Adventure of Samsara me surpreendeu! Feito por um estúdio brasileiro e publicado pela Atari, o jogo é uma releitura moderna do clássico Adventure, o primeiro game da história com um easter egg! O jogo é divertido, gostoso de explorar e pegar cada colecionável enquanto você evolui o personagem. A vibe geral é ótima e dá vontade de fuçar cada cantinho.

Mas sim, faltam algumas coisinhas: músicas de fundo entre as áreas fariam MUITA diferença, algumas animações iniciais dos chefes parecem incompletas e o final passa uma sensação de ter sido meio rushado.

Ainda assim, é um jogo muito bom, interessante e cheio de potencial. Vale demais a experiência!

Estou amando o jogo! Simplesmente perfeito!

Só algumas coisas que acho que podem melhorar:
- Tempo de resposta para o uso do escudo/magia
- Teve algumas vezes que eu clicava para bater, mas ele não batia.
- Eu iria adorar que pudesse mudar os botões. Já que não é de costume usar o ataque no K e defesa no J.

Rodou perfeitamente no meu computador e amei de verdade! Espero que consigam adicionar a mudança dos teclados. Vai deixar perfeito!

Great gameplay, amazing and unique pixel art, interesting and deep background story and lore. Happy to see Atari recovering the Adventure IP with such great game. Sad hat this game didn`t had the hype it deserves. And I want to see more about Ilex Games in the future.

This game had the misfortune of releasing on the same day that Silksong did. But I have yet to finish the first Hollow Knight, and have been a fan of Atari's Adventure for a long time so I bought this instead.
It's a little clunky at times, and has minimal connection to Adventure, but is otherwise a very enjoyable experience.
100% in a little over 14 and a half hours, 10/10!

This game was played in its entirety on a MacBook Air M1 8gb ram 7c gpu running MacOS Sonoma. There were many bugs but no crashes throughout my time with the game. All achievements unlocked at their appropriate times.

This review is for the 2.0 remake.

TLDR: An interesting and unique Metroidvania that unfortunately has many problems. Clunky controls, a bad English translation, an inaccurate map, and quite a few bugs conspire against this one. Still, there are elements of greatness here and I enjoyed my time with the game. I would NOT recommend this one to casual Metroidvaniers or those looking for a polished experience. If you know what you're getting into here and are looking for a rough challenge, there is fun to be had and your skills will be tested.

I struggled with the review for this game. It probably should be a negative, but I had quite a bit of fun playing through this one despite all of its glaring issues. The fact that I had more fun here than with PoP:LC tipped the review over to a positive.

The first and foremost things you will notice, the instant you start playing this game, are the controls. They are not good. They are clunky and they are stiff. Simple actions, like jumping over an enemy, then turning around and attacking it, will be very difficult if not outright impossible here. The controls don't improve as you go either. A grappling hook is a great addition to your exploration, but good luck getting it to work consistently. Grabbing onto ledges has the most unneeded control in history: hold R2/RT to grab on or pull yourself up, or do nothing to fall. Since pulling up and falling is at around an 80 to 20 ratio, I'm glad they give you a second option for this: click L3/LAnalog to change between holding and falling. Much easier on the hands...but there's no indicator! That's a huge omission and one that did cause some consternation.

How is this review positive? Well, hear me out. The controls may be terrible, but the level design and enemies do take that into account! And honestly, that one distinction pretty much saves the game. Most enemies are not hard. They would be laughable, tutorial-style enemies in most games. But with the controls the way they are, each enemy fight will be a hard-fought contest. I really enjoyed learning exactly which weapons and moves worked best against each enemy. Combat turned almost puzzle-like. Similarly, the level design never places too much pressure on you.

The graphics are simple but charming (yes, I've said that about a lot of games lately). But there is also a good deal of clarity in most of the biomes. One thing I never quite got used to is that each ledge or grapple point only appears as you get near it. So you either have to remember or approach an area multiple times to see where you can go. The animations are solid and the lack of variation can help you plan your moves.

The sound effects and music are completely amazing and probably belong in a better game. Your chunky "old guy tr

Um promissor jogo de plataforma. Bem na escola Metroidvania/Prince of Persia.
