It was a good game. Not perfect, but very good.

Even the things I don't like are pretty minor.

  • upgrading weapons is kind of tedious. Once you know where the stones are or the bearings, it's kind of a chore to get them.
  • related: once you know where some high value items are, it's really tempting to just beeline for them from the start. But that's kind of tedious. I guess I could just pretend I don't know where the +5 stats talisman is.
  • a lot of side content isn't especially rewarding. The first time you play it's exciting because you don't know what you'll find. But later it's like "nah, this catacomb has a useless ash and boss I'll fight elsewhere". Which is a shame because most of the level design is great.
