For a game that came out in 2015, the graphics are still lovely even in 4K! Plus the refresh rate makes it feel like this game has matured like a fine wine. I decided to play a bit of Toren during lunch today, and ended up picking up where I left off for my one hour of gaming. Toren supports cloud saves, so I’m hoping it’ll help me finish it. As beautiful as the game is I am reminded of why I took a long break from it; some of the controls feel a little clunky. Although I am doing better platforming certain areas that I kept fucking up on the last time I played.
If you’re not familiar with Toren, it’s a game where you play as a young girl. You’re alone in a tower, that is frequently harassed by a dragon with a petrifying shriek. So far I’ve only been petrified twice. Both times it was part of the plot though…
You end up dying and being reborn numerous times. The last time I played I only got to her teenage phase before calling it quits. Now I aim to finish this one once and for all. I was impressed with how well it ran on Deck earlier. I played for about half an hour, and it only used about 9 percent of the battery, the fans barely even kicked on. It certainly fits the bill for lunch time/evening distraction!
