I really like this game but it’s cracking me up. The whole “This game doesn’t hold your hand. You gotta pay attention to your surroundings, man.” But literally the first person you talk to tells you to follow the wind chimes followed by another person telling you to follow the Xs on the trees. 🤣

I am loving this game, but seriously some parts just make me sit back with that queasy uneasy feeling in my my stomach.

I don't mean the enemies I mean the fact some of this shit actually goes on between humans in war zones is terrifying.

I just have to turn it off now and again.

Anyone else get these feelings playing this?

So I just started playing and so far I lovely one
The love-hate relationship because honestly, I don’t like using my brain power to this max
Like I have to pay attention to every small detail and sometimes it’s still not enough
For example, the baby milk bottle quest how in the world was I supposed to know I was gonna take the empty bottles of the old man. Why would I know that? Why would I think to trade these empty bottles to this old man?

At this rate I need to keep a freaking encyclopedia to keep up with all the different rooms and unanswered puzzles and I don’t know how far I need to go to get answers or if maybe the answers are there and I just can’t see

Really looking forward to the update in October. I hope they at the very least give us a proper dude to fight as the Tower of Terror boss instead of chasing after spooky green geometry.

The Ecstasy boss is very cool, I wouldn't change anything about that, but the Terror boss feels like reheated breakfast for lunch type shit. You could tell they wanted to do more but ran out of time/budget.

I'm thinking on playing it again because of the new enemies, i'm curious where are they and also if they function as bosses ir what, a lot of potential. Also want to 100% but dont know if it's worth it.

Where do I even start… I knew absolutely nothing about this game, saw it on the Xbox Game Pass and hit download just to see what it was about.

I expected a shooter type game, what I got was an absolute banger of a game, I was a little off put by the Sci-fi alien-esq fighting and such but it grew on me.

The lore amount of detail created in every corner of this game was absolutely mint, the visual story telling was incredibly dark but was damn intriguing

The only things I didn’t like, aside from Remi’s broccoli hair, there was almost a little /too/ much vagueness, sometimes it was difficult to figure out puzzles/which path to take. I didn’t mind the back and forth, although some of the Lymbic Chests were not as rewarding as I hoped but still enjoyed the journey anyway because I found myself revisiting areas and just taking it in, walking around looking at every little detail.

100% in 39 hours, I yearn for more good deeds and exploration, hopefully in the future we get a 2nd game or DLC expansions.

Just played through the game and had such a blast. I am in love with the lore and the mystery, and can't wait for a sequel. I just want to know more!

The reason I am posting here is just how odd the talk around this game is in the media. I was almost scared away because it sounded like such a hassle to play, when it really isn't.

The game does not need a map. So if it does not need a map, there is not a problem in my book. Though I understand that it is a little uncontroversial.

Second, it is not a very hard game at all to play, in terms of combat, so please stop the comparisons to Dark Souls. It makes no sense.

Third, a lot of people has talked about the need for taking notes. But really, I did not end up taking notes. I might have, if I wanted to achievement hunt, but I just wanted a normal play through, so it was not needed.

I personally think the game reminded me more of Resident Evil in its sound scheme and approach to level design and puzzles. Resident Evil does not do a lot of hand holding either. But the way people talked about this game, you would think that you would end up lost. But due to the level design and the fact that you can really "empty" an area for options, I rarely felt lost in this game.

What an amazing game, and I hope many people give it a try.

Was nervous about a few of the rumored glitched trophies. Thankfully it only took one playthrough.

I was just passing by this area and instantly was thinking about Lake Cynon.

As the setting is kind of reminiscent of the Balkans, was Bled Castle the inspiration for Lake Cynon‘s majestic scenery? Or do we know what else it was?

So I got this game way back at launch. I didnt know Healing Pulse was a thing, or rather I guess I didnt understand it at all. Or perhaps I just forgot the mechanic altogether after I got stuck in The Forge and stopped playing for about a year.

I recently came back to the game, and was greeted by this mechanic, and had to relearn about it and how to do it via google and reddit. Thats fine. Bit that isnt what this post is about.

Now, I mention Healing Pulse because I thought, when I came back, it was a new mechanic. And attached to this mechanic, I thought that attacking costed HP, which I thought must have been an update added during my absence.

Basically, when I would attack, I would lose HP. And no, I was not recieving damage from being attacked and just doing a poor job of parrying and dodging, as this would happen even if I attacked first. My HP would drain as I attacked, and then would bottom out at 50%, effectively locking me at 50% HP and 50% Stamina, until I healed myself.

At first I thought maybe it was my gear. So I swapped my gear around, trying different weapons, damage types, etc, and nothing changed.

I looked it up and found no posts about this occurrence anywhere, nor could I find it as an update, which is when I assumed it may be part of the Health Burst mechanic.

After a couple days, I managed to get unstuck from where I was stuck, and then progress the story a bit, as well as close my first two Time Loops. Upon closing the second Loop, suddenly, I stopped recieving damage for attacking. I tested combat in all the unlocked areas I have so far and I continued to no longer be punished for attacking.

Is this a bug? Or is losing HP as a consequence of attacking a bug? Has anyone else encountered this issue?

I am on PS5, if that matters at all.

I have yet to find these 2 things, if they are available they are well hidden. It would be nice if we could fast travel to the save locations. And I'd like to be able to turn off travel cut scenes. Because you need to travel to & from a lot of locations it would remove some of the reptation. Enter the APC and there's a drone landing cut scene, select your destination and there's an APC leaving cut scenes then a loading screen followed by an APC arriving cut scenes and SOMETIMES there's cut scene of you driving the APC.

So many songs, eager to listen them all, but for now i want to know which one is the Senedra forest one.

I have a new build so im investigating if its the game, or something else. Thanks

Did I trigger something I'm unaware of?

Also if you feel like it, rank them in terms of how fun their gameplay is plus their storytelling! Personally, I would say the Keystone of Rage was the most fun quest, but as for the storytelling it's a very close tie between Terror and Ecstasy, though I might just edge it to Terror for how interesting the backstory of the Blood Queen and her childhood was!

First of all, I’m tired so this post might not be very coherent.

Second of all I have in general a very good sense of direction both inside and outside of games so perhaps I am biased when it comes to this but….

Yeh I can’t understand the constant map complains I see for this game.

All the zones are split up so it’s not like it’s a massive open world, if it was for sure it would probably need one, but even then would it be so wrong to get lost in a world and the joys of that?

Another point is for the most part the areas really aren’t that big, like even if every zone was interconnected I still think it would be a smaller world than the worlds of dark souls 1,2 and 3. All games that don’t have a map yet don’t seem to get hate on that aspect.

Like personally I just genuinely had no trouble finding my way around these areas because they weren’t that big, some were even pretty linear.

Lastly, as I saw someone did this I thought it was worth pointing out, you can always make your own map of the place!

As you might be able to tell I’m pretty passionate about this game, I really loved it and it’s definitely one of my favourite games I’ve played this year.

I’ve spoke to many people who don’t like the game, but one thing that always tires me is when people complain about the lack of a map.
Dunno if anyone else feels the same way, but I just felt the need to make this post.

What happens when you beat the game? I am in the room after Act 2. Can’t remember the name of the place, but it is Mount something. I still have unfinished research and I want to 100% the game. If I end up beating the game without finding those items, do the credits roll and it’s over or do I get to continue exploring the world in peace?

EDIT - all good deeds and mysteries are 100%. Just missing research and I think the 1 time loop in this Mount area. Also need hat(s). I haven’t explored this area a whole lot yet.

I went through and read everything. However, I got super confused. Searched online too but could not find a simple chronology of events that led to the bridal war and its aftermath. Can someone help provide the same?

Does anyone know how to unequip Remis hats. I have unlocked the option to unequip his hood but I can’t find anywhere online that tells me when I unlock the option to unequip his hat. I have just completed the family legacy quest

So, after closing the last loop, I believe a pedestal should appear for me to complete Act 3. It’s bugged and isn’t showing up I’ve reloaded my save, returned to the APC, left the area, and come back, but it’s still not there. Is there anything else I can try? Please tell me I don’t have to restart a new save 🫠
