Comment on Just wanted to share a screenshot and a little story

The problem might be that they are not as tight as Souls/DD would be. I’m playing right now and just got out of a pretty good boss fight, but again, the controls can be VERY iffy at times.
That’s been my takeaway the whole time, basically. The bones are truly there, but the gameplay isn’t as tight as I would like at all. For example, when I go to use the Double Jump skill you can unlock, it takes 3 presses of my X button to actually get it to go, which isn’t ideal. Alongside that, the downward momentum your character has from falling seems to balance out the momentum from the double jump which makes it feel like you didn’t get as much height as you would expect from such a skill.
All in all, it’s a great game, with very good bones, but definitely has a lot of general improvements that would make it a much more enjoyable experience all around!

I see. Since it’s just released, maybe in half a year this will have been patched.

It’s been getting improvements here and there as the days go by. Just earlier there was a 1.9GB update that fixed some issues like having to pick up the ore that’s dropped from mining. It goes straight into your inventory now instead of having to find the ore chunk that came out of the recently mined rock (sometimes they could fly off the face of the cliff you were mining on, which obviously isn’t ideal)!

I’ve played it since day zero, I’ve done almost no story…just wandered aimlessly exploring and solving puzzles. It’s the most fun I’ve had in ages. If you’ve any doubt, wait for it to go on sale, but do yourself a favor and grab it eventually.

There’s so many different puzzles to do that I forget how to do some of them sometimes! haha
