leaving this here as a work in progress. i am roughly 4 hours in this game. i would refund it but i can't so i'm hopefully going to beat it but i already have so much other shit that i could be playing that maybe i just never will.
i set a budget out for this game and i wish i had just gotten Lords of the Fallen or 2 indie games instead of this.

very upset.

i made a video about my frustration about this game and in the process of making it the game finally clicked for me and i ended up beating it. I spent hours initially being upset at this game for what it was doing that i didn't really take the time to appreciate what it was doing in the first place.
Truly in a world of it's own.

Sometimes art requires patience. Sometimes it requires persistence.

Sometimes you realize that your distaste isn't a loop of negativity, it's a spiral.

Sorry to hear you're not liking it, is your score due to performance issues or do you just not like the game? Just curious as you didn't really give a reason for being so disappointed, and if you set aside budget for it I guess you must've been interested

i just hate the game so far. i don't like the pacing of the game, the mind palace, the constant needing to stop all momentum of the game to either read pages or do a "guess where the clue goes" in the mind palace with no effort, no thought or no punishment for failure and uses no brain power whatsoever. it's a disjointed nightmare of a game with no sense of pacing or any sort of coherency throughout any of my time with it so far.

i respect remedy as a studio but this will be the last time i buy any game they ever release.
