![[Discussion] Have you stopped playing a soulslike mid-playthrough? What was the reason?](https://lemmy.zip/pictrs/image/d96f2520-7152-4ef0-b2a5-405e34c62683.webp){kind=link}
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
DS1: Really enjoyed it until the pitch-black area. People convinced me to go back to it, and I eventually made it to the bottom of the pit… but I hadn’t rung the second bell, so the path was closed. (There’s no fast travel in DS1, so I would have to climb all the way back out).
Sekiro: Grapling hook is fun, stealth is fun, thought the combat was dumb and too clunky. Gave up at the first fire troll or whatever it was. Absoluetly loved Nine Sols though.
In general I have no tolerance for “just git gud” as an excuse for bad game design. If it’s not fun, then I don’t play it.
Oof there IS fast travel in DS1 after you reach Anor Londo 😅 you really aren’t meant to be in the tomb for the giants until you’ve unlocked it
