It sure looks like the Sentinel in spirit, doesn’t it? I’m almost positive I played Archipelagos back in the day, but I barely remember it.*
*my shameful pirating youth means I played a lot of games that I barely remember
Ha! Sorry, I did almost let you have it for being close enough, but must have been in a cruel mood.
I tried playing the Sentinel a few times, but I just could not get my head around what tactics I was meant to be using, maybe I was too young. Annoying, as it was so well reviewed, I felt I was missing out.
You were too young. I was too young and didn’t get it at the time either.
When I discovered it again a few years ago, I got crazy addicted to it. There is a nifty remake called Zenith with better controls.
I’ve always meant to give Sentinel a proper try at some point. I get the feeling it’s one of those games that stands outside the usual rumble of genre progression and technology.
The Pawn?
Proper linkage for Zenith:

This cover evokes a game book to me for some reason. Lone Wolf?
Zelda Wind Waker?
Postbote Pat?
Deponia Doomsday?
Yoku’s Island Express!
Correct! I just chose the last game I finished, which was this really nice pinball-based metroidvania game.
Homefront?
Red Dead Redemption?
