    Much like its hero, then, Bloodroots is perhaps a touch bloated in the middle - but the gore-soaked trail it'll trace in your mind will leave a lasting mark. [Issue#343, p.110]

    Bloodroots is a good game with different finishes and links in the use of items, but it clearly lacks development, and the bright mechanics and blood are too quickly exhausted. And unlike My Friend Pedro or Hotline Miami, there is no feeling of excitement and pleasure from the just-tested combat combination. This is probably the main reason for frustration.

    Before you saddle up to take on Bloodroots, you need to ask yourself one question. Do you like pain? The pain of being killed constantly while trying to time a perfect combo. The pain of having finally killed all the baddies, only to plummet to your doom because of a misplaced jump. The pain of being hit once and having to start that section of the level over again. Over and over.

It's as if someone took a mobile game,A flawed take on Hotline Miami that suffers from inconsistent level design and shallow gameplay. It's as if someone took a mobile game, stripped it of its microtransactions, and forgot to replace the lost game mechanics. The resulting soup is pretty darn thin.… Full Review »

    I have played 8 hours, time that it has taken me to pass the game.

    It is a good game, but it lacks development, there is no sense of excitement and pleasure.
    It lacks a story that can hook you and the mechanics become repetitive and sometimes frustrating, boring shortly after playing it.
    It is a good game to play occasionally since in no time it finishes hooking.
    I would give it a 6, but the short duration and its high price 16.79€, force me to give it a score of 2, since the cost of the games cannot be tolerated compared to what they offer you.    … Full Review »
