Wow... that 6th chapter...

[Pantoni]

First of all... this game is f*cking amazing. I'm playing it on mid settings (mostly) and it looks incredible. The combat is fun, hard enough, and everything is top tier.

I'm on the 6th chapter, currently fighting what I think is the final boss. It's a long, hard, infuriating, demoralizing battle. As expected. Nothing to complain for me.

But Oh my God with the mountain whatever it's called level design. Jesus... they made flying around boring!! If they made this the first level I would have dropped the game inmediately.
It could just been 4 small islands to explore and use the cloud to fly between them, but nope!

There was a couple of good things though (I won't spoil them), but too few. The map was waaaay too big and almost totally empty (aside some random "bosses"). I did found a chest, though. And that frog (yes, another one)... yeah, f*ck that thing.

Cheers!

"It could just been 4 small islands to explore and use the cloud to fly between them, but nope!" Good take actually.

Yea, the lack of map and any sort of guideposts makes Chapter 6 especially dumb. Hell, one of the mandatory Chapter 6 bosses is a stat check gimmick fight that gives you no indication of how you're supposed to complete it.

This game just assumes you'll be on your phone looking up stuff the whole time you're playing, so they didn't bother adding a UI, quest text or any other basic information to their game.

Yeah Chapter 6 was really not good. If it didn't have the Mantis and THE boss I'd have nothing good to say about it.

Yeah actually islands would’ve been cool thematically but lore wise it kinda had to be the same mountain area you start off in

There are plenty of guideposts in chapter 6. I had no trouble finding anything other than the singular chest that has crap armor in it.

It can be the same mountain but with some floating islands. It wouldn't be the weirdest thing in the game.

I'm fine with the souls games not having maps, but in this case it would have been really useful, specially with the invisible walls.

I like the hopper though. It caught me off guard the first time. I was fighting one of those hippos and when I turned the camera, that thing was staring at me. Not cool at all.

Cheers!

I loved this game to death until chatper 6. But I hate this one. What a letdown. The exploration was already not great up until now because all the invisible walls, but the cloud takes this to the next level. I've spent over 2 hours spinning in the air like an idiot trying to find ANYTHING interesting. The map is empty AF.

This is so utterly disappointing :(

Oh, and btw: I just spent 40 minutes trying to find my way to the end boss, couldn't find it, even with a guide... There's nothing there, wtf...

Edit: ahhh found it, I had to randomly jump on an invisible platform in the middle of the fog.... how obvious :X
