![]() ![]() Mental health problems are pervasive in this field. I've seen some pretty small women out here on hotshot crews rocking 45lbs packs completely killing the game. I haven't seen the movie yet (we're gonna try and watch it as a crew, drunk) and I'm pretty green to the wildland firefighting game, but.Ī. Admittedly I've even been saying this about Tenet recently, if it weren't a Nolan movie I would've appreciated it a lot more but knowing it's Nolan I was overall pretty disappointed, even though I still enjoyed the movie a lot. It ruins so many things for people across all types of media. ![]() It's such a big source of disappointment for people in general, going into things with really high expectations. I just went into it expecting a generic action/thriller with a cool setting and a solid cast. I absolutely love Wind River (and ironically it made me think a lot of that movie before I even made the connection), and I really enjoyed Sicario and Hell or High Water, but I never paid attention to Sheridan in particular, I had no idea those were all the same guy. The thing is I didn't know who directed/wrote it and I didn't know Sheridan's name until the credits rolled. I didn't think it was an amazing movie and I get some of the complaints, but it was well acted all around and was still really entertaining. If you need a challenging 2D platformer, there’s an abundance of better games out there.I think this is a big part of it. It lacks polish, it’s uninteresting, and it can be annoying to deal with. On the surface, She Wants Me Dead looks like it could be something silly and fun with a dark touch to it. The jazzy music is at least catchy, but it can get annoying after a while, too. That said, it just lacks a lot of the heart and soul that made those games visually interesting. Visually, She Wants Me Dead seems inspired by games like Limbo and Inside. If you catch it on sale for, say, two bucks, then maybe it’s worth checking out. ![]() Not to mention, the asking price on Switch is $10, which is steep considering the quality of the game. But even then, it’s not exactly worth playing when there are so many better options out there. It’ll take you about an hour to clear the 10 levels in She Wants Me Dead, so the game isn’t the biggest time investment. Honestly, though, these rewards hardly seem worth saving up coins for. Coins can also be used to purchase outfits. Once you completely run out of health, you can either start the level over or spend coins that you earn by clearing stages to refill your health meter and continue from the last checkpoint you reached. You have health points that deplete every time you die. Holding down the jump button instantly triggers another jump the moment your character’s feet touch the ground, which just doesn’t feel natural and makes areas where you have to perform multiple jumps in a row feel like a chore. A few challenges rely on perfectly timed jumps, too, but the game just feels a little off most of the time. The game doesn’t feel terrible, but it’s not as tight or polished as its contemporaries. It also doesn’t help that the controls in She Wants Me Dead are a bit floaty. While playing, it got to the point where I just wanted to reach the end rather than actually feeling inspired to beat a specific level or clear a certain challenge. Sure, you’ll reach parts that are really challenging, but they come off as tedious more than anything. Sadly, the levels in She Wants Me Dead just feel contrived. And though there can be some degree of fun to be had occasionally, everything here just seems like it’s been done better before - because, well, it has. There are spikes, fire traps, pitfalls, and buzz saws, sure, but the basic layouts aren’t exciting. Unlike those games, though, the levels here are kind of devoid of personality and substance. They’re basic 2D platforming stages that seem inspired by modern tough-as-heck classics like Super Meat Boy and Cele s te. There are 10 stages in She Wants Me Dead. When you do, though, you’re left with an underwhelming, disappointing platformer. It’s quirky and lighthearted, and it’s a good reason to make you want to play the game. Then there’s the story - you’re a dude with a cat, and your cat wants you dead, so she sets up a bunch of traps for you. On its surface, it has this semi- Limbo-like look to it that’s easy to be intrigued by. She Wants Me Dead is the type of game that means well, but too many flaws keep it from being enjoyable. ![]()
