I’m having fun! I’v spoiled the game for myself a little (as to future areas and enemies, I still don’t know shit about the lore) so maybe I’m not having the “pure” experience but also it’s not a huge deal for me. I’m in no way good at video games, but I’ve heard that even people who are struggle with Rain World so that makes me feel a little better when I die a whole lot. I do get frustrated sometimes but it’s not a lingering frustration? And it kind of just pushes me to keep going. There have been times when I’ve flung myself at one little challenging part a bunch of times and gotten nowhere, but usually I’ve been able to take a bit of time off and once I come back to it I have the skills to get past it.
I’m still terrible at the combat so I spend
most of the time running from enemies, and I’m still fairly early game despite the time I’ve sunk in already. The art carries me through though and has me wanting to learn more about the lore. It’s also precisely my style — I’m a huge fan of the whole grungy overgrown industrial look, it’s kind of what I go for in a lot of my own stories, so if I ever feel particularly frustrated my brain will go “but you want to keep going to see more of the art, don’t you” lol.
It sounds fun, from the little gameplay I've seen (I try to keep dark on most things I plan to engage with even going years without being spoiled) I think It looks like a my cup of tea game lol I also had seen/heard it is a bit more difficult which always perks my interest. I like challenging games because I find it more engaging.
But I also got a vibe like I did from ico from it which may sound weird but that kind of exploration and puzzle element..
Thank you for the write up, hopefully you'll get to experience more of the art when you get back to it, I think it's got a really nice artstyle too, what drew me to it too ^^
