Oh and things I'm tired of in videogames is being ship wrecked at the beginning. Think I might do a 180 and play Hellblade instead in time for the sequel.
I played a few hours of it and quite enjoyed it, then i just stopped playing. It just felt like a lot of tracking back and forth with little reward. There was one of two puzzles that were pretty cool to complete without a guide, but then they just lead to even more otuse puzzles, Finally i got to a big city and everything basically looked the same and i kep getting horribly lost. Think that was the final straw. It did feel unique though.
It all feels very much ike a PC game that has been shoehorned on to console, with some not particularly intuitive HUD elements and navigational inputs.
