Hello everyone and welcome to a pros and
0:03
cons of the video game Lunar Axe on not
0:06
now mom I'm gaming. These are short
0:09
videos featuring gameplay clips or
0:11
screenshots so as not to show too much
0:13
in the spoiler department. Links to this
0:15
review are in the description below. Let
0:20
Pros puzzles provide a challenge. I'm
0:24
happy that there's a variety of them and
0:26
they aren't all simplistic, but they
0:28
really do have either a learning curve
0:30
or even an overly complicated way being
0:33
solved. The bull puzzle in particular I
0:36
hated doing because I just couldn't
0:37
figure out how I was supposed to do it
0:38
correctly. Clearly, I got past it, but
0:42
man, was I wishing for a skip button. I
0:44
don't normally wish for one of those on
0:46
these kinds of games. But if you get
0:48
enjoyment from puzzle games that
0:50
actually have a difficulty spike to them
0:52
and you also like point and clicks, then
0:54
this game might be right up your alley.

I appreciate that they hand drew
1:01
everything. And I don't mean in pixel
1:02
art either. They just fullon drew
1:05
everything with sketchy detail to them
1:07
and color. And while this doesn't
1:08
technically work that well in hidden
1:10
object scenes due to the difficulty of
1:12
finding a certain item drawn by hand,
1:15
it's an amazing overall piece of work. I
1:17
don't think I've yet to play a Hog where
1:19
everything was drawn by hand, but
1:21
there's a lot of them I haven't yet
1:23
played. Most of them stick to their
1:25
typical style of realism.
1:28
Cons: No skips on puzzles. Some of those
1:32
puzzles were just hard to do. Not in the
1:35
there's no way I can manage this because
1:37
I don't know how to do it, but just
1:39
knowing that it's going to take you a
1:40
while to figure out how to get to the
1:42
end result. I know people enjoy puzzles,
1:44
but sometimes when they're too taxing, a
1:49
Hidden object scenes are difficult. I
1:52
played a lot of hogs in my time as a
1:54
gamer, and I've come across some
1:55
difficult scenes, but they were usually
1:57
difficult because the name of the item
1:59
they wanted me to find was stupid
2:01
compared to the object, or it was just
2:03
that well hidden. This game's hog scenes
2:06
are difficult because it's all
2:07
handdrawn, and things are a bit
2:10
different when someone draws them by
2:11
hand. They don't always look the way
2:13
they should, at least to me. And that
2:16
was kind of my problem with some of the
2:17
scenes. There aren't a lot of them. The
2:20
sole focus isn't on the scenes because
2:22
you can find a lot of stuff outside in
2:24
different areas or puzzles. But when
2:26
they do show up, expect maybe a slight
2:31
And that's the end of a pros and cons
2:35
Thanks for watching everyone, and don't
2:36
get in too much trouble when you say,
2:38
"Not now, Mom. I'm gaming.
