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.

MrWhite People don't read books. They'd rather listen to some dickhead talk smack about shit they haven't a clue about, despite them claiming they have an education in a certain field. Its enough to convince (2 Days ago)
jmd749 Yes, we live in the information age, but most have lost the skill/ability of assimilating and interogating that info. That's why the small misleading sound bites on twitter/facebook is preferred. Sad (2 Days ago)
MrWhite Instead people consult the oracles on Facebook, Twitter and Youtube. All of them with bastardised and warped views of the world driven by decades of repressed bigotry as a hand me down at dinner. (3 Days ago)
MrWhite both on economic systems and a base understanding of the political spectrum. All you need to do is read a couple of books about history or biographies on prominent historical figures and events (3 Days ago)
MrWhite Look at what we've done with it instead. And you're 100% correct about the public now paying more through taxes and tariffs. That would have been obvious to anyone with a modicum of education (3 Days ago)
MrWhite What's alarming with these two things is that on their own, they're two amazing things. The internet should have been a great gift to humanity in driving it forward. (3 Days ago)
