I beat first two bosses in a single run without deaths and reached 3rd biome, thinking hmm this game is easier than expected.
I've been stuck on the 3rd boss for many hours and over 10 deaths now though Sad
The game is super fun and addictive as fuck though so I just keep going at it.

Love this game.

Can't beat second boss (tried 3 times now).

But I'm noticing, the only way to play this is balls to the wall aggression. You get a lot more moneyz that way to buy.

I think it is perfectly balanced. There are in fact checkpoints in this game, they are shortcuts that open up as you progress. If I want to rush the second boss, I'm there in around 10-15 minutes on average, so no, it doesn't take hours to get back.

Your weapons get stronger, OK. You get some progression, OK. But in reality, you learn the mobs, and they become easy over time. Just learn the patterns. Very satisfying.

Also love the atmosphere and lore.

Let's see if it lasts.

I've had the weirdest runs with this game.
On first run I beat the first 2 bosses and reached 3rd biome.
Kept dying at the 3rd boss plenty times and on my last run I went through biomes 3,4, 5 and all the way up to the boss of biome 6 in a single sitting without dying. Died at the boss of biome 6 and called it a night, but damn it's really weird how I'm at the end of the game now and all my deaths except for 2 have been at biome 3.

Don't like the idea of not having the ability to save or have auto save, don't like to lose lot of progress, will wait for them to add save options.

Those motherfuckin drones in the third biome. If you have the wrong weapon you're done. Homing rocket launcher sucks as does that poison globe launcher. Which sucks because i like the DOT effect while im just dodging bullets.

Enjoying it overall, currently in the second area. Minor issues.
Don't like the main characters animations. They remind me of Spiders games which also have these kinda shitty floaty animations that don't feel good

I had one really annoying thing happen and that's that I had to pause a run for a bit so I went into rest mode..
Came back the next day, I'm offline, ok sure, reconnect... but you can't without applying the latest patch first which came out in the meantime!
but an object that you can use to exchange resources which I was saving up for in that run only fucking works when you're online!
But to get online I have to apply the patch which ends my run, making it impossible to use thanks to a fucking hotfix

Had to throw away that farming run basically getting nothing for it because of that shit

Actually more dumb than unlucky, why would you use a translocate sphere with so little health? Laughing

Anyway, the last biome froze up on me in 2 consecutive runs, was about to toss the dual sense at my lg cx, but i persevered, rebooted ps5 in safe mode, rebuilt index and then finished the game Fuck Yeah

Now going on a sunpiece hunt in "NG+".

Finished Ng+ run and got secret ending.
When you get into the flow after a while, the game isn't really that tough, just need to stay on your toes, skip shitty weapons like shotguns and pistols, ignore malignant stuff unless you re literally at the beginning of your run and don't stress :S

Also, don't pick up health modules if you're not full health (since then it increases your health).
And go back to your ship before a boss to sleep if you're not at full health.


True, especially during the start of a run it's a good idea to sweep through all the rooms, then heal up at the ship and afterwards pick up all the health items at full health.

I just finished biome 3. Felt great. Really, really liking this game. If I had a M+KB, it would be a very easy breeze, but on controller it is just the perfect amount of challenge.

evading stuff in this game is more precise on a 360° analog stick compared to WASD and shooting doesnt require much aiming anyway so overall while the mouse aiming would be superior, evading, which is the most important part of a bullet hell game, would be inferior.

M+KB would be a lot easier to dodge, because with that input your awareness is a lot higher, and your positioning even better (set exact angle with mouse, and then 4 direction to move to).

There is no situation, where positioning in a 3d environment works better with a controller.

Game would be super easy with M+KB.

But I love it with controller, just cleared 4th boss on first try (very first boss I killed on the first go, rest took a few tries, usually 2-4)

You can only pause and resume, kinda like "save and exit" in mario. You don't have save slots and you cannot save every where, only to some check points.

So yeah, not what you think.

it's exactly what I though it would be

its a roguelike and that's the only way you can allow saving in a roguelike without breaking the integrity of the design
every roguelike does it like that if they do have saving, because if you add normal saving it stops being a roguelike and just becomes a very short game with overtuned difficulty.

This game is so fucking good. I honestly didn't expect it to be as good as it is. I recently signed up to Boomerang Rentals and have been catching up on the PS5 games I passed up on because of the cost. It's going to be difficult for my next rentals to top this.
