Played through about 7 hours today. Feels like I'm right near the end, but who knows
Initial thoughts -
- I do not care about this love story in the slightest and I wish it wasn't there.
- The mother/daughter storyline and mechanics are not bad, I kind of like it. It adds something to the game at least.
- The Fort was the best part so far. I was hoping that was a sign of the game opening up, but then it goes right back to the railroading.
- I hate these enemies. Stealth doesn't seem to work; even when they aren't aggro'd and I'm completely hidden and standing still they home in on my position. Not sure how I'm supposed to be dealing with them. The visual design is also v. generic, and there's no variety
- Too much exposition, too many cutscenes. Especially in the first ~45 minutes or so, that was really a slog to get through. I could have done without any of the exposition about the otherworld.
- Music and visuals are pretty nice, still a step down from SOMA
I just activated the portal. I am getting pretty sick of all the lucy-with-the-football moments in this game. There's always some scripted deus ex machina that foils my attempt to travel ~1 mile across an empty desert to get to this stupid village. Would like it if I could just get there and advance the plot already.
