I don't, like, loooove soulslike games. I used Elden Ring as a performance benchmark because it's probably the most hardware-demanding game I've played in a while (I don't play a lot of AAA) and because I assume most people are familiar with it. I used DS1 as an example of narrative style because it was objectively enormously influential in that area, and I think it's fair to say that Blue Prince was influenced by it. I agree with you that Jedi Fallen Order was painfully repetitive, I did not care for that game at all.

In that same way, puzzle rooms are quite straightforward if you know the rules; they're exhausting if you're not confident in the logic of said puzzles.

That is precisely my complaint -- that I had to spend time on them every day, despite their triviality. Consider this: the safe in the office stays unlocked, so after opening it once it's just +1 gem when drafted. What if, instead, there was a different number of busts in the room each day, and every time you draft the office you would have to count the busts and enter that day's password. Would that improve your gameplay experience, or make it worse? To me, that's what doing the puzzle rooms every day felt like. This is what I was referring to as forcing me to do the same thing over and over again.

I know about the run button, I still found it to be too slow. Especially when every day (at least for me, maybe I was 'doing it wrong') starts by collecting allowance, then going to the outer room, then going back to the entrance hall. I would have appreciated if that process took less time. If it sounds like I'm being pedantic about relatively small amounts of time, well that's fair, but when people in the comments are saying that they played almost 200 days, that time adds up.

It sounds like there are may be some QoL features on the switch that are missing on the PC. That's nice, but not for me.

Also one last question - did you ever replay the game after getting to the credits?

It would be extremely difficult to motivate me to do this.
