    Spiders is a company that while I respect the hell out of, for their creativity and desire to tell their own stories, also lacks the technical chops to pull a home run. And from what I saw of this game from watching and LPer do a run of it, it I don't think this game does it for me either. There's just too many issues I saw that made me think this was worth my time. I do hope Spiders manages to pull it out one day, but for now, this ain't it.

  • @blame7121
    @blame7121 9 місяців тому

    Game looks promising, but I am worried about how "trivial" it is and how many skills/abilities are kind of redundant. I mean you showed off a boulder that you can cast in order to climb on it to reach higher places, but... You already have a grabbling hook, which also gets dwarfed by the existence of a flying mount. So what purpose does it serve? I worry that the game gets too easy too fast, unless you set artificial limits on yourself to avoid trivializing the gameplay, but that just means ignoring the tools and features that the game gives you.

    • @zankthegreat4291
      @zankthegreat4291 4 місяці тому

      There are places where the grappling hook can't stick to, but yea, the flying mounts are a little on the broken side. The game does feel pretty easy at this point as well, but I'm sure once the base game is mostly finished, balancing will be done. Also, since it's a sandbox game, there is no real direction you have to follow. I'm about 15 hours in, and never knew of the flying broom until watching this video, as I never really bothered to go to that area.

    Looks like something I would want to try based on the unique art style alone. It's nice that the gameplay also seems like something up my alley. Makes me wonder how the corruption meter fares on higher difficulties, though.

    • @Jonny-Bueno
      @Jonny-Bueno 10 місяців тому

      Yeah, I imagine it would be far more difficult to manage on higher difficulties considering more deaths = more corruption. I imagine sitting at 80-90% corruption would be quite nerve wracking lol.

    This game starts with an amazing atmosphere, but it doesn't take long before you realize you have allies (I expected a solitary and gloomy experience), you can be easily overpowered and later scenarios are not as spooky as the beginning. I think they have a winning formula, and i hope I see new games like this, but I hope they make longer games in this genre with a more balanced combat as well.

    Gave it a shot. It's a lot of fun, though sometimes weapon durability and weight are just outrageous. I finally got a spear and it broke after two hits, and I was forced to run around with a rock for two more floors. This one time a merchant sold me a greatsword and took most of my health. It was good and all, but why is the damn thing so heavy? I kept increasing my strength and it was still too heavy to run or dodge. Eventually I found a zweihander and switched to that, even though it was weaker.
