Or should I just dodge them and b line it to the objective or collectibles or whatever that progresses the story? Lymbic forge for example, I spent like 3 hours in that place killing every single enemy.. only to make it to the time loop and be missing the one guardian locked behind that door that needs 2 yellow keys… I don’t have those keys, I have to leave the area to get those keys… which means every single enemy and guardian will reset and I’ll have to kill the guardians all again…

So right now I’m on Talju, should I just sprint to wherever (still don’t know where to go)? Also I don’t even know that the prism I need to close the time loop is in that area.. I mean I obviously got a lot of the game done already, finished act 1. I’m finally realizing I should just run.. what do you think?

It's the first puzzle I actually had to look up to resolve and still makes no sense.

Why the girl crying for 90 days should be symbolyzed as an horse?

Overall, symbols in this game are too complicated to understand what they represent, they kinda too stylized.

Hello,

I was having an absolute blast with this game, it is literally all I am looking for in a video game (ok combat could be a bit improved to make it a masterpiece, but this is mainly an exploration game and I love it).

I play on steam deck as my pc is back in my country at the moment. Game was running pretty well. Naturally all my graphic settings were set to low to make it work, but it worked and that is what mattered... until I got to Talju. This was a mess - extreme stutter. To somehow get through Talju, I capped fps at 30, set manual gpu clock to 1300, turned off hdr as well as all upscaling.

As a result game became quite ugly looking, but it was stuttering less - I managed to get through Talju telling myself that next zones will not be as bad, so I will push through this lack of enjoyment.

Then I went to Marastan while keeping same settings as in Talju. It is stuttering there as well like in Talju (playable, but I am forcing myself to play as it is not really enjoyable).

I am at a stage to let it go and hoping I will not lose interest to come back to this game when I will have my pc available in maybe a year or so. But usually when I stop mid playthrough, I do not come back to the game.

So my questions are:

1. are remaining zones as hardware demanding as Talju and Marastan?

2. any other ideas what I could do with my steam deck to decrease or even remove stutter?

Thank you in advance!

Just started the game. First run on Merciless mode. I thought I understood the Endurance concept but it seems im lost on something.

So you hit enemies the pixels appear you time it right hit R1 (PS5) and can heal some.

But then there's the other thing. Attacking enemies, can be distracted, charged attack or normal, enemy not moving and not getting attacked or hit, stamina still well over half but I lose health. Then the more I kill the more health I lose.

There were times it was obvious I was getting hit and times it wasn't but eventually it has now become apparent that hurting or fighting enemies hurts me. Im out of healing items and the small meals don't do anything?

I've tried Google and in not getting any answers that im asking. Can someone plainly explain this to me please?

I heard very mixed reviews and was wondering if I should get it I would like to hear from actual fans.

How is the game? I came across it today on Amazon. I seen PlayStation has the deluxe edition for 19.99. Is it a hard game? What is it about? Any tips I need to know. Thanks!

The marketing for this game really pushes a "unique no hand holding experience", but like, you ever play dark souls?

You get maps if you look around, and while they don't have a "you are here" marker or anything, they have landmarks, you have a compass, its just a normal map with extra steps...

Oh and the "no quest logs and no holding your hand", I mean, it has a quest log, it just calls it "Investigations" you can absolutely open a menu at any time and see where you have to go next.

Fun game, cool themes, I'm liking it... but those developers really loved the smell of their own farts with the marketing. What do you expect from French Canadians lolol

(Spoilers) I decided to stop playing the game. Having to scour every inch of a map more than once just to make sure I didn’t miss anything, replaying conversations, the endless walking, and having way too many unanswered questions not just as to the world but as to the character… it all kind of induced a feeling of feeling overwhelmed by how tedious it all is.

I was choosing to preserve because I was thinking it might pay off, but then I got to the point where we see Vitalis. Here’s the thing, the main motivation of the character up until this point is finding his parents, and to immediately find his father just to see him die and get tasked with a “You’re the chosen one” mission… it all kind of feels meh to me.

I understand this game doesn’t hold your hand, neither do I need my hand to be held. But I just don’t find the gameplay loop rewarding, and I’m struggling to see how other people find the story compelling and emotionally evocative. Guess the game is just not for me, which is sad cus I was looking forward to playing this game expecting to enjoy something that flew under most people’s radars.

I am playing through this game completely blind and I have two questions regarding it.

1. I just unlocked Victor and got a Terror Sword and a Grief Polearm. Is there anyway to increase rhe movement speed? I like the look and vibe of the sword but I want it to at least have a B attack speed, i dont like how slow it is and the other weapons (Dual axes, polearm) arent aesthetically my choice but gameplay wise my fav.

2. Is it worth cranking the difficulty beyond merciless? I am finding the game pretty easy so far and was thinking of maybe increase enemy damage or health or both and I am curious if there’s any recommended parameters or the like or if it just turns every enemy into sponges?
