      Don’t hear that take very often. Almost everyone is too busy glazing it. I feel that way about Sea of Stars.

      What didn’t work for you in Clair Obscur?

        the act 1 finale twist was painfully telegraphed and i just wasn’t feeling the new guy in act 2.

        what got me to drop the game though was doing one of those extremely vertical platforming challenges and falling off on the very last jump. twice in a row. i know there’s only cosmetics for finishing it but the platforming was so aggressively shitty that the prospect of having to do any more of it was enough to just move on.

          I am blessed enough to love those things. A friend of mine who originally recommended the game hated those as well. They are made to be frustrating, made to be hated. After all, "you’re the second human to have ever completed this challenge“ I did everything on the first try while it took my friend 3 hours to do the tower of randomly placed objects.

          I felt the same with the new guy, but it got a lot better when his flaws came out.
