    A message to anyone on the fence about this game: Buy it. This is not a massive, 50 hour long AAA game. But it's a gorgeous and extraordinarily thoughtful adventure with tight controls and a wonderfully written story. This game is an indie gem and I sincerely hope that we see a more ambitious sequel.

And its 40 dollars!! I mean RE8 or Ratchet and clanck are shorter and they ask a lot more money for it...

      But if you like adventure games, I don't know why anyone wouldn't take a shot at a game that's only slightly more than half the price of a AAA title.

    I’m really loving this game so far, but there’s 2 things they need to address ASAP
    1. The Parry System - It’s crap, fix it.
    2. Pull the camera back more during fights - Unless you’re constantly rolling, you’re going to get hit off-camera by a enemy you can’t see.

      Yea the corrupt taru fight was awful cuz of those reasons, which sucks cuz i REALLY love his design, its like a dark souls boss tbh, the block and parry need to be 2 separate things cuz its just ass the way it is now, also having to hold down the pulse button to block is so frustrating in combat cuz somtimes as im getting hit I'll hold L1 but the game doesn't register it as a block if im in ANY other animation besides just standing or running, so if im in a damage animation or a knockdown i cant block by holding L1 and i normally just die when i get up

    Flowers in battles can be used several times. They recharge after a while and the rots can activate it again. Of course it will cost a rot action. I'm playing in story mode and find it quite hard, especially the timed battles. I wish I could parry more but it's really difficult. An indicator would have been nice. Still, very cool game.

    Regarding the health flowers, they only heal you for full health when your health bar is lower, but the more meditation spots you find and increase your health bar, the less a flower will fill it up. There *is* a charmstone (charmstones were introduced with the anniversary update of the game) which is super beneficial when it comes to health flowers (and gives your attack a limitied-time boost): gives you more health. Just something to bear in mind 🤔

    Playing this game on hard/expert difficulty is actually a legitimate nightmare. My only gripe with the game is the upgrade system, I feel like it could be improved with more effective upgrades? A lot of them to me personally don’t exactly feel like they serve a purpose other than the rot arrow and multishot upgrade. I just wish it could be more complex so it GENUINELY helps me defeat the chests/bosses 😭

Also, doesn't talk about the yellow circles on the enemy bar that tells how much courage it costs to bind them. Game says nothing about it.
