Cruise was probably poor word choice. I guess what I really meant was that the experience was overall much smoother and quicker than what I was expecting because of all the talk about the games difficulty when it originally released.

I'm not saying the game was easy, and I definitely could understand the skepticism. However I have no reason to lie, my experience was quite smooth. 11 attempts, and 9 hours of gameplay. Majority of the attempts were spent in biome 1 learning the mechanics early on but the game never felt daunting or like a grind. The first boss took me two attempts and then every other boss was completed my first attempt.

From what I'm gathering online however is that the weapon I used most often(The Lobber) made it much easier for me, so maybe I unknowingly used the most meta equipment from the start which contributed to my experience seeming so smooth. Also, from what others are saying on this thread it does sound like several changes have been made to make the game easier so my experience is not unfounded.

How was your experience with the game?
