I think like 10 years ago I would have done Path of Pain and Pantheon of Hallownest...but at my age now, I don't think I have the patience or time for it. It's like an immediate 5+ hour time sink for each.

I've beaten Nightmare Grimm, Radiance & Trial of the Fool.

I consider myself done.

Screw the Godhome.

i beat it and then it was like "but wait, there's more...!"

fuck no there's not, game ended there as far as i'm concerned, i'm done with it

great game but not worth investing my time being pissed off and confused more than i needed to be

That's how I felt about DQXI and Celeste. They're all good games, but dragging out any more content was making me hate them.

I've almost 100% the game. 112 or whatever, but I've never delivered the flower. I just don't have the patience. One of my favorite games ever though.

I beat Grimm and the final boss. Got 105% in a little under 48 hours. I ended up looking at a guide and referring to posts here for maybe 20% of the stuff though. Some of it I was just never going to find or figure out.

That was quite an enjoyable experience. I can't really think of anything wrong with the game. Looks good, has an interesting story and lore, the charm system is cool, there are interesting enemies, and it has a big map with lots of stuff to do.

Most of my complaints have come down to not being that good at platformers anymore, so I had to really bear down and put more time/effort into this game than I would have liked. I started to channel 12 year old me's hyperfocus/obsession which kinda worries me but it was mostly a positive experience.

I thought about giving it a 9/10 but there doesn't seem to be anything broken or unfair about it, so I'm compelled to give it a 10/10. Don't want to take a point a way because I suck.

Thanks for the help, everyone.

nice
