Is it just me or does this game suck? It feels so tedious and monotonous. The reward system is so lacking

>the game doesn’t get good till 2/3rds of the way through
when will this meme die? 1/3rd good and 2/3rds shit is shit

I just don't think the game is for you. I don't agree with a single thing you say about it but you're far in enough to drop it.

>not muh dark souls in every single sentence
Are you actively trying to sound as annoying as possible?

it's quite possibly the best game of the last couple of years

>reward system is so lacking
Hopeless.
That's still letting social media decide your opinion.

It's well made, with great artistic lead. But the Unity input lag makes everything feel sloggy.
Still a good game.

that's not what i said at all though
the base combat is fine and just gets better plus you get to salubra pretty quickly anyway

Sorry i was just using terminology to describe locations, anor londo (and ariamis) is just a perfect example of if you havent gotten to that point youd be forgiven to think souls was drab and boring.

I'm not actually comparing it to souls. I'm only referencing it. My only comparisons were to the general amount of metroidvanias I've played, which is a lot. All igavanias including bloodstained, all metroids, and a handful of indies.

If HK had that anor londo moment and I just didnt know, I would keep playing. Thus the point of the reference.

last thing I remember was fighting the dung beetle guy, how far is that from salubra?

That's way after Salubra

Maybe it's just a matter of taste OP, I started this game last week and was really impressed with it finished it in 4 days. Definitely a masterpiece for me, this is coming from someone who's having a gaming burnout and dropped games left and right. It's probably not your kinda game.

That's said I'm now feeling empty ever since I finished it, to other anons is salt and sanctuary as good as this ? I've heard their similar
