Aragami - what do you think?


Well, I got it, I heard a lot of weird stuff about it - how it does stealth wrong, because it's too easy to kill and you can't just parkour all over the place, how it is unfair, because the enemies have better offensive capabilities than you, how it need guns, etc.
I'll say this:
It's beautiful, even if it's not cutting edge rendering techniques...
It's solid control wise - responsive and on PC really comfortable for control...
It's giving you enough feedback to let you know how much you f-ed up, how you f-ed up, what exactly are you f-ing up and what have you f-ed up, that led you to this situation.
It's well optimized. Runs just fine on my 270X / 760K combo.
Storyline is weird, you can see the twist comming from a mile away, but it drives the game alright.
It slowly introduces new mechanics, so you have time to get used to the old ones, before you get a new one.
And my favorite thing - it gives you options to do whatever. Kill everyone, kill just the one guy, that blocks your path or find another path around and don't kill anyone. Up to you.
So far I love it...
If anyone have played it, what's your opinion about it?


PS: I'm a bit sick and my nose is not really working properly. That's why I sound weird in the video.

It's worth a torrent at least.

Well I would say it's worth money. It's a better game than a lot of AAA games, that run way worse and look way worse on a lot more powerful systems, not to mention glitches and bugs and stuff, that are not present here.
If you ask me - it's worth the money.

If you think this is better than an AAA game, then the games you are comparing it to, are not AAA titles...

Well, GTA4 was horrific PC port. I'm just going to briefly mention Arkham Knight, AC Unity and recently No Man's Sky.
There are a lot of really AAA games, that are badly optimized compared to Aragami. I am just going to say Dark Souls 1 - one of my top5 of all time.

Saw a review of the game by Idiotech. Looks really cool. On my wishlist now till I buy it a year or two from now.

I was just starting to think the game is getting a bit samey and at that point exactly they have shaken things up with new zone and enemies and gameplay...
I am in love... With the design of the game. Level design and everything...
Bravo guys...

So what is one thing you are liking in this game so far? What is your typical playstyle? Be a ghost or kill everything in sight without detection?

once i found out i can play ghost without killing anyone, i played without killing anyone. I had to kill some guys, that i couldn't properly jump around, but i am trying to play ghost without killing anyone. If possible.

There are many things. The level design is great. Multiple paths to the target is always nice to have.
The visuals are great. I just love the art stile.
I like the mechanics. I don't usually like stealth games. I like this one. Jumping in the shadows, staying away from light, having some demonic powers... Standard stealth gameplay with fresh coat of paint.

I expected more ... fantastical element... It turns out (SPOILER ALERT) the story is not exactly what i expected...
I expected more demonic stuff, kind of "you wronged me, i am gonna have my revenge", but it's more the girl's story and you are playing basically just a tool.
Still not sure where the entire story is going. Have like 3 different theories in my head currently.
