you didnt post a pic

After completing the legitimately engaging cypher puzzle , the rest of the game deflated. Being able to "read" the manual , which was tedious as shit, didn't reveal anything interesting that you couldn't have already guessed. A perfectly mediocre game who's highlights are the manual art and the manual puzzles. Could have deleted 70% of the combat and walking and the game would have improved.

By that rationale, all the old Zelda games are inherently flawed, let alone any Castlevania or open-world game, for that matter...

I got filtered by this game and couldnt figure out where to go. LTTP was already somewhat difficult for me to navigate so this is like 1000x harder, it was just too obscure for me.

Souls

Oh, you're one of THOSE people...

"Game is hard, so it must be a Souls-like!"

anon the devs themselves said it's meant to be a "soulslike", playing it you can definitely see why.

I somehow beat the Scavenger Boss and died at the same time on the normal difficulty. Still stayed dead thankfully. Switched to reduced combat difficulty for the final boss. The Golden Path puzzle is neat but I didn't want to invest the time into it so I just looked up the solution. Great game still!

theres bonfires, estus flasks, secret merchants, rollslop. penalties for death, deliberately withheld information, deliberate commital swings. Its so obviously souls inspired

Devs throwing around buzz words

Well that's totally new and has never been done before

see

Bonfires

Save points

Estus flasks

Metered healing mechanic

Secret merchants

Plenty of other games have this

Rolling

Lol

Penalties for death

The only thing I might give you as being Souls-like

Withholding information and Committal swings

Now you're grasping at straws

Implying you entire post wasn't

The only thing I might give you is the respawning enemies and death-penalties. Otherwise, it's an isometric Zelda-like with Souls-like qualities. You could even argue it's a 'Souls-lite' game.

Souls-lite

Dante's half of DMC2 and DMC4

both are rushed games

evidently never playtested and/or tuned Dante's combat with the enemies made with Lucia and Nero in mind

new characters are fun to play as and have great stories

What's the Berlin Interpretation of a true Soulslike?

I dropped it when I had to collect like 50 of those gay little fairies
Cool game up til that point though

4 Nero

fun to play as

it literally has souls combat and the devs said it was meant to be like souls

If anything calling it a "zelda" game because it has a few puzzles and the MC wears a green tunic is the retarded take, it plays nothing like a zelda game

The Golden Path puzzle is neat but I didn't want to invest the time into it so I just looked up the solution

Frankly, I'm just taking the piss--it's an arbitrary label that keeps getting thrown around for any and all games that are remotely hard.

Congratulations, you're better than me this day.

I liked it but I got stuck at a spot where theres some spear nigger on a super narrow bridge area and I just couldn't figure out how to kill him or get around him. So i decided to watch some tv instead and never bothered picking it back up.
I thought the art style and presentation was great though. And the gimmick of finding the manual pages in universe was novel.

the ending sucked.

Too handholding. The game is shit.
The Quarry could be a lot better, but a single item trivialize an entire area.

let's put how to play the game as collectables in the game

No game should be taking notes from Milon's Secret Castle.

He doesn't want to actually play the game to learn it

Expects everything to be spoon-fed to him

You heard it here, folks...

MORE LIKE MILON'S SHITTY ASSHOLE!

I enjoyed the game the entire way thru.
Hunting pages and solving puzzles was kino.
It made th game go from generic Zelda dark-souls clone to actual kino.

Demon Souls
Dark Souls
Elden Ring
Bloodborne

If you really played all those games, why would you keep playing them after the second or third game?

bro if you play video games why are you playing video games!?!

If you don't like a game, why do you keep playing games from the same company

mid game but the soundtrack was nice

I never learned or understood how the language works. Maybe I'm retarded.

I had fun. But I'm good at games.
Don't mean to brag :)
