Couldn't agree more

This is what happened to me, except I could withstand two hits. No heals left too, and going against three dogs in this condition is impossible.

Only one save slot, lovely.

[Beardo]

You poor, poor SoB. You have it worse than me!

[BhaalSakh]

This. What a mess... The combat ruins an otherwise great game.

[MachineMother]

So the checkpoint system saved you at low health close to an enemy that could kill you immediately? That's super lame and reminds me of Moons of Madness which sucked.

[SEATEK The_LEFTY]

LOL

That is pretty bad save.

How many slots for saves again? One?

You do not have to fight monsters. Most of them are avoidable. I do not fight them, just wait until they will go away.

If it's a short game - start over? It has multiple endings anyways. lol

Lol combat has been fine. Just one health/ammo station away from being topped off at all times, just how it should be.

Was thinking about this myself - like maybe it was planned to be sorta short so you can start over if you get "perma-stuck" (especially if it happens often).

Kinda like how some people play older RE/SH games, where you can run out of health and ammo, though SH always had a decent melee option you get quick, RE - the knife is OK. But I do recall starting RE:0 over once for getting turbo stuck.

Or I guess Fatal Frame too - run out of film, and good luck doing anything lol.

Same here! This game is IMPOSSIBLE!!! Those 1st creatures you run into are so powerful, and all you have is this prodding tool, so you have to fight them from really close up. Meanwhile, I also have these arms attached to me (not my own!) that periodically dig into me and damage my health, too! It's like the game is designed to kill you fast! I thought maybe I missed the gun, but no, I've read reviews that say you don't get one until late in the game! WTF?! As an early backer whose been waiting for this since 2017, I'm so frustrated!

Just learn how to fight them. Once they spit, move in and hit them a few times. Your prod gun has ''charges'' so you can't spam it, you have to let it recharge, those are the white bars on the right.

Alternately, you can wait until they spit, hit them once, the back off and bait another attack you dodge (straving left or right with a bit of distance works)


And yet another way to deal with them is to.. wait until they go away. They just move about, go into those holes into the wall if left alone and they don't have a direct line of sight.
