The game itself is in my opinion below average. - Gameplay In terms of movement, the gameplay is very uncomfortable. The controls feel slippery and inconsistent, and also quite unoriginal. The platforming sections (void levels) are ok, with the exception that some of their designs are downright bad, and the fact that whenever you take damage you return to the beginning. A similar problem occurs in normal gameplay with checkpoints, which are spaced really badly throughout the world. Bad game design is generally a recurring issue in the game- the bosses are pretty bad, some enemies are designed horribly in the sense that they are just there to annoy you and take away from the game, most of the areas are extremely repetitive etc. Tl;dr- gameplay is mediocre at most, and the game is badly designed. -Plot It's really bad lol. The game basically tries to be Hollow Knight and Zelda at the same time, and this resulted in having a really bad, uninteresting, kind of funny (because of how bad it is) story. At first it seems like the game is a dungeon-based zelda-like game, with a pretty boring plot to drive it. Then the game pulls a 180 and tries to pull a Hollow Knight and have the player defeat 3 bosses in order to stop the bad stuff in the world (which is an obvious Calamity Gannon malice ripoff), and the reason for this doesn't even make sense. The main character doesn't have a motivation to do what he does, other characters who seem more capable than him are purely useless and are a bad excuse to give irrelevant and boring plot details. The name of the game- Blue Fire (which is a thing in the game) isn't even relevant to the main plot, and sometimes I wasn't even sure what the main plot was. In general- average at most gameplay and game design, bad , weird, and boring plot. Go play Hollow Knight or Zelda instead lmao.
