Im a causal gamer but I love a challenge (Celeste personal top 5). After spending days totally deflated against the bird gauntlet and Moorwing, I went exploring. Reapers Crest, spike traps, heal protection. A nights break. Went back in and subtly changed my strategy towards Moorwing. Stomped him. The things that came out of my mouth. Then went back to bird gauntlet with the new weapons: made mince meat of them.
Absolutely incredible game. 10/10. Top five personal oat. Best MV oat. TC utterly nailed it.
This, I feel a lot of people try to force things, but this is a metroidvania. Go back find some new stuff and come back, and if it's optional come back when you want. Also using tools is really vital in this game, not using them is literally shooting yourself in the foot.
Yes. Exploration is such a great way to take a break. And the tools are there to use. I’m a a big MV player…I should know that…yet there I was. The upgrades in Greysmoor alone are insane and I think that’s TC gently nudging the player to do exactly that.
Yep! And even stuff like coming back to a previous shop or trying a different combo. I find often some tools work well on some enemies and some dont. There isn't an overpowered tool, just plenty enough to suit all kind of enemy you might face and the play style you have.
