Reply To: My verdict
I’m currently on the TRDR level (level 30 I think?), and I’m definitely feeling the same thing I did last time I played this 10 or 15 years ago – the game feels too long by about 1/4.
I feel ready to fight the boss and be satisfied finishing the game, but there’s still 8 or 10 levels left!
I think it is in part because there is only a password system and no saves, so you get only limited sense of progress and achievement.
I also think we’re so trained to be used to threes – three episodes in games, three acts in a play or movie etc.
Lost Vikings has – what – 4 or 5 worlds? And then you even go back to the first one the last stretch.
I dunno. Maybe I’m the only one that feels this way. Does anybody else think it’s too long?
