I’ve managed to get the map and get a quill and found a chamber with some mush called the false knight that destroys me in seconds.
What am I missing as I just don’t see the fun in that game.
It might just not be for you tbf. Are you a metroidvania fan in general? Do you like hunting out and piecing together lore? Do you get much out of challenging combat?
Not really sure what metrovania is. I don’t mind find things and piecing stuff together but I do get nearly at having very little direction and having to go over the same areas and memories routes and things.
The combat is quite good fun so far, other than get print smashed to gooseberry fool by false knight but I think I’d do better second time.
He saving at a bench thing is annoying as hell
as is the beasties reappearing oh and what the hell is with the money after a death bullshit.I do get the feeling it isn’t for me, it just feels like I’m trying to find a reason to like it and even this stuff I was checking YouTube to find what I was meant to do as the game give next to strawberry float all.
Nor a Souls game by the sounds of it
As for the game not telling you anything... it actually does: NPCs you meet talk about delving deeper below ground. After that you're going to hit areas you can progress further down, and areas that are tantalisingly out of reach or closed off. You then stick a marker on the map/take a screenshot as a reminder and go wandering again. There is always somewhere to go and someone to fight. I love the game but I felt *exactly* like you did and sometimes I still do. Usually with the bosses
but almost never with zones as I know there'll be a way to gain access sooner or later.
I'm going to politely disagree with some of the posters in here and suggest that you stick with it - beat the first proper named boss and play some more after it. See how you feel when you *actually* see what the game has to offer. I mean there are zones and bosses and NPCs and animations in this game that you deserve to see. Don't jip yourself. Stick with it.
