Princes of Pale Moon

Extremely boring, terrible puzzles, no torches at all. I had no fun at all. Better play Lost City or Guardians, these are really quality modes.

Fun concept and beautiful environments, but as previous users mentioned the puzzles were too obscure and hints too esoteric at times. I decided to stop playing the mod at the "lead with..., leave with..., walk away..." puzzle.

Oh, and yeah, there were no torches, so the first 14 minutes were very dark, shit's annoying. Then I got a level up, got concentration 2, started casting light and it was fine afterwards

The loot and pacing was good.

The balance was basically perfect. The boss fights were appropriately difficult, but I never had to reload, just spend potions. The normal monsters were just a normal obstacle.

5 hours. Party gets to level 10. There's 15 levels to explore, and I've been able to find 19 out of 22 secrets.

Overall, 8/10, really good mod.

The narrative is pretty good, and the world design feels organic, fits the atmosphere.

Secrets are pretty good.

Puzzles are pretty shit though. There's a puzzle with a really shitty hint "lead with..., leave with..., walk away...", and it makes no fucking sense. I was able to solve the puzzle by ignoring the tip and just interacting with the mechanics and basically brute forcing it. A really bad puzzle.

Another terrible puzzle was with pits and pressure plates. No hint, makes no sense, you have to trial and error it. But on error you fall into spikes that one shot your party, unavoidable. You just die and have to reload. One of the worst puzzles I've seen, trial and error that requires reloading.

The monsters variety is alright, but snakes got tiresome by the end.

Other than the shit puzzles though, the mod is good.

Has anyone been able to figure out what to do about the game crashing in the Furnace Cells when you're playing on Mac?

Finished this for the second time. Very nice mod. I would like to see you use the correct keys for the correct locks. For example, round key for round keyhole lock. I did miss a couple secrets.

Do Pickaxes break or did I just lose it somewhere?

For the love of everything Grimrock, why make an instant death trial and error puzzle with zero clues on how to solve it?

Well done. Put one starter torch in and fix the deathtrap at cemetery and it willr emvoe all complaints toward 10/10.

@nick - use bombs.
