5/11/2023 0 Comments Dead cells ps4The game delivers enough blueprints and cell drops (and enemies for more blueprints and cell drops) that, regardless of how slow you are, you never feel punished for rummaging around, even if there’s probably nothing in the fridge. While it does patronize you for being slow, this concentration on speed doesn’t discourage exploration. ![]() Even the in-game timer tracks how long you’re in each biome, as certain rooms-filled with a high number of cells and other equipment-will lock if you take too long. It’s so intent on keeping you at an accelerated momentum that you’re gifted a speed buff after a kill combo, ensuring you’re always at terminal velocity. So Dead Cells is the Transformers of rogue-likes, as the inclusion of such a paper-thin narrative only slows the pace of the game.Īnd like a good Transformers movie, Dead Cells is best enjoyed when the action is fast and relentless. They never will be because you’ll die and the rooms will scatter because of procedural generation. It even pauses the in-game timer when in these rooms, implying that whatever letter or suicide note found is somehow important. This would be fine if Dead Cells didn’t force its faux-narrative onto you, as you’ll often encounter dead-ends that are nothing more than failed attempts at world-building. Whatever narrative that’s there barely lingers in the background, existing as mere window dressing and little else. ![]() There’s some semblance of narrative there: You’re an amorphous blob snatching desecrated bodies and parading them around to collect souls-or something like that.
