Disregarding lack of time, that is. Is there any particular mechanic you were not fond of? Was a game too difficult for you? Was it the overall enjoyment of the game?

Pic totally unrelated :]

Lords of the Fallen (remake) just felt a little too floaty to me. I might have ended up liking the game if I gave it more of a shot, but the very first boss was enough for me already. Maybe I’ll get back to it at some point, but I doubt it

    I stopped playing DS3 because Silksong came out… I resumed last weekend – after recently beating Silksong – and while it took me a bit to remember what the hell I was doing and how to control my character, I managed to defeat a demon and stumble my way through most of Smouldering Lake (to the point that I found the boss, at least) so I guess I haven’t forgotten everything in the interim.

        That’s like getting only the first ending in Hollow Knight and never awakening the Dream Nail. There’s some pretty significant stuff left…

        Also, I don’t really blame you. I found Act 2 challenging, and it just got harder from there. Act 3 was brutal.

        Some things you missed out on:

        • three gauntlets back to back with no bench
        • at least 8 boss fights, including…
        • possibly the hardest boss fight in the game
        • the other hardest boss fight in the game
        • possibly several optional areas plus at least three[1] definitely missed areas – and the bosses/quests/challenges associated with them
        • at least one crest
        • at least one movement ability

        …among other things.

        [1]: Not sure on the exact count on further reflection; may be more depending on how you count areas.
