I loved the first game, played it through twice. So me not liking this game was a major dissapointment and felt like a gut punch. I had such high hopes for this but this just wasn't it. The balancing is broken and the game relies too much on artificial difficulty. The in-game economy is broken. The mechanics are bloated and they're respective controls are awkward. The exploration is way more linear than Hollow Knight. and the biggest fault of all, the sense of progression is basically non existent. Even after 8 hours (actually more than that because I played the Game Pass version during the problems at release) it felt like I was just as weak as I was at the beginning. The first game I've ever stopped playing because it just wasn't fun at all. And that really sucks to say.
