Man, this was a fine game, the story did not overstay its welcome it is "to the point" however all the routes I managed to clear have a resolution and the art is mighty good too. I especially appreciate the shine on the female characters' skin, such a simple yet effective render. There are three reoccurring mini-games, here are some tips for struggling players:
(Only relevant on Normal difficulty for the extra content)
The fighting one is really simple the jab is the fastest attack and Kele goes for big knockout punches & combos the other thing I noticed is he stays away from the edge of the arena so until he gets low that's your forever safe-zone, you go in --> land a punch --> fall back, rinse and repeat until he drops.
The
'catch fish with a basket' was probably the least ambitious challenge, I just picked a side and dodged the orange fishes.
Ahanu's trial has delayed my progress - by far - for the longest (
likely cuz' I don't play racing games) bloody fucking holy hell I hate his third level! 1. He's way heavier than you, thus if you hug his side matching his speed he'll take sharp turns for you albeit its finicky 2. you can go faster than him, so taking the lead early on shouldn't pose an issue. 3. Don't speed up before a turn, don't be like me
4. Drifting is a thing? Yeah it makes no sense but you can try stirring left before you take a right turn with high-ish speed, it works, I guess?
Anyway, to summarise Arrival of the Goddess is a solid title, the pathfinding of NPCs "feels a bit rough" but you're never in a situation where it matters. Overall fun stuff.
