So, is Stella a good Kinetic VN to start with?
Why do people have started to make difficult metroidvanias? Just because Hollow Knight was one, doesn't mean all metroidvanias have to follow that step. Still, going to give it a try someday.
I'd say so. Of the Kinetic VNs I've played I'd rank the Top 3 as:
Stella is the most consistent one of the three - excellent production, story kept me hooked from the beginning, decent length (took me ~10h or so) and a satisfying ending.
It's probably still influence from HK, it was the biggest hit in this genre in a long time.
You can even see this in other mechanics, Bo also uses that same life system where you can only take a small amount of hits before dying but have a "potion" you can use to refill it mid-battle if you find the right opportunity.
Perfect. Added it to my wishlist.
