Died and got stuck during the tutorial
Important to note that I'm still sort of having fun. It's similar enough to other games that I can probably wiggle through, but I am already reloading previous saves and attempting to scum, which generally goes against the spirit of games like these. But maybe Vagrus is different. Usually tutorials are exempt from fail states. But that is just a convention, there's no reason not to break it sometimes. It's just that these deaths force me to replay sections and thoroughly kill engagement. The writing is good enough, and the combat is clunky and annoying enough, that I kinda want to skip one to get back to the other. So what if my characters get crit to death again and again? Who cares? I hate to say, my investment in this phase is more or less zero, just let me through already. I was going to leave a much harsher review, specifically aimed at the type of person who would reply to Git Gud. Because reviews can't receive replies, these toxic little fanboys could only quietly seethe and rage and write their own reviews, turning this review section into a warzone like so many others. And I wouldn't have to read any of it, which is definitely a win for me. But then the devs would also have a marring 1/5 review on their score, and they don't deserve that. There's a lot of love here. So yeah, 3/5, maybe adjust the early game hell.
Is this helpful to you?
