Furi

Ah, Furi. Another promising game I was looking forward to. Been almost 5 years since its release now too.

Furi is a top-down bullet hell hack and slash. The game is comprised of a series of bossfights - levels, if you will. You've got your melee slash, your ranged gun, charged attacks for both that deal more damage but leave you vulnerable, a parry, and a dodge-dash. Good, if standard, stuff. The boss fights offer a healthy amount of difficulty, but are also somewhat forgiving, giving you a full heal and one of your lives back after each phase, so there's a good chance of beating them on the first try since you essentially get a practice run every phase.

Now, I'll address the elephant first. This game has shoddy keyboard+mouse controls for how high action and precision demanding it is. I don't think it's an inherent problem in the type of game Furi is, I just think the developers didn't care to add it in. Like, give me my mouse cursor at the very least, instead of some reticle on the ground serving as a vague hint. For a PC game, this is unacceptable, and amounts to more than half of my frustration with the game.
The rest leans more toward personal issues. It feels like Furi is more oriented towards the speedrunner and completionist kind. The game's about 6 hours long, I think, but there's a more difficult mode, and extra praise if you do really well in the fights. While a norm for bossfights in all action games, I'm not actually a big fan of the rather rigid series of actions-responses you're supposed to do at times. I think Furi offers a good amount of freedom for a bossfight game, but it's inherently quite reaction-and-memorization based.
And finally, it just seems rough around the edges. The graphics are stylized, but still feel a bit... amateur. Same for the animations. Not bad, but a bit off. It's a minor grievance, and I'm not one to hate on game art, but it bleeds a bit into how responsive the game feels, and how well attacks and whatnot are telegraphed.

Overall, I can't give Furi a personal recommendation. If you're a fan of bossfights, hack and slash, and/or bullet hell, it might very well be up your alley, but I think it's far from perfection in any case. Just make sure you own a controller before playing, because otherwise I can almost guarantee you'll have a greatly suboptimal experience.
