I just beat the cathedral and the boss after that and I'm getting kinda sick of this game. The combat isn't good, and there is zero reason to engage with enemies unless there is a puzzle in the room. Said puzzle rooms with infinite respawns are annoying as hell, and enemies tend to be have attacks that are hard to dodge because forcing you to go back to the shadow real is the only punishment possible considering you can't die.And the backtracking, jesus christ. Wanna look for those yellow fragments with your newfound powers? Even if you got a screenshot of the place you want to check out, talk about looking at a needle in a haystack, and the teleporters barely help since they use unrecognizable symbols so it's like go into portal, go through the door of the room, oops, wrong portal, here goes another minute to try the next one and hope it's the right one.Graphics and atmosphere are stellar but man this game is just more fun to look at than actually play.
>play janky ps1 game>expect it to be fun Played yourself
>>11634469>janky ps1 gameThe game is also on PC and Dreamcast, and OP didn't specify the platform he was playing on
>>11634464it's definitely something you need to appreciate more as an interactive adventure rather than a straight game that's really mechanically enjoyable to play.
>>11634485actually I'm playing the PSX version because I believe the dithering makes it look more soulfulbut that's irrelevant
lol you fell for it thinking this game was good
>>11634464fans of the game will tell you its main draw is the writing, but then you look inside and it's pseud shit, kain does the things not by following a train of thought understandable to a normal person but because the writers have decided it'll end in him reaching his goals while he waxes on about how his motivations cannot be understood by a fool such as you the player
>>11634752>it's pseud shit>a videogame isn't actually seriously intellectualgasp!
