Today has introduced the launch of Hylics 2, sequel to the 2015 RPG with the most effective spellcasting animations within the style. Made with a mixture of clay fashions, stop-motion animation, and (I feel?) live-action video, it’s such a looker. Sounds nice, too. I dig its complete surreal, psychedelic vibe. The first one was enjoyable too. Very a lot wanting ahead to clocking off right this moment so I can jack in. Here, watch this trailer.
Hylics 2 is a turn-based RPG in an olde JRPG-y means. You construct a celebration of buddies, discover, battle baddies, and fly round on an airship – the Finalest Fantasy mode of transport. It simply occurs to have, y’know, all that fashion. And god, what fashion. I like it. Maybe the best-looking game of the yr thus far. Come at me, Naughty Dog.
There’s a substantial amount of satisfaction in determining fairly what issues are in Hylics. It is standard in quite a lot of methods, however by not reusing acquainted aesthetics and language it turns into fairly pleasant and stunning.
Hylics 2 is out now on Steam and Itch.io, with a 15% launch low cost bringing it all the way down to £10.25/€11.24/$13.49. It’s made by Mason Lindroth with Chuck Salamone chipping in on music too.
