  I’ve gotta remember what those ghosts are.

  I’ve slowly acclimated to Soulslikes since Tunic, and a common theme is that they make you think you need to be pressing more buttons, when they’re often teaching specialized bits of patience. In Tunic’s case, a lot of people expend their stamina too quickly.

  Still don’t like FromSoft’s games

    i thought that too, and tried studying their movements, but they attacked faster than i could even press the button.

  I thought the reward for the puzzles was not good enough, either. When you play Outer Wilds, you figure things out and unlock a wonderful story. When you play Tunic, you (eventually) figure things out and get a bad ending for a game that barely reveals anything, story-wise.

    hey i learned to read the language in fez fluently. this is more like they took the wrong lesson from double fines Hack’n’Slash, where the glyphs are absolutely everywhere and look so much alike that the easiest way to decipher them is to replace the font.

  Understandable. It got pretty frustrating for me too at various points. I’m kinda bad at this kind of combat in general. Most of what motivates me to push through it in games like Dark Souls or Tunic is being interested in the world. But sometimes not even that’s enough.

    it’s especially wild in a cutesy game like tunic where it just bodies you ten minutes in. it made me feel like i had been tricked.

      Try playing Environmental Station Alpha. Super cutesy robot, absolutely unfair difficulty for a Metroidvania. Which is a shame, because there’s an interesting story and gameplay buried in that difficulty.

      I didn’t have too much trouble up until the first real boss. Thankfully there was a save point pretty close by so I just threw myself at it more times than I’d like to admit.

        The game throws big bosses at you at a time when you won’t have range weapons, and expects you to dodge these big sweeping attacks that would be more appropriate fighting with ranged weapons. And by the time you get a ranged weapon, it’s too late, and they’ve raised the stakes again for future bosses to the point that having a ranged weapon isn’t even an advantage.

        I was forced to reduce the difficulty just for the bosses. All of the other enemies were mostly fine.

  I switched that to easy mode at one of the mid game bosses, and I still struggled. The combat is way too tough for what it is.
