We keep digging in the impressive list of demos which have appeared on Steam since the beginning of the Steam Festival. Now is the turn of Raji: An Ancient Epic, whose gameplay is clearly inspired by Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, the 2003 hit by Ubisoft.

I've played this demo during the Steam March Festival, it's really cool with very unique and fresh lore that we almost never see in games, unfortunately. The combat starts simple, but gets more complex as you go through the demo.

The platforming has a lot of cool ideas, but the execution of some of them is really bad, there were parts were I kept trying over and over, sometimes falling to my death, because hitting the right combination didn't register or registered too late and there was nothing one could do about it other than keep trying.

Still, I kept going because the lore and aesthetic are very interesting and the combat started to get fun. If they fix the platforming and polish it to remove most of the jankyness, this will be a great game that offers something players aren't accustomed to. I highly recommend people try the demo and check it out for themselves.

nice to see a game embrace indian culture, barely see that in video games, looks good to boot.

nostradamus massive downgrades coming from the staples achieved w/ the Halo 3 sandbox/physics, with Dice/BField it should never be a trade-off, ony thing they should be trading its engine if it isnt up 3 the job (13 Hours ago)
nostradamus Halo keeps being this Sonic title bait & switch "will their next title be able to Look up par with its current gen counterparts"? Never. Even Halo 4 who was pretty good on Campaign suffered from (13 Hours ago)
nostradamus tech? I dunno, go get some insight of Activision (the good input, not the misogyny), all they COD devs make evident generation leaps tech-wise. Do they keep being the same core IP? I think so. (13 Hours ago)
nostradamus so Halo must be thet bottomb of the barrel FPS to keep its identity. Add some negligible subsurface scattering reflections or some other tech only possible now and call it the day copy/pasting the ol (13 Hours ago)
b0vril yea but, would it be halo then? (14 Hours ago)
nostradamus engines. I mean, If you can have a PS3 Ratchet & Clanck that looks like a vaseline ps3 game, and a PS5 Ratchet&Clack that looks like a goddamn next-gen game, why can't Halo Evolve - Ugly FPS Seal™ (1 Day ago)
nostradamus Halo Infinite sure is one ugly damn game. Pretty obvious nothing is going to massible change if the Ip doesn't die and start from the ground up with another publisher/dev that doesn't retread the ol (1 Day ago)
