Fenix Furia Review

<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; left&semi;">Green Lava Studios has given gamers a very interesting title in <em>Fenix Furia<&sol;em>&period; Think of this game as a mash-up of<em> Sonic&colon; The Hedgehog<&sol;em>&comma; <em>Super Mario <&sol;em><em>Brothers<&sol;em> and<em> Braid<&sol;em>&period; The outcome would be a very <em>different<&sol;em> type of platformer&period; I will say this though&colon; the three games that I mentioned are much better than this title&period; While extremely unique and fun for a time&comma; it seems to me like <em>Fenix Furia<&sol;em> is a one and done title&period; I have no desire to play this tomorrow or the next day&semi; nothing is drawing me to it&period; That being said&comma; I did have some fun with it while I was interested in the title&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; left&semi;">The story&comma; as with most platformers&comma; is somewhat flimsy&period; The opening cut scene shows a blue cube &lpar;think tesseract from <em>Captain America<&sol;em>&rpar; floating through space and crashing into a planet&period; The protagonist gets up from his rock and goes to investigate&period; Basically&comma; in each level&comma; you are aiming to jump into the cube to be teleported to the next level&period; The levels are pretty short and you are timed from the get-go&semi; basically&comma; if you beat the game&&num;8217&semi;s time&comma; you get a special award and a trophy later&period; You also have the chance to grab a cookie in each level&comma; which grants you a trophy as well if you can get all of them in a world&period; The first world you are thrown into is the Red Forest&comma; which is very red&comma; but not very forest-y&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<figure id&equals;"attachment&lowbar;107891" aria-describedby&equals;"caption-attachment-107891" style&equals;"width&colon;

left&semi;">As I said before&comma; in each level there is a time limit to beat and a cookie to find&period; Most of the time the cookie is easy to get to&comma; but sometimes you&&num;8217&semi;ll bang your head against the wall trying to get the cookie just to have all the cookies&period; At first you can blow through the levels&comma; but it began to get tougher and tougher as you try to get the cookie and pass the level&period; What makes it tougher is the fact that there are green slime squares that kill you immediately when you touch them&period; You have to avoid them at all costs by dodging them&comma; jumping over them&comma; and avoiding them completely&period; Sometimes it isn&&num;8217&semi;t a very easy task and you&&num;8217&semi;ll die multiple times&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; left&semi;">To stay alive you have a very simple control scheme&comma; X is jump&comma; the left joystick is move&comma; and R1 is dash&period; Not too difficult to learn&comma; but very difficult to master&period; Most of the time jump isn&&num;8217&semi;t as floaty as it is in this title&period; You&&num;8217&semi;ll find yourself avoiding one dangerous square only to be hit by another&period; If you keep hitting X&comma; you will stay in the air&period; You won&&num;8217&semi;t hover though&comma; but rather go up and up&comma; so you have to time your X presses to succeed&period; Using dash will save you many deaths and help you beat the time limit to the levels&comma; but don&&num;8217&semi;t get your hopes up on beating those times&semi; they are near superhuman&period; After the first ten levels in the first world&comma; I realized that this was going to be an insanely repetitive game&comma; and I was correct&period; <em>&lpar;Stupid cube making me chase it all over tarnation&period;&rpar;<&sol;em><&sol;p>&NewLine;<figure id&equals;"attachment&lowbar;107897" aria-describedby&equals;"caption-attachment-107897" style&equals;"width&colon;

or just someone who loves doing the same thing over and over&period; It is fun in short spurts of time&comma; but definitely not a game you want to marathon&period; Personally&comma; if I didn&&num;8217&semi;t review this game&comma; I would never buy it&period; It just isn&&num;8217&semi;t my cup of tea&period; I&&num;8217&semi;m sure there are folks out there that love this type of game&comma; but sadly I am not one of them&period; The title has all the qualities of a good game&comma; good albeit flighty controls&comma; nice graphics&comma; and a killer soundtrack&period; That wasn&&num;8217&semi;t enough to keep me vested though&period; I&&num;8217&semi;m not a fan of repetition&comma; which is why this game didn&&num;8217&semi;t mesh well with me&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<hr &sol;>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; center&semi;"><em><strong>A PS4 review code for Fenix Furia was provided by Reverb Triple XP for the purpose of this review<&sol;strong><&sol;em><&sol;p>&NewLine;
