I play a lot of games. Most of them are lame. It's a service I provide to no one, telling them which ones I did or didn't like and why. Currently I didn't like Darkstar One and was ambivalent about Otogi. Neither seems worth a full review, so here's a combo.
Darkstar One is a space game. Where you fly around. In space. Sounds awesome, right? Yeah. Not so much. It's basically the same fight, over and over and over. You just have to waste some time trading commodities or escorting folks to buy better gear to fight tougher guys. I kept trying to eke some fun out of it, but when a bug blocked my forward progress, I was secretly relieved.
Otogi: Myth of Demons (From Software, 2003) is a half decent action game that I mostly liked for the Japanese trappings. The problem is that the combat is not very fun, and it actually gets pretty hard in the last few missions. My main problem with the game was that it lied to me. The early levels are so easy they bored me into complacency. Then the later levels are not only difficult, but the best way to tackle many of them seems to be spamming magic, which was pretty unsatisfying. I like to mix it up.
