SUPA BURORI
XXL 1 is better than XXL 2
yarnfang
I feel like most of us agree with that. It's just faster and more snappy making it more fun to move around and bash things... The bosses is a shame though.'

Yeah but some other time 😄

XXL 2 is the best
SUPA BURORI
but the XXL 2 bosses are little bit better than XXL 1 bosses
Bread
not as repetetive
Bread
But they weren't great either
Martyste Tendertail
XXL 2 bosses were just way too slow and easy...
Martyste Tendertail
While I remember when I played XXL 1 casually, the war machines kept getting more and more dangerous, and so did the level design around them.

XXL2 as a whole is much more polished than XXL1 though
Bread
The point is, the machines were always the same. Always pretty easy to defeat. However, the level design (how you get on top of the machine) of the levels really becomes more difficult over time.

Compare Rome to Normandy
Bread
There nothing really changed
Bread
Except they just doubled the machines
Martyste Tendertail
Well, it works nearly identical for both games
Martyste Tendertail
The boss itself remains the same through the whole game
Martyste Tendertail
Only the way you need to defeat it gets harder
Martyste Tendertail
And even tho the actions were reduced from 4 to 3, XXL 2's bosses felt much slower and required alot of "waiting for him to come to me"
Martyste Tendertail
XXL 1 doesn't have that issue with this much more stationnary boss which you have to turn around.
Martyste Tendertail
Neither of these bosses are fundamentaly great, sadly.
