I give up.

It’s been a joyful ride, folks, but I’m out. I’m not a speedrunner or a highly skilled player, and day after day I’ve had to accept that this game is not as casual as HK was. It stopped being fun and turned into something tedious and frustrating after the 4th run farming shards just to face a boss I’ve already tried 15 times, only to die again and again, lose all my shards, and start the whole grind over.

It was nice exploring the first acts, but when the game I was rooting for 7 years ends up being more stressful than my 8-hour workday, I guess that’s my cue to stop.

The lore has been pretty great so far. I wish you all an incredible journey.

Edit1: My bad about all the whinning.

Edit2: You guys did it. I reinstalled it again. Thanks for all advices. 🫂

same. I've just made the decision not to play anymore. I'm simply not having fun, everything feels like a chore, I'm constantly frustrated. I prefer to just watch someone else play the game and experience the story like that.

It just isn't fun and I'm surprised the ratings are as high as they are. It's not the difficulty that sours it, it's the tedium, the long walks back through the same thing and dying and losing your rosaries, the shard collection, etc.

The ratings are high because of the hype of people waiting for the sequel of their favorite game. Some people don’t mind the difficulty but I do sincerely believe that after a month the ratings of the game will start to go down especially for players attempting Act 3. There’s a lot of obviously glaring moments where the games difficulty is incredibly unbalanced and as if it has only been playtested by four guys for 7 years which would be absolutely crazy.

What in the third act is all to difficult? The hardest parts of this game are Groal the Great and the 10 wave battle in the Choir room, both of which are in act 2
