The Last Case of Benedict Fox

The Last Case of Benedict Fox marries beautiful art and some excellent puzzles to a confounding narrative and sometimes frustrating mechanics. Had it been a pure adventure puzzle game it might have fared better. The game’s platforming and combat are unrefined elements in an otherwise intriguing conception.

The Last Case of Benedict Fox is an alright metroidvania mystery game, but can be incredibly frustrating at times and gets very repetitive. The game started off with an interesting story, but felt like it didn’t pay off in the end.

The Last Case of Benedict Fox could have been a great game if it was more understandable, straightforward, free-flowing, focused, polished – and less frustrating. As it stands, the main draw is the audiovisual style and the mysterious setting.

An honest game which does not think itself more beautiful than it really is, but which could undoubtedly have rubbed shoulders with the masters of the genre by deepening its best ideas a little more.

The Last Case of Benedict Fox is far from being a bearer of H.P. Lovecraft’s thematics in the gaming world: the cosmic horror of the Providence writer is replaced by a plot that at times manages to result engaging, but ultimately reveals to be anchored to more classical horror themes, linked to magic, to the occult, and to the creation of constructs that can be governed by man. Beyond these considerations, the video game produced by Plot Twist is released on the market in a technical state that is far from excellent, and with considerable limitations in terms of readability of progression in its exploratory stages, as well as with a system of enhancements that is anything but exciting. The Last Case of Benedict Fox remains a discreet metroidvania but is lost in the vast sea of productions – even with similar themes – much more refined and refined, proving to be an experience far from unforgettable.

Intriguing puzzles aside, this metroidvania is plagued with systems that seem designed to frustrate.

The Last Case of Benedict Fox is a macabre metroidvania that is inconsistent at all levels. The gameplay is rough and imprecise, while the voice acting is, depending on the character, a mix of both horrible and amazing. Overall, the game fails to establish a definitive tone or direction. I expected so much more, and I genuinely hope that at least the gameplay aspect of the game will be fixed and improved in the future.

I like the story and the puzzle makes it challenging. the graphics are good for the cartoony look that it was going for and the monsters in the game have a creepy feel even though it very cartoony

HISTORIA (7/10) La historia te hace querer continuar la aventura, pero a veces se hace un poco desorganizada al tratarse de un juego metroidvania. Busca tratar temas profundos, pero no logra desarrollarlos por completo, debido a la poca información que nos otorga, la mayoría en base a los objetos que obtenemos y cortos diálogos. Es importante también la mala traducción al español en general del juego, hasta en el caso de un puzle que te hace resolverlo justo al contrario. EXPLORACIÓN (10/10) En cuanto a la exploración, cumple todo lo que se espera de un juego metroidvania, con un mapa complejo y de gran tamaño, que debe ser explorado con esmero y con poca guía por parte del juego. Además, presenta puzles y mecánicas de progreso en la exploración muy originales. COMBATE (5/10) Presenta muchas mecánicas, pero quedaran en su mayoría olvidadas a los 5 minutos de su presentación. Resulta algo pesado, además de que los enemigos se quedan encajados con elementos del entorno en numerosas ocasiones. RENDIMIENTO (5/10) Durante el transcurso del juego, me he encontrado con diversos bugs, varios de los cuales han terminado con el reinicio del juego, así como caídas de fps y malos cargados gráficos. A pesar de que no han frustrado demasiado mi experiencia, necesita algunos retoques, al menos en pc. DISEÑO (9/10) La estética del juego es muy atrayente, así como los diseños de los menús y las cinemáticas. CONCLUSIÓN Recomiendo dar una oportunidad a este juego, especialmente si eres fan del género. Aunque no se trata de un juego perfecto, tiene algunos detalles que lo hacen único, además de una duración bastante buena (entorno a las 10h), que terminan por eclipsar la frustración por ciertos errores que encontramos.

Puede que sea un buen juego, la estetica, la ambientación y aspectos generales lucen con un enorme potencial. Sin embargo, la optimizacion es un desastre al punto en que no llega ni a los 20fps, cosa que para el tipo de juego del que estamos hablando no tiene sentido lo vea por donde lo vea.

=========== even free not worth it or try it watch it on utube better. =========== -even after last update gliches, shutters, frame drops, bad ai, not good sound effect, bad bosses, bad puzzles, bad level design and bad missions. -only good graphic, voice acting and they fixed combat last update.
