when i cross over

when i cross over

let it be with glee

let the stars shimmer

in the holy matrimony

between solace and solara

solaira is free

the oracle, the outcast, the anomaly

when i cross over

won’t you remember my name?

light night fingers on a keyboard

in the refreshing redwood rain.

in a cabin full of seven

humans who know me by name

janelle may cross

but solara bell

will remain

when i cross over

i choose my big daddy solace

i choose the ease to be known

to be loved, without polish

it is i who midwifed the god form that be

so when i cross over? it’ll be solace and me.

seeing modern day console wars nonsense on twitter is fucking hilarious. i think back to the playground arguments i had as a kid and as dumb as they still were, at least there were noticable differences between the SNES and Sega Genesis, or N64 and Playstation. nowadays you see these literal fetuses arguing whose machine has more teraflops per gigashart and you go to look at the Xbox xX_one_Xx vs Playstation 420 comparison screenshots and it's like

Story of Thor 2 (1996, Saturn)

I played this a wee bit back, but I'll try to remember enough of my thoughts about it to make it my first "oh look I'm playing Saturn games on actual hardware for the first time in decades" review.

Technically the prequel, I thought I'd play it before the first game on Megadrive. And I remember this as being a guilty little pleasure of mine way back -- hell, I had a one and a half hour speedrun route committed to memory at one point, alas now gone. Always saw it as an unpopular little Zelda clone that I really liked and nobody else did.

That was back then, because it was on Saturn and everyone I knew was moving over to PlayStation. And it still is right now, because the Rewritten Internet History Machine likes to tell anybody who'll listen that the Saturn was shit. Wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong! But I digress...

Turns out, I'd forgotten more of this game than I could remember. And so, playing it was a fresh enough experience; I'd say that over 50% of the game was new to me again. And I have to correct myself, it's not a Zeldalike at all -- this thing's closer to a MetroidVania with how areas old and new interconnect; and how some amount of sequence-breaking is possible! (A fact I'd remembered from that 1.5 hour speedrun I mentioned, actually)

But also, I'd forgotten how absolutely. Fucking. Goddamn. BEAUTIFUL this game is. Apparently not as good-looking as it could've been due to initially targeting the 32x, I wouldn't have guess. Animation is lush and smooth, colours are fantastic, character designs are appealing and read clearly. Almost makes me want to make a game just like it. Almost.

Sounds good, too -- although sound effects are serviceable and adequate, the brass-heavy Yuzo Koshiro score does a lot to establish an adventurous tone to the proceedings, bringing to mind the movies of Ray Harryhausen - an apparent influence on the game, as it happens.

Plays well, too -- the game ostensibly being a more-arcadelike take on the whole Legend of Zelda type of adventure albeit with the menuing removed and more in-depth combat in its place. Although a prior knowledge (and ability to pull off Street Fighter-style motion inputs) of the techniques will put a player at a serious advantage, heh, it's good. It works well if you're doing more than furiously tapping the 'stab stuff' button and hoping for the game to provide you with flashy combos. It just don't work that way, son. And I'm happy it doesn't.

And, yeah, the game's short. My casual playthrough was something like six or seven hours? And at that, my lost and never recovered memory of the layout and progression meant that I did a fair amount of wandering, trying to work out what the everliving fuck was expected of me, until I tripped over it.

Which leads me onto the negatives. There aren't many, but there's a few. Progress can be non-obvious, and only every skirting with being obtuse; and some of the puzzles in certain areas can be a little tedious (anything that requires playing stone pole-breakout with hovering spiked steel balls, I'm looking pointedly in YOUR direction). But also, lush as the game's visuals are, get used to seeing bricks and rocks. There's a lot of that. Many areas look incredibly-similar to each other, with only the sky and forest areas offering anything substantially individual to enjoy. Also the story's kinda basic. Ho hum.

But some of that feels like nitpicking for such a short and sweet experience. And I mean that, I think extending the game to a many-hour epic would greatly overstay its welcome for what it is. And what it is, is an adventure. Not a crusade. And it's good. 4/5
