Perfect example, one if my favourite games full stop.
It basically delivers the world full of depth and wonder that procgen promises, but never quite nails.
I'll never understand why people say this. I couldn't even stand to play the game for more than 2-3 hours before the frustration/boredom became overwhelming.
Please explain what gets people like you so excited over this game. I just don't get it. All you do is wander around aimlessly for hours and die to the same things over and over again again. It's extremely frustrating, especially given that you have to start over from the beginning every time you die (and it is way too easy to die). I didn't get very far because I don't have the patience for this trial and error bullshit.
Its the payoff and different worlds are so interesting once you get there. There is a moment where everything just clicks all of a sudden.
I'm in the sale boat, I haven't picked it up for months even though I really want to like it. I don't know what I'l supposed to do and it feels like I have been on every celestial body there is
Another if-you-haven't-yet: Deathloop. Turned out much better than I initially expected, and I found myself going through it multiple times even though it's linear and the same each time. It's a very well done solo game (though there are multiplayer options) with high replayability.
