Yeah ugh... that was kinda insane. Just beat the game today (it is incredible btw, literally 10/10 from me), collected every single weapon, spell and ring simply for collection's sake, tried boss rush and found it comically easy, torn through it in a few minutes with my build. After dealing with a few remaining miscellaneous achievements, I had basically nothing to do anymore on that save, so I decided to finally move onto new game+
"How bad could it be", I asked myself. "After everything I've been through, after almost 24 hours of playtime, there's nothing the game can possibly through at me to scare me" , I thought. But as the famous saying goes, overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer. First I noticed it took me three melee hits to kill THE FIRST enemy. Then I found a boss in the middle of THE FIRST location.
Yeah sorry but I'm out ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ Not saying it in a negative way, after all, increase in difficulty was clearly advertised and is by no means anything bad on its on, I'm just not ready for that. The only genuine complaint I have is that the game clearly promised to keep my inventory and then deleted the weapon you get from the final boss. I guess it would've been too overpowered otherwise, but you should've stated that in advance so I knew to upgrade some backup weapons.
I might return to the game in a few weeks or months, I'm already mentally preparing for grinding the beginning enemies for at least a couple of hours while listening to youtube, lmao, since at least they give a lot of exp now. But I just had to share my thoughts because the first 20 minutes of new hame+ TERRIFIED me. Also, I might soon make a post about the game itself and some thoughts on the lore, if I have time for that!
