• Sentiments

  • I really wanted to love this game, but I found it tedious and discouraging rather than challenging.
  • I appreciate the artwork and music in the game, as they are well done and enjoyable.
  • The long hikes back to bosses after dying feel frustrating and unnecessary, making the experience tedious.
  • The map is unhelpful, as it only shows the general outer shape of rooms rather than detailed information about the labyrinth.
  • The distance between checkpoints and fast travel stations is too far from interesting parts of the map, which adds to the frustration.
  • The game's 'forge your own path' mechanic feels misleading, as many areas are blocked off, making exploration feel restrictive.
  • I felt stuck in a situation where I was in an area I wasn't supposed to be in, with no clear way out, which was frustrating and poorly designed.
  • The pitch-dark maze section without a lantern felt unfair and tedious, requiring blind jumps and resetting progress upon failure.
  • I kept playing despite the frustrations because I genuinely wanted to like the game and hoped it would improve.
  • The game's mechanics of encouraging players to return to areas later are understandable, but they feel poorly executed when everything feels like a dead end.

  • I remember having good fun with this game during a time when I was extremely depressed and obsessed with games, but that was years ago.
  • Now that I can view games with a more neutral perspective, I can safely say that this is a bad game.
  • The map design is intentionally frustrating, as it forces players to lose health before most boss fights.
  • The healing system feels punishing and adds unnecessary difficulty to the gameplay.
  • Respawning far away from boss arenas after dying is frustrating, as it requires traversing enemy-infested areas and platforming sequences repeatedly.
  • The lack of frequent benches across the map makes it difficult to keep trying after dying, adding to the frustration.
  • The game's design encourages a conservative playstyle, as taking risks often leads to death and losing progress.
  • The game is definitely not for everyone, as its design choices can feel overly punishing and frustrating.

  • I find the start of the game to be very slow, which makes it hard for me to recommend it to others.
  • I only kept playing because of the overwhelming reviews claiming it is the best game of all time, despite my initial reservations.
  • I acknowledge that the game is very well made, but I struggle to understand how a 2D game is considered the greatest of all time.
  • I experienced some weird difficulty spikes, especially since I chose not to use the wiki for help, which made the game frustrating at times.
  • I prefer playing games without exploring every little detail, but this approach punished me when I didn't find a crucial nail upgrade until 18 hours in.
  • I am very disappointed with the map design, as it doesn't show unexplored items, rooms, or areas, making navigation frustrating.
  • I find the process of learning the lore tedious, as dream-nailing every enemy for just one line of story feels like too much effort for little reward.
