I'm well familiar with Casper's games; I've 100%ed every single one of them, and I currently hold the speedrun world record on Tower of the Scorched Sea and third place on Cataractae's secret ending. Pent's Road Trip is something else though, and it's not helped by the art style making it basically impossible to guess where the hitbox is.

I did come back after complaining yesterday and almost 100%ed this one today, I just haven't managed to make it past the final challenge after the three secret stones yet. It is possible to learn the controls well enough to "git gud" at it, I just find it considerably less player-friendly than his other games and that makes it unfun for me to get to that point.

I respect Casper's work enough to want to give this one a fair shake but it's probably the only one of his games I will never want to replay again.

At least this is a fair review, whereas your previous post felt more like a rant, an understandable one, but a rant regardless ;-)

Fair enough, I was pretty frustrated at the time and was probably rantier than I should have been. In my defense the game seems designed to frustrate the player as part of the joke (one of the things I don't like about it) so I feel like that response is justified. But I should have been more measured in my critiques.

I will say it does seem like this game is getting universal support from everyone else, so I guess it's just me that it rubs the wrong way.

100% all of them? Even the nested secrets in Lost in Lampyrid Fog?

Unless he finally added additional wings to the secret bullet hell temple ending, yeah, I'm pretty sure I did everything in Lampyrid Fog.

Also since I posted that comment I also finished 100%ing this game too. The "ultimate secret" was...pretty much what I expected, given the rest of the game, tbh.

Which bullet hell temple ending tho
