8.1% of players have the clear Blinding Light achievement

uh...did everybody just get this game & then not play it?

EDIT: Yeah all this makes sense with the EA & everything. I guess all I can really say to everyone else is PLAY THE DAMNED GAME already it's frickin good.

[Rosco]

A lot of people who bought the game in early access probably havent played in a bit, since achievements only enabled when the game came out of early access

[TappedWalnut]

That happens with a lot of games, Also just look at my profile.
1,304 games, yet to play 1,023 of those.

Yes, people buy games and just don't play outside of maybe setting up graphics but never get to it.

I bought this game back in 2023, waited till 1.0 and regret waiting. I could've refunded this game back then if I tried, but wanted to support a indie developer.

4.7 hrs in, this game is a chore, and I'm thinking about uninstalling it and moving on.

There is just nothing interesting in the world.

The blindingly ugly visuals like a rainbow farted on the screen (screenshots looked better when I bought it), with godawful story/characters/lore and the cherry on the top of dungcake, the trash-tier AI for enemies.

It's like the perfect combination of what not to do with a game. But this game is rated highly and every other developer playing this will think "YES, this is how I should make a 90s game."

I wanted to check in your reviews what is a perfect combination of what to do in video games and apparently it's Mahjong or another VS clone, out of 48 reviews only those 2 positives, among the reviews there are some where you left a negative review at 25hrs but went to play another 60hrs? That doesn't add up.

To be fair, as someone who fondly remembers the ps1 era, this game isn't much different mechanically than Shadow Tower, King's Field, or Ultima Underworld, the 3 games it seems to be sort of based on. Go back and play them and honestly tell me the combat difficulty or AI is any better. Only King'sfield is tougher, but that's because of all the jank it had. I loved it, but still.

[it's a gabe]

That can happen with games that just came out of early access. Most owners played in EA and few come back, especially when save files end up being wiped. Give it time and as more people buy Dread Delusion, the less rare these sorts of achievements become.

[stevo]

You'd be surprised how many people just buy games and never play them beyond the start. My favourite example of this is Subnautica. 87% only get the "get your feet wet" achievement, which means 13% of buyers never even played the game essentially.

But then after that, only just above 50% of people get the "build a habitat" achievement. Which basically means almost half the players drop out before the game even gets going.

[Clail]

I'd like to play it, but it looks like it'd be best to wait for the first patch based on some of the bug reports im seeing.

[Neynh]

Maybe, just maybe, people played it before achievements was a thing like it's the case with most EA games ? For, example me, I played Dread Delusion between 2022 and 2023 and have like 10 hours in it, so it was way before achievements, and then wanted to wait for 1.0, so now I def need and want to finish Dread Delusion, someday when I find the time... ^^'

edit : and with the wipe, people have to restart from zero and not everyone like or have time for that, even if the new start zone / tuto, and all the 1.0 (and previous) additions may be worth it

I mean okay, but that doesn't mean you have to do the same thing thirty years later just because you have retro graphics.

I'm enjoying the exploration, but the combat in this isn't even as good as Shadow Tower's sequel. They may as well not have bothered to include it.

I'm a Unity developer, and you could code the combat from this up in a single day by yourself. And make it better to boot.

[Dr. Nakisey]

I'm waiting for the dev to fix the low fps bug (I think something similar happened last year while in EA, but it got patched quick).
Played for like 11 hours and saw most of the content, I will probably try to 100% this time

[Drudge]

well it came out on a wednesday, i work till saturday lol. give it some time

[Hootaholic]

The game just came out officially, and the achievements weren't available for a lot of the EA period.
And the saves from early access were wiped so a lot of people needing to start from square one on it
