Clunky controls, lots of backtracking, unfair deaths, people praise exploring, but 80% you don't find anything interesting, you just go through repetitive locations
The lack of invincibility frames after taking a hit or falling was really frustrating. Most Souls-like games give you ways to grind if you run into a part you just can’t get past, but this one didn’t feel as forgiving. On top of that, the story was too dull to motivate me to push through the combat. Got to Lady Ethereal and dropped the game
The power went out and when I launched the game my saves stopped working. 20 hours wasted. I hate games which force only one save and don't implement proper save backup system
The game feels significantly overrated. I didn't enjoy the game at all. Major flaws of the game:
- Limited Enemy Variety: The lack of diverse enemy types makes the gameplay feel repetitive and monotonous over time.
- Poor Companion AI: The companions are really dumb, frequently rushing into enemies and getting incapacitated
- Inadequate Checkpoint Placement, sometimes before the cutscene or unskipable dialogue
Сильно переоцененная игра. Единственное, что сделано хорошо - атмосфера зоны отчуждения. Но играть все равно не приятно, т.к. все остальное сделано плохо. Куча багов, скучный сюжет и диалоги, однообразные побочные задания отсутствие какой-либо постановки. Стрельба сильно раздражает, когда ты противника не видишь из-за текстур кустов или деревьев, а он тебя видит. Постоянно приходится перезагружаться, т.к. противники часто убивают с одного выстрела.
One of my favorite games ever. The best thing in this game for me was vast amount of abilities that can be used for different situations in a creative way
The game seems to be really overrated. Everything in this game is mediocre. Combat is ok, but nothing special. Cutscenes are just one image with some text, and there is no much story in game. Design of enemies and locations is very unoriginal and they look kinda the same
I think the game is only for those who like old school gameplay in every sense. I felt discomfortable that I can't run or dodge attacks, while there are some enemies who can cover half of the screen with their attck
The game looks beautiful, but I felt bored. I liked solving puzzles in Limbo, previous game of the developer, but in this game I didn't enjoy it so much
First 70% of game was fun, but then starting from burial grounds the game becomes annoying, not difficult in interesting way, just annoying. I felt very disappointed that they take away your upgrades, making all your time spent on leveling up pointless. All enemies 2 shot you forcing to replay tedious parts. Arena at the end of cathedral pissed me off, they just spam you with large groups of enemies, and if some enemies got lucky to hit you twice you have to replay all the waves from the beginning. I dropped the game
The game gets repetitive really quickly. The FIrst-floor run is always the same, and there is nothing like NPC dialogues after death to keep you interested. Also, the progression goes too slow.

The screenshots looked interesting and the first couple of hours were fun to play. But the more you play, the more disappointed and bored you become. There are some very silly things about game design. For example, you cannot save when you exit the game. Thus, if the computer or game crashes, you have to start a new run, so stupid. In Hades or DeadCells, you always continue from where you left off last time. One more thing: all run are quite the same, because the maps almost don't change. Thus you play over and over with the same maps and the same enemies. Also, there are only a couple of repetitive dialogues with NPCs, which makes the world seem empty. Don't waste time playing this game, there are tons of the better roguelikes to play: Hades, DeadCells, Children of Morta, Moonlighter and so on. Perhaps in the future the developers will fix these problems and add some content, but the game is mediocre right now.
The game was a complete disappointment for me, especially after the amazing Steamworld Heist. All battles start to be annoying after one hour, because they are all the same, and you can't avoid battles and they occur every 2 minutes. All maps are narrow corridors without anything interesting, and they also get boring after 30% of the game.
The game is ok if you want to spend about 5 hours, but there are tons of better games to be honest. Spelunky or Terraria are better games in similar jenres
