Sublime Island Design Desaster

[criscal]

Hi,

I have recently experienced the design desaster that is called Sublime Island.

It makes a long bullet lists of what not to do:

- Don't make a full reset on death and make people get bored by minutes of getting through the party before trying again.
- Sneaking is not a choice to make things way safer.
- You can't fight back or just stomp the front door
- the camera can't be swiveled around - kind of must for every sneak game
- the controls are clunky
- the hit boxes for the alarm are fishy
- you can't run away to a safe spot, even if it is far away
- rather than killing you on the spot - as you will die in the end anyway - it drags out this experience to like 10-20 s.

Plainly I hope the designer of this island has learned or moved on to ruin another game in the industry.

Oh boy, did you went to Metus Island yet? At least Sublime is way shorter than Metus.

For me it would be enough if there were checkpoints so you don't have to do the whole thing from the start.

Sublime certainly is a great example of how not to make a quest. Checkpoints would have made all the difference.

Metus at least has an atmosphere. It did peak my interest compared to the other.
