Avis sur Volgarr the Viking II

Big fan of the first one. The life system is so frustrating, reaching a checkpoint with one life left is just pointless, of course I will die a loooooot just after the checkpoint, why don't you let I me try hard with no limitations instead of punishing me like this ? And no the Undead mode, even optionnal, is too much. Don't get me wrong it's a good tool and the option should stay, but it's unbalanced, too hard or too easy, there must be a middle way : I just want (optionnal) infinite lives, keep my progression at every checkpoint and fail, fail again and fail better instead of being punished and have to start from the begining again and again ! And the undead skin is a little humiliating for 'bad players' like me. It's just like the game wants to remind me every time that I'm not good enough. I only finished Volgarr 1 in normal mode and that was fine by me, I didn't have patience, time and skill to beat the hard mode, and that was cool, the normal mode was enough satisfiying and I never felt judged by the game. Nonetheless, it's a great game, but IMHO one that fails on the razor's edge to keep the balance between motivating challenge and pure nuisance.
