But what is there to say? by Mischief Maker 05/18/2014, 1:28pm PDT I have real trouble imagining a videogame that hasn't been more honestly advertised than Volgarr. It's an action-platformer in the style of ghouls 'n ghosts and every single advertisement has said that the appeal is the high difficulty level and learning to get better. The youtube trailer even takes the time to show that one jump puzzle in the water stage and how it's designed to fuck you over and over again until you learn how to do it. This isn't a case of some indie game being coy about its genre and covering up crappiness with "artiness." You can't claim to have been mislead into buying this game. Are you going to say the difficulty is "unfair?" It's fucking brutal, but there are no "one pixel standing at the edge" jump puzzles in the game.
