Comment on I finished Mina the Hollower 100%! (Plus short review)
popcar2@piefed.ca 7 hours agoHonestly kinda surprised that you disliked it, Orrery is one of my favorite areas and the black holes didn’t give me much trouble. The trinket you get from the race ghost made the platforming sections way easier for me.
As for the manor, it’s not my favorite area but I still enjoyed it. It gets hard, no doubt. Those moustraps hurt a lot, but I never found it annoying. In fact, I kinda liked the Hyrule castle-esque massive dungeon they had going on, it was a big culmination of all these different mechanics you went through.
I kinda get what you mean by the final boss though. He was alright but there are tons of better bosses. I’m still kinda surprised there would be people that didn’t like the Orrery though, it’s one of the most creative levels ever.

This is what I mean with Wallower’s, they simply weren’t annoying for me because I practically skipped the sections where they were relevant. Much of the game past finding Wallower’s is like this.
Also I did not complete the racing ghosts challenge, but looking at the trinket; it is yet another trinket that should just be an upgrade you can’t miss (the movement is not good enough to warrant the race in the first place, let alone one of the best movement upgrades being tied behind it). Wallower’s should be an upgrade, Iron Lung should be an upgrade, like half the trinkets should either be upgrades or should be baked into other trinkets.
I think the game is a solid 7/7.5 out of 10 — certainly a platform for the devs to push off of. MtH2 might be god tier, they certainly have the potential.

Hard disagree, honestly. A lot of trinkets are very powerful and let you break the game which make great rewards for exploration and finishing side content. There are a lot of very powerful trinkets that by the end game you can have a vastly different builds, I don’t think they should be base abilities. Stacking trinkets is part of the whole fun.

Wallower’s quite literally breaks over half the game’s platforming sections. Either it, and these other trinkets, shouldn’t be in the game of the devs didn’t know what they were doing.
