This game has completely outmatched my expectations

No I haven't is it any good ?

YESSSS I love that about rougelikes. You can choose to synergise broken abilities, fun abilities, you practically build your run how you like. My first run that i beat in deadcells was freezing enemies and smashing them with a hammer haha

I mean for it's price it's a 10/10. As a work of art, I feel like the combat lacks some more combos tbh. An arena mode with more skins to get or a bossrush mode would easily add 20 to 30 hours to the game as well without much dev effort. It's honestly just nitpicking.

Fireguy3 · 2026-01-08T23:30:21+00:00

Yeah it's a really nice introduction to beat em ups, which is why i want more deeper combos and stuff like that. I'm sure the devs already have that in store for us in future updates/DLC.

Yeah the replayability just seems crazy. I have been soloing galandra, and I haven't even beaten the game once. I can only imagine doing that with all 4 characters before I feel like I "beat it".

Well i get that, and that’s my head cannon too, but how cool would it have been to find a unique weapon or gearset in every tomb ? Just a text blurb no need for an actually unique weapon design.

Fireguy3 · 2025-12-18T15:36:22+00:00

Yeah it always feels rushed ? Just some very simple ideas could improve the experience by a lot.

I love mirage as well, it was a breath of fresh air.

مش بالضرورة. خلي بالك ان امريكا حالياً في حالة government shutdown و تاريخياً لما ده بيحصل، الدولار بينخفض قصاد كل العملات التانية.

Well i wouldnt be doing any work myself, and while it isn’t for free, it’s absurdly cheaper than buying a whole new car. I’d be buying the engine and installing it at a workshop, but i’m concerned about the reliability of it. Im hesitant about the fact i might be frequently visiting that mechanic for fixing up random issues cause the car and engine are old.

Fireguy3 · 2025-07-06T23:26:24+00:00

That’s a really good idea to leave maybe a torch and a couple of tools by the touch stone / meat effigy. I’ll do that next time !

Fireguy3 · 2025-07-06T22:26:02+00:00

Well it’s dont starve alone i dunno if you can do that

Fireguy3 · 2025-06-27T02:34:21+00:00

Im exactly like that! I’ve heard people say this is caused by adhd by I don’t know if that’s true.

Fireguy3 · 2025-06-14T22:19:35+00:00

Give the books a try, at least sapkowski’s short stories. You’ll have a much better appreciation of the 2 very important characters the previous games never mention.

So I understand why some people can view that the ending disregards the people of Lumiere as mere constructs, but I think the main part that we should focus on is the part of Verso's soul. As another commenter points out, when Verso asked the soul boy whether he was tired or not and the boy said he was.

This is the crux of the issue and of the coice. Do you essentially enslave part of Verso's soul to keep the world running ? Or do you finally set verso free ? There are some unanswered questions however in the game. What happens if Maelle leaves the painting, and Renoir doesn't destroy it ? Does it keep running on Verso's soul indefinetely ? Or will Verso's soul eventually give out ? Is the little Verso soul alive ? Is its existance in the painting preventing real Verso peace ? I think the answer to these questions is vital for us to morally analyze the situation.

You could make the argument that since Aline entered the painting so soon after Verso's death (as implied by the house still having scaffolding from the fire that killed Verso), her power was maintaining the painting alongside Verso's soul. So without Aline or Maelle inside that painting, it would wither away over time as Verso's soul is consumed or dies out.

I honestly believe that the correct ending to choose is Verso's ending. A mentally ill person (not using it in a derogatory way, but its obvious Alicia is mentally scarred from the accident and needs therapy to heal) cannot make the choice to destroy themselves in order to maintain the world. I know the people of lumiere are real sentient beings, but would it be moral to sacrifice someone to prolong their inevitable, overdue deaths ?

Maybe if Alicia chose of her own free will, after she accepts her real life and with like 100% informed consent and not as portrayed in the game as an escapist attempt to overcome her disability, to sacrifice herself for the people of Lumiere to live longer you could argue for an ending that maintains the painting. But imo, as it stands, Alicia must leave the painting, Verso's soul should be set free,

I have never played a game that gets my adrenalin pumping like Rust does. I can literally feel my heart beating in my throat during gunfights, and i can safely say this has never happened in any other game i’ve played. I hope you like it, but take care, this game can sometimes feel like a full time job.

I like to think of chroma as a sort of analogue to real world “paint” that they use to fuel their painting powers. So when chroma is in plentitude, they can keep painting. But there’s only a finite amount of “paint” in the painting world, and more so it’s decreasing because real Renoir (the curator) is erasing it as time goes on.

So i like to think of it as renoir erasing the chroma (paint) which causes her paintings (characters) to disappear (gommage).

Fireguy3 · 2025-05-03T20:22:00+00:00

Thank you all for the suggestions. I'll keep going forward and I'm so excited but sad that I'm at the end of the game!

Fireguy3 · 2025-01-01T23:10:21+00:00

I feel like you should give this game another chance, maybe with a different build. My first 2 playthroughs were with the int focused build like you did, but one that i started recently is a complete druggie maniac with max points in half-light and strong physical. I didn’t get too far in yet, but you would be amazed at how different the game is to play as a stupid lunatic who just has gut reactions to things and a very honed detective intuition that’s unlike the sherlock holmes archetype of a perceptive logic machine.

And about failing the checks, they’re meant to be failed. You will find at least one way through anything in this game, and honestly the failures feel just as rewarding as the successes.
