seas, so I canвЂ™t really speak to that. Another way to get bonus damage is to hit unaware enemies, but I found the stealth mechanics to be a bit lacking as I could very rarely manage to sneak up on anything.

Though sword combat is a bit on the basic side, there is one aspect to it I really liked, which is that pulling off a full three-hit combo triggered a critical hit, dealing extra damage to the enemy and, if possible, knocking it off-balance to allow for further bonus damage on the next hit after that. In true Zelda style, more and more of the world opens up as you get more of those items, thus incentivizing the player to constantly revisit older areas and see what new treasures they can uncover. The player has a sword, a shield, a gun that serves as either a basic ranged attack or various selectable elemental projectiles, and a number of other gadgets that can be used in both exploration and combat. The gameplay in Oceanhorn 2 is nothing terribly complex, but it works. The first game, Monster of Uncharted Seas, played from a top-down perspective, while the sequel вЂ“ subtitled Knights of the Lost Realm вЂ“ uses a behind-the-character third-person camera.

Still, here are the basics: Oceanhorn is a series of games that seek to emulate the Legend of Zelda series on an indie budget. I still have vague impressions of how it played, and I remember liking it well enough, but if you asked me to tell you any specifics about its story or level design I would not be able to. I played the first Oceanhorn game about four years ago, but I donвЂ™t remember it super well. ***Oceanhorn takes advantage of the latest in graphics technology and delivers the best and most enjoyable experience only on the recommended devices.Oceanhorn 2: Knights of the Lost Realm Cornfox & Bros.
