* Yahtzee derides A Hat in Time's title.
-->'''Yahtzee:''' So I also downloaded another game that had some ominous red flags about it called ''A Hat in Time.'' Firstly, the title's ''rubbish!'' "A Hat in Time." "[=Ahatintime.=]" Just saying the words feels like I'm biting down on the side of a plastic cup.

-->One thing I could do without is the way every Captain has to give a fucking acceptance speech when they arrive ''(an Imp Orc states, "Unaccustomed as I am to public speaking...")'', and you and all the orcs you were in the middle of fighting to the death have to stand still and listen to a paragraph of threatening banter they've probably been rehearsing for days. ''(an Imp Orc comes in asking, "Am I late", and being shushed by another Imp Orc)'' And now I'm wondering who the fuck's educating these orcs, because one of them, in their opening remarks, [[SophisticatedAsHell knew what a fucking metaphor was]]. Are there orc liberal arts professors somewhere, assuring each other that stamping out ignorance of advanced language techniques is also basically the same as fighting?

* "Now, when Reid ''says'' he hasn't killed shit, he's truncating a little. He should've said 'I haven't killed shit, except for the 500,000 vampire hunters I murdered in standard combat.' Yes, this is the rather [[WhatMeasureIsAMook glaring incongruity]] in ''Vampyr''. There's something a little bit hollow about Jonathan Reid's quiet nobility and pacifism when he's just had to ''murder'' twelve Cockney thugs on the way back from the chemist."

Well, I suppose it's self-defense killing, but it still raises a lot of questions. How come killing these lads by the hundreds somehow doesn't affect the rest of London's population like killing named characters does? Did they all get bused in from Wolverhampton?"

--->So that's some niggles; them aside, ''Bloodstained'' is the exceedingly rare overfunded Kickstarter project that delivers on its promises. ''[Igarashi says "Promise promise promise promise" to the imps]'' It's exactly what you wanted: ''[one of the imps jumps up and says the exact same thing: "It's exactly what I wanted!"]'' it's ''Symphony of the Night'' again, but bigger and brought up-to-date without changing the fundamental things that you liked about it, albeit with some portraits of very greasy people who ponied up extra cash dotted around the map, the occasional monster modeled after their pet dog, and a "Special Thanks" section in the credits that goes on for three fucking hours.

-->What I don't like so much is the big, indestructible neckbeard in a trench coat and fedora who pursues you relentlessly from room to room because [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation you made the mistake of admitting that you liked an anime once and now he won't leave you alone until he's shown you his entire Blu-Ray collection]]. I get that once we've gone over the hallways enough times to start getting familiar, we need something to keep us unnerved, and he certainly does that as his massive, Pocky-inflated bulk stomps towards you, making all the walls shake, but over time, he becomes more annoying than scary, like those ''VideoGame/SilentHill4'' ghosts ''[one of them portrayed as a VideoGame/PacMan ghost]'' that keep nibbling your bum and playing the stereos too loud while you're trying to get the exploration and puzzle-solving done. Eventually, you realize that his mum told him he can't follow you into certain rooms, so I'd duck into a safe room and listen to his thundering footsteps echo through the building, not having a chuffing clue where the fucker actually is. Then I'll pop my head out and--Oh, he's right outside, boring a Licker to death with his opinions on ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline II''; back in the safe room! This isn't creepy survival horror; this is a mailman trying to negotiate with an angry dog in a front yard.
