Was up waaayyy too late last night playing #Exanima and only stopped because it crashed.

Say what you will about its early access state--I'd call it a super fun, super polished #verticalslice --but there's no denying the potential here: a compelling narrative with a dedication to innovative mechanics any #FromSoftware / #Soulslike lover ought to appreciate.

I get a weird-but-cool #Ultima8 energy from the presentation, and the #BushidoBlade combat vibes made me smile.

The learning curve almost killed it for me (I had to switch from controller to k&m) but then the mechanics clicked, and I was tearing shit up.

#Exanima is supposedly a prelude to a much bigger, much more ambitious project called #SuiGeneris, from #BareMettle. The former has been in development for years but still shows signs of life, though it might benefit from a more modern approach to community engagement.
