Hidden Gem-From the Deepest End of the PS2
I hope everyone is doing well. It has been a while since I shared hidden gems I have discovered. Sorry about that; life has been intense for me. Dealing with IRL stuff while trying to discover some hidden gems from the libraries of consoles is not easy after all.
However, talking and sharing about the "hidden gems" I discover is one of the few things that truly bring joy to me.
Rygar The Legendary Adventure can seem unassuming, from its Jake the Generic cover art to its referentiality to some obscure arcade game. Most of the people skipped this action game released for PS2. It has been developed and published by Tecmo.
It embraces the fixed camera angle, similar to Devil May Cry and RE. Yet what makes those fixed camera angles impressive is that the camera angles don't interrupt the action, unlike that PS1 Vampire Hunter game. Action flows in tandem to the camera, and this offers some solid progression, from A to B.
Combat is well constructed; our chained shield moves rather gracefully. The enemy variety, I think, is decent, and the combat makes moving down all those enemies even more enjoyable.
When it comes to graphics, I can say this: they look quite good. Details of the biomes are well recognized.
Why you should give this game a chance. I think one reason is that, as I have mentioned, it is quite an enjoyable experience. The other one is that it makes you appreciate how vast the library of PS2 is. I have always appreciated when a game makes me react with this: "Wow, why have I missed this title?"
"Should look for more."
I hope you give this hidden gem a chance.
