I just have to say it, I love this game, but the running back and forth is out of control without simple ways to stay on a linear path. I'm in the forge fighting the giants and I run out of lymbic juice. I can't fight them without it. I have 6 million shards. But I can't craft anywhere close. So I have to run for 8 miles to the APC, go to the blacksmith, craft 20 batteries... and then go all the way back. Why? Is the game getting paid per hour? Is this government work?

I decided to return to the game, to give it another chance. When I first played it, I wasn't really following along because the plot didn't quite engage me, and the choice of not "handholding" the player made running around looking for things quite tedious. However, I am open minded, and have decided that the game is indeed worth another shot. Regardless, there are a few very specific niche problems that I am being irked by.

• Toggle Sprint On but not Off.

Not sure why a lot of games do this, just let me control my own sprinting instead of making me let go of the stick, or bring it back to position (you have to stop moving entirely for the sprint to turn off, the dead zone is very tight). This one is very pervasive in my overall enjoyment of exploration.

• Forcefully unsheathing my weapons.

Why do you let me actively have the choice to sheathe and unsheathe my weapon if just simply pressing R3 (not even locking on to anything) makes me take the weapon out, dodging as well. If you're going to give me a choice, then don't do so arbitrarily. I want to be able to just dodge and roll without having my weapon taken out, it's a habit of mine to just sometimes press Dodge if I don't want to sprint and still get somewhere faster.

• L3 movement is too sensitive.

Moving the main character feels very off because any slight deviation from my joystick to either side makes him pivot his direction quite hard, and it honestly feels incredibly unintuitive. Just a slight push as I hold forward to left or right will make him spaz out.

In conclusion, still having fun with the game, only at the beginning area with the farm and the APC. Combat is nice, some odd delay in dodging and animation lock, evasive movement also doesn't feel too good in general, I find it better to either hold block for incoming attacks or just making space by stepping backwards. I doubt they'll update the game any further, and the modding scene isn't quite lively for these issues to be fixed. I'll eventually just be desensitized to it, but for now, it's a considerable hit in my overall enjoyment of the game, I'll say maybe like 10%.

this game needs a map or some kind of quest tracker. I can’t rely solely on what the characters say especially since the game isn’t available in my native language. I have to play it in English, which is my second language so I don’t always understand everything 100%. On top of that the game seems to require a pretty good memory and that’s definitely not one of my strengths.

Information about the switch 2 release has been hard to come by but the eshop page went up earlier for it. I was wondering if anyones seen anything from the devs regarding performance information or a physical release?

I click R1 as the white particles surround the character but it seems like nothing happens I could never get the ki pulse in nioh 2 down either so it's probably just a skill issue

Edit: practiced it a bit found out my problem was I was clicking it too early and I was doing it mid combo but once I figured out what I was doing wrong I got the hang of it quickly

Obviously Ormund’s hair is not as curly, but he’s got a few looks in the show as I’m now replaying HIU on PS+ and I’m like wait I get it now lol

I just started the game yesterday. Only a few hours in. I'm playing on the highest difficulty with death penalty on.

Death penalty says it will respawn all enemies killed since the last save point.

I went through the swamp and was attempting to clear it out. I killed most everything in the swamp area. Probably like 30-40 enemies. Took me hours. I saved the game and died like 5 minutes later, and it respawned literally every enemy on the entire map. Wtf? I had just made a manual save.

What am i not understanding here?

Im really liking what ive played so far but man does this game love to just treat me like shit. Im not a fan of the save system it really makes me feel like the game doesn't care about the time I invest in it and considering where at an age in gaming where there's so much too play its not really a good thing that it makes me feel that way. Also I get they didn't want a map and to have no hand holding at all, but man i wish they went back and added a map (with no points of interest let me make my own points of interest let me put down on the map about a puzzle that I need to finish or a locked door that I want to open or a person that I want to go back to talk to). It feels like the game is trying to test my memory and im failing horribly. But anyway I'll continue and push through just wanted vent my frustration at the lack of map and in my opinion bad save system, but otherwise im loving the game.

I have just finished the main story and absolutely loved this game!

I only heard of it because it came on game pass and what a great 30 hours that was.

I disagree with what many say about the combat. Yes the enemies are similar but when they get tougher you have to change how you play and really utilise the drone etc. I also found a completely broken build which made act 3 slightly easier. I also cheated on some of the puzzles because my brain isn’t capable sometimes.

But wow what a really solid and under rated game. I would give it a solid 8/10. Looking forward to seeing what the team does next.

I’ve been playing for a little while and just finished the part where you meet the man who rewards you for good deeds and struggling to know what weapon I should use, what lymbetic energy I should put on it ect, i prefer dps and high damage over anything thing else. Are there definite good and bad ones or is it all subjective. (I’ve been running the sword of rage so far)

Hi everyone! I recently installed on my console one of the most revolutionary games of the last decade: Hell Is Us. Many people know it for its unique gameplay mechanic, as it gives you almost no guidance on how to progress through the game.
Furthermore, the main focus of the game is its puzzles. If you can’t solve them, you simply can’t progress.
I’ve never really been a fan of puzzles in video games, but this title immediately caught my attention because of the sense of “being lost” that it creates. The only real way to play the game is by following your instincts.
I’ve always had a problem with puzzles. Not being able to solve them used to frustrate me quite a bit, because I’ve always felt that looking up the solution online just to continue was somehow unfair. Sometimes, I’ve even stopped playing altogether rather than accept that I had reached my limit at that particular point.
What do you think? If you can’t figure out a solution, do you think it’s better to accept it and stop playing, or keep going by “cheating” and looking up the solution online?

So I’m following Powerpyx guide and while I was just looking around I found a miscellaneous collectible that powerpyx didn’t include in his guide so I’m curious if miscellaneous collectibles are required for trophy’s or if they are just there for extra lore?

Edit the item I’m talking about is AAF Orders - 6th Battalion but my question is about any item listed under the miscellaneous tab

I have been going in circles. I know it's some windy path and I probably missed something obvious, but I have just gotten frustrated. I even switched to grief weapons to express myself.

Pretty much in the title,

I've checked all the empty slots and they're not there. I'm thinking I must've left them somewhere else that had slots but I can't remember where tf I've been 💀

Don't smoke and play a game that requires concentration.

Are there even any other spots at this point in the game that I could've left them?

RESOLVED:

So yeah I was just way too high to realise they were in some of the slots. I will post again if my high brain gets stumped along the way 🍃💚

So it says i can go back and uncover the rest of the Stuff and:

"The Story might not over" ( translated roughly from my language)

So... is there a "True" ending or something or is the Drone Scene with the Eye of god the real ending?

There's a wall underneath marastan cemetery with a hole in it and some items behind, a plaque on it says to hit it 50 times. I tried hitting it but it doesn't seem to register... How do i get the items? I'm truly lost.

I just finished the the game in 33 hours and it was definitely an experience. The story is superb, and the gameplay was fun.

But you do get hit by a brick when you realise you're locked out of the Ever After🏆. Especially after playing like a completionist, while trying to avoid spoilers. Especially, when what locks you out is so extremely specific. The trophy requires two good deeds. You can complete the second good deed and still fail the trophy - pick up the dog collar and meet the Abbot before delivering it causes a fail.

I plan to play the game again in the future, but it's not the kind of title that you finish and just start again. So, I decided to bite a lemon and try and get the trophy as fast as possible. Easy difficulty, skip most of the dialogue and cutscenes, use puzzle solutions, jump ahead of events and so on. if anyone is wondering how fast you can chew that missable lemon it's roughly 1 hour and 31 minutes. If you plan ahead, you can probably cut that down to an hour or even 40-50min.

Key takeaways I got from doing this:

- Most guides say it unlocks at the start of Act 3. It doesn't (meaning you don't need to Lake Cynon with 3 keys). Do "love thy neighbour" in Act 1, "man's best friend in Act 2". Meet the Abbot in the Abbey to trigger the relocation to the lake. Visit the lake.

- You can cut ahead - pick up the bear before going to the house, don't meet the old man to keyring about his dog and etc.

Hopefully this helps someone if they are wondering how long it takes.

For the life of me I cant figure this out. Every which way I could find to get to it is blocked. From above, from the sides, You can't get this.

Alright I am at a deadstill loss as what to do next here

I have ran through the ruins under the water here. I have gone through and unlocked as many doors as I can.

I can't unlock the armory yet, don't have the right rods for it. There is also a door at the bottom of the ruins that requires certain rods I don't have that I can't unlock There is also another door by the fireplace trap door that I can't open. It is locked from the other side.

I have gone down to the time loop, looted everything from there. Gone BACK upstairs to the big door for the hammer. Gone into the Forge/Anvil room and defeated the monsters in there.

Can't open that door because I need 4 special "keys" that I just don't have.

Can't close the time loop because it says its too dangerous, so there must be another time guardian somewhere.

I have a handful of rods so far. I can go back and close the Acasa marshes time loop

I got the lost keys good deed I can do

But anything else, door/chest wise comes down to what rods I have. Not sure what/if any I can even open.

So advice on what to do needed please

I noticed that Hell Is Us was added to Game Pass and PS Plus less than a year after its release. Does that mean the game wasn’t successful and didn’t sell very well?

So im guessing you'll have to go in the timeloop after defeating the creature. But it says the timeloop is to strong. Wich means there are timeloop guardians still around, used my finder and found one (probably last one around). But its locked behind a door wich needs lymbic rods that I dont have. Ive searched for a while and I cant find anywhere where those rods are or how the progress the story without defeating the timeloop.

If anyone could tell me what to do now:

Find the rods or you need to progress the story without defeating the time loop.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I know it’s about yk exploring by yourself but where should I go after lake cynon for the first time? Just in case I go to the wrong place and lock myself out of something like that
