Can We Make Better Tutorials for Complex Games? (Patreon)
Content
Hello Patron people! New episode out very soon - it's about making better tutorials for games in genres like grand strategy and simulation. Hope you dig it!
My recommendation this time is Narita Boy - a trippy, retro-tinged brawler with a killer pixel art aesthetic. It's a minor Metroidvania with a bigger focus on fight scenes: which reminds me of Guacamelee. And the strange, esoteric plot makes me think of Sword & Sworcery.
The game's not without its problems - including a floaty jump and simplistic level design - but I just found the whole thing enchanting and utterly engrossing. Nartia Boy's on everything - including Xbox Game Pass.
