Let's Play Project Black Sun: Part 1 - The Hazards of Jogging and Running

This is my first attempt at a Let's Play. This game is so incredibly bad that I felt it was my personal obligation to share it with the world.

In part one of this epic saga, a normal day of jogging and running becomes something far more sinister. Something filled with bats, awkward controls, and a possible case of giant crabs.

Whenever there's a bad review, there will always be those that disagree. There are actually people that think Daikatana is a good game.

For this game, it seems to all come down to what you think is proper "challenge." I appreciate legitimately difficult games. I do not, however, think that bad controls are a legitimate component of challenge. As I pointed out further on in this Let's Play, basic fundamentals such as multi-directional aiming and jump+shoot are not new. They're staples.

The game is amazing, don't listen to this moron. Trust me

@michaelodeon You are welcome to your (incorrect) opinion. Metroidvania exploration games have made a lot of progress over time, and this game is many steps back. The creator expresses a desire to make a throwback to the SNES era, but the gameplay is pre-SNES in every regard. It's possible to make a fusion of new world ingenuity with old world aesthetics, and Project Black Sun entirely misses every mark it tries to hit.

Typical "baw, I suck and what I have to do isn't blatantly obvious enough, so the game has to be bad" reviewer.

this game is exellent

I used to agree that this game was absolutely awful. Here's the thing: It's legitimately challenging. It's not poorly made, it's just an exercise in controller-snapping agony. But it's a serious challenge, and a ton of fun in my honest opinion.

Also, those silver coin things aren't useless: you use them to get the ultimate weapon powerup, the fully automatic, which lets you fire an entire magazine in quick succession.

this game has gamepad support just so you know, and once you get over the initial difficulty it's a brilliant game

The developer should indeed fix some problems like the controls etc.

and to think I was thinking of buying it. i downloaded the demo and the controls are completely retarded!
