terrible game

[ropestring3]

wasted 15 dollars on this trash game. "ooh it's like dark souls" it's not fun to constantly die to minions. Sure I could keep playing, get better at destroying them, and then beat the game, but I won't. Why? because the game is boring. It's just not fun. Anyone scrolling through the discussions to determine if you want to buy, don't. Overpriced too: I got a better game recently for 5 DOLLARS! and this 5 dollar game was worked on for years! In conclusion, this game is trash.

The problem is this: you continue to talk about garbage and raise your opinion at the status of objective without laying the foundations to support your statement. You keep repeating that "it's not fun to die with the minions", "it's not funny because it's boring", "having few directions makes me die", all things PERSONAL.

I'm still waiting to know some objective defect, because so far you haven't even mentioned one. Furthermore, when a criticism moves it is good practice to expose one's credentials as well, to give a structure to this criticism.
I'm trying to expose facts, supporting them with well-structured topics, adding what my experiences are and I've even documented them.

I have passed the kindergarten age long ago and if the level of the discussion has to be so poorly substantiated, we might as well say goodbye.

Fact: grindy, have to do same thing over and over (death mechanic)
Fact: not much direction on how combat works, nor the faith stuff
Fact: first time I tried praying in the game, it broke and I had to reset (very buggy game)
Fact: poor lighting is used to hide the terrible graphics (minecraft literally is better)
Fact: no character customization, so In result don't feel attached to the story
Fact: stamina system is boring, half time in combat is waiting to recharge by running away

from these facts, I determine another fact: the game is trash

Oh, finally a discussion based on something concrete ... I'm almost in tears! Forgive me if I go by numbering what you mentioned but I do it for greater clarity:

1) This is a feature of the genre, not of this particular game. Even in Dark Souls you find yourself having to farm souls, as happens in the various titles I previously mentioned.
2) Honestly, I think there is very little to understand about how combat works. Instead, I give you reason as regards the mechanics of prayer, which needed a more detailed explanation.
3) The fact that the game was bugged for the first time does not make it a "very buggy game". I haven't had a single crash in over 10 hours, for example, and even if it happened it wouldn't allow me to exaggerate by labeling it this way.
4) Here instead we are on completely different planets. I really like the graphics of this game, I find that it has a nice pixel art, a fantastic artistic direction and the atmosphere is absolutely apt (Thanks also to the lighting game used by the developers), contributing to the immersion of the player.
And if you have the pleasure of consulting the various reviews of this game, you will discover that I am not the only concordant in this regard.
5) True, I would have preferred a greater commitment in this regard.
6) Also in this case we talk about a typical mechanic of the genre, especially in the initial stages of the game. If you had bothered to play further you would have discovered that the game allows you to increase it permanently.
Furthermore, by playing more you would also improve your stamina management skills, attacking only in the most effective moments and therefore avoiding having to run away to recharge it.

In short, at the end of the day what remains of your criticism is the lack of explanation of the mechanism of prayer and the lack of personalization of the character, frankly it seems to me a minimum basis for labeling this game as garbage and advising against its purchase...

IMO it did away with all the unnecessary crap.

It's inspired by Diablo 1, or 80s Prince of Persia more than Japanese 'metroidvanias'.



I can imagine what would happen if the scene got hold of character customization mod. We'd see neon-haired fairies running around in their underwear, with angel wings and 7 layers of rainbow coloured particle effects.

Sometimes you just want a no frills warrior, in this case, a red-haired Celt with a good selection of armor.

I don't know what all the fuss is about, I put 102 hrs into this game.

Don't like the game? I do not agree, but I respect it.
What I cannot accept is to see it labeled so badly conveying an objective message, when the problem is purely personal.

Basically you have opened a discussion in which you badly label the game because it bores you. And you get bored because you die ... at this point then I could label any title as "trash", if this is the starting point! Mario Odyssey is trash, because jumping so precisely is difficult and because I can't and I get bored I want to prevent people from throwing € 60.
Do you see such a statement as childish and meaningless?

Come on, let's try to be serious: there are hundreds of titles that are objectively a scam, and from which it is right to warn the community before it wastes its money. But the notice must have a more solid base than what you have transmitted so far, because the reasons cited are a limitation of yours, not of the entire videogame community.

Blah blah blah The original post is correct. This game is trash.....period.

A comment without any detail to support what it claims.

The journalistic criticism of the sector has promoted this title, 80% of the steam reviews of the last month are extremely positive, over 70% of over 500 reviews are positive... forgive me if I remain convinced that you do not know how to distinguish between what really garbage is and what simply goes beyond your taste or your abilities.

but taking tome to get gud is waste of time? I have many games in my library which are superior... it is maybe true my reaction is harsh but I still think it is overpriced

Overpriced? This twenty dollar game with this much effort put into it is *OVERPRICED*? Big game companies are selling you outfit skins for $15 but this 4~15 hour rogue-lite dungeon explorer is *Overpriced*?

Man, get out of here. This game is fantastic. It's totally fine if you didn't enjoy it, but don't lob "overpriced." For the effort, this game is disgustingly underpriced.

"disgustingly underpriced" terrible graphics, dumb combat, no story, slow gameplay. 15$ is overpriced. Just because some companies are even worse doesn't mean this isn't also bad. I've literally played better free games on roblox with more effort in them
