You are playing Oris game right?

Hit and run tactics work and counterattack tactics work best, no matter your weapon
Also fuck hard mode, just made it to the glades and 100 deaths already, wtf

It's time to get good

just finished it, got all the times and upgrades all the shards and 100% map completion in 12 hours and i was fart assing around a lot too
that said it is a very nice game, great music, okay combat, decent platforming puzzles, checkpoints are real good
though i dont really like games where you get hurt when you touch enemies
