downloaded it. its pretty fun so far

my brother saw me play this and said it had an art style that would have worked better for the link's awakening remake than what it had

Your brother is mad

yes but thats not a new thing

and finished. probably the best of the indie games i bought in 2021

for once i noticed frame rate drops

Started this last night, only played for about an hour and on my way to the Witch but I like it so far. I like that the bosses take actual time and skill to take down and it's not just a case of you wailing on them to bring them down :lol:

The boss was good, but I don't know why it didn't come immediately after finding the four souls in the manor where it naturally felt like that boss was about to happen. That's not just me right, that very much felt like the boss was imminent?

Anyway it's good to know I'm not the only one put off by a mere reference to Paul Blart

The second character you can talk to (a security officer) is called Baul Plart.

I did this boss last night and absolutely agree with OR, after collecting the orbs to open that big door, the fact that did not lead to a boss fight was a weird choice. It actually left me confused as to what I had to do next after obtaining the power up as I assumed you going back to the main area meant that whole area was done

Got round to starting this earlier on tonight, just reached the first boss? Well I think it’s the first boss, the castle type one. First impressions are good though!

I think that’s more a mini boss? First main story boss you will come across is the one in the mansion.

Felt more akin to a boss when it first beat me :lol:

had to call it for today anyway, will definitely be playing a lot more of this (hopefully to completion) before Legends Arceus comes out in just under a couple of weeks! How long did it take most people on here anyway?

Yeah it kicked my ass a few times as well :lol:

Spend time exploring once you get a couple of the upgrades as there are some good challenges you can complete to upgrade them further. It’s a great little world to explore and the soundtrack is just plain nice to listen to as well.

What was the in game timer at when you beat it? I’m just passed 6 hours and on my way to get the last of the 3 souls

15 hours according to the switch.

I would encourage you all to go for 100%. There’s a large amount of very enjoyable gaming after the “final boss”.

Yeah I got that but I decided to move on

At the moment, I’m in the Castle and just got the Hookshot and just getting the other bits done so I can face the boss and get the 3rd soul I need. After that, is it just the fight against the final boss? Is the post game more story content that unlocks after the boss?

I won’t say anything about what happens before the final boss, but afterwards, yes, new things unlock. Set in areas you’ve already been to, it’s generally about tying up loose ends for some of the characters you’ve met. It’s an immensely satisfying way to end the game.

It took me 8.5 hours to beat and 13 hours to 100%. Those last 4.5 hours were my favourite, there was less combat and much more small quest-driven exploration and puzzle solving for secrets, rather than just one long single throughline. The reward for 100% is underwhelming but tying everything off was great fun.

I’ll try and go for 100% then! Will hopefully get a chance for a decent amount of time with this later on today, so hopefully I’ll make a nice amount of progress.

I assume then that parts I can see but can’t work out what to do with them may actually open up after I beat the game? I’ll stop exploring for now then and get to the main boss
