I beat the main campaign of Overgrowth. Let's not mince words: the game is bad. It's buggy, unbalanced, unfinished, mushy, and the graphics feel stalled from the late 2000s. Don't get it on sale, don't get it at all.

The game is a series of short combat and climbing sequences. You are dropped in to a tiny level with a few enemies to fight supplemented by varying amounts of climbing and platforming. Despite having only two parts to the gameplay, it fails miserably at both. The combat is overly simplified and extremely unresponsive, and to compound that it's fast-paced and merciless. If you don't block a hit, which you won't be able to because of how unresponsive it is, then you're going to the ground and getting comboed to death assuming the first hit didn't kill you outright which it sometimes does. Be ready to retry 10-second fight sequences over and over until you time a swing perfectly and your attacks connect.

The climbing sequences aren't much more enjoyable. They're neat set pieces, and I like the idea of them, but on a bunch of sections you run at a wall and it just drops you to the ground dead, try again. Or you run up the wall but don't jump just right so it's a try again screen for you after a bit of rag-dolling. I failed at one spot so many times I thought there must be another way up, but no, you just have to run along the wall that half the time doesn't give you a run animation and then jump off at the right angle which you have no way of affecting to get to the far side. This happens so often that it ruins these otherwise fun sections.

Overgrowth suffered from a small dev team and development hell. This game is a mess and a failure and not worth installing.
