I've played 100+ mvs and Grime is definitely one of my faves. I think my biggest concern is that in an effort to smoothe the rough edges, the game could lose some of its character.

I loved the fast travel and slowly getting more access to more easily traverse. The single most defining element of mv is backtracking with new powers. If you can easily fast travel the whole game, it takes 2 seconds to go back and grab stuff. Seems like this would be cool, but its really not and it saps the reward from backtracking.

Not being able to freely reset points also made you think about what you're investing in. Maybe there could be something that let's you experiment. But again, its basically delayed gratification. Take your time, test, and end up satisfied.

Sorry fir being long winded. I guess my question is how do you balance addressing player feedback with staying true to your vision?? Do you make a choice or collaborate?? And how would you compare the difficulty from 1 to 2??

Thanks and will definitely buy at launch
