kokosabre: Got Kyn ( 2 years ago) and Stories ( this summer sale) and both games really disappointed me big time.. alas I got them on GOG and played them through(well I got only 5 endings in Stories - True ending + 4 others) .
In Kyn the crafting could really make stuff easy(and you have to craft using their shitty system). So easy that if you get your whole party with legendary gear the fights are over before you can cast any spell...
I didn't even give them a real chance, but good to know I didn't miss much.
Kyn already annoyed me by its lack of settings; I've forgotten if I encountered any issues with fullscreen mode or not, but I remember that I once got a black screen instead of the intro and had to restart for some reason, in any case, technically it made a bad impression on me. And I disliked that you could not pause the dialogue (at least at the beginning), the text was moving way too fast for me to feel comfortable reading it. And it felt kind of bland from the start.
Stories felt too much like it was copying the idea of Bastion, without really grasping what was fun about the narrator. What few I learned of the story in the beginning seemed muddled and unfocused (first he makes a big promise to his dying mother, than he makes a different big promise to his dying neighbour etc.). And the graphics were pretty ugly (and I'm not usually one to say this about graphics, I like a lot of old and low budget indie games with low resolution or pixel art, I don't mind early 2000's 3D graphics and so on, but I didn't like the style of Stories at all. The screenshots look much nicer than what I saw in-game.)
Steamworld Heist is a nice game though, so good on you for winning it. :)
