No matter how qualified and how lucky you are, failure is inevitable. But what counts is what you do with failure. And as a shooter from the first person’s perspective Anger Positions, you can not only laugh, but you should laugh at your failures. Compared to many newfangled games, intentional friction in Anger It is refreshing, though a bit frustrating.
AngerThe extremely complex action developed by South African India Studio Free Lives and published by Devolver Digital, hit the Windows PC in July 2024. After a year on the platform, where he received a mixed party, he went to PlayStation 5 July 1.
Anger I immediately attracted me with the cartoon aesthetics and an exaggerated, bloody presentation, reminding me of mine without supervision on the Internet as a child. (The risk of showing my age, his character design reminded me of this unclear Nickelodeon show at the end of 2000, Mr. Meat.) Music and visualizations distinguish it from other games of this kind. AngerStylistic style is his strongest advantage. I regularly laughed at his stupidity; The game is complex, but also fun enough to stop me from realizing how much I was in it.
Anger It does not waste a moment to act – a mixture of digging, shooting, dying, dying and dying. The mind, the game loop is by no means convoluted, because the only required target is always the same: go to the end of the level. But even this task may seem insurmountable, how difficult the game plays to kill you. It makes sense when you take part in the context of the main character who is an insurmountable threat to society, and the more you play, the more you realize Anger It is a game designed around a deliberate failure.
The game does not allow you to focus on your failures for too long, because pressing the button immediately puts you at the top of the level. Each level has the target goals you can strive for, encouraging you to recreate them many times. Despite this, before you can think about achieving goals, such as completing the level in less than 45 seconds or without a hit, you must first master the completion of the level, learning to place the enemy and the level of the level, which in itself is a task. This basic philosophy is engaging and tempting, but unfortunately for me the process of repeating and skill progress was not satisfying, at least at the beginning.
In context, I’m not the best for first -person shooters, especially on the controller. Game Anger At the PS5 Dualsense controller, it was a nightmare, and none of the available availability options provided any relief. I was not able to find a good balance of sensitivity and assist AIM, which seemed appropriate. After I spent a lot of time, playing with the settings, I found something that was good enough, but I played all the time, I regretted that either time to kill was slower, or that the pistols seemed better to operate, or that fewer enemies were hidden around the corners and so on.
One death led to a dozen on the first handful of levels, but Anger He delighted me because of frustration. It is basic (and equally easily ignore) to find out a “problem with skills”, but when the game has enemies who kill synchronization with dancing with the invasion of games, well, you can’t stay furious for a long time. Anger Points and laughs at you every time you fail in a way that makes you want to jump to the level and go back to digging.
After six hours with AngerI left this, accepting that I just am not good at it. But that doesn’t mean I couldn’t have fun with it. AngerThe speed makes it the perfect game in which you can reject – the type of game that you can move to perfection or start it to kill some time.
On paper, Anger He is a stupid, amusing game about anger, respect and drug sneakers – but if he has one lesson to convey, he is to laugh a little more.
