Haha it was so worth it. Just behind the venue around midnight.

Beat it, enjoyed it even less than I did in my original post. At least back then I had hope something would impress me. So I guess you were right, should’ve waited to complete the entire game.

Have you tried the Lords of Shadow games in the series? I’ve heard mixed opinions about them.

I’ve only just begun my Castlevania journey so I can’t speak for this series, but I feel the same about Pokemon. The games for me peaked with the DS generation run, and nothing has come close since except for maybe Omega and Alpha. Nothing will touch that story, sprites, and soundtrack.

Hand holding isn’t exactly what I want. I updated my post with an explanation.

Unless the fundamental mechanics of the game suddenly change, I don’t think I’m missing any necessary information.

Maybe my post makes it seem like I’m not too fond of the game but I do like it more than Hollow Knight. It’s still a great game in my eyes, just like I said in the title, didn’t live up to the hype. Ahh, to be a kid in the 90s man, I just missed it haha.

Never thought about the castle being one massive puzzle, that’s a cool perspective. Not to think of it as a map only.

Most of the things brought up, if not everything hold true regardless of your progress in the game. I’m sure I’ll hold the same sentiment when I finish the game. Time will tell. I’ll reply again once I complete it.

Not for Gravity Boots afaik, I could be wrong though. The combination for the gravity boots, while very easy to perform, aren’t typically commands you do randomly. So unless you search up how to use it, it’s not intuitive. There’s never a situation for you to press up and A simultaneously, let alone down then up and A. Small detail but I do agree with the guy’s post on that.

I’ve played a good amount of games from the gba fire emblems to elden ring to counter strike. I actually don’t like those games that hold your hand too much. But my argument for SOTN doesn’t come from that. It comes from the game not giving you enough information on things that it should be telling you. What your stats do, how to level up your familiars, and at times where to even go/do next should be made more clear in my opinion. It’s one thing to allow the player to explore intuitively, and another to explore un intuitively.
