They all suck.
Yes.
I’m a dirty praxis effect apologist. Honestly I think that without the praxis ring, the explosions look pretty obviously like miniature effects. I don’t think that’s inherently a bad thing but the sense of scale isn’t really there.
If we’re gonna change the explosions, great, I’m all for it. The original DS pops like a little balloon full of glitter…
But the rings add nothing. The original explosions are still right there and the rings ruin music, sounds, moods n’ moments.
