2016

way better than 2016. marauders are fine enemies. play on Nightmare.

i was reading too much into it, (or more precisely, i was interpreting it incorrectly) as apparently the author's word (which I consider important; the author is undead) is that the game is about beauty and light in (seemingly) ugly places and times, which i can see. so the reverse of what i thought it was attempting to communicate.

also there's a Nick Land NPC.

has no right to be as good as it is.

should of played this game more when i had the chance.

fairly good but holy shit is this hard.

i’ve tried to get into it multiple times, with and without friends, and every time i/we quit after the first quest/boss because it’s so fucking boring and empty.

it's like worse Terraria and Terraria already isn't particularly good.

is there actually any strategy to this or is it pure RNG?

actually bad. as someone who likes their fair share of old games, this one just sucks, mainly due to poor level design, and is only thought to be a masterpiece through the power of social inertia. i'm sure mods make it better, but we aren't reviewing mods.

completed on hard difficulty. maybe it would of been less grueling on a lower difficulty.
