No offense to The Chinese Room, the team is incredibly talented and I just don't think they've found the right project to fully leverage it. It feels like Still Wakes the Deep to TCR is what Bastion was to Supergiant. Just a taste of what they can do. I'm just here waiting for TCR's Hades

It compounds quick. Learning a boss is slowed to a crawl by runbacks. You can't tell if your experimental setup is better or worse or if it works at all. You missed a powerful item. And you just burned through your entire shard supply trying. Beat a boss in a few tries? Great! Got stuck? Die, loser.

Damage being hidden makes it very hard to evaluate the effectiveness of crests/tools. Extending threadstorm is a hidden mechanic for some reason. Quick sling doesn't work with multiple tools. No pity system for finding missed secrets. A lot of poor communication leading to unnecessary frustration.

That being said, team cherry knows what they're doing, which makes issues with the game super confusing. I still don't know what TC's intended experience with the birdhouse is but it's bad. Many of the shard alcoves are above spike pits. The longer you get stuck on a boss, the worse a runback feels.

Yeah, sure. Why not.

This is in conjunction with the fact that there are only 3 weapons with a higher faith scaling than C. I know Revenant with a big stick is a meme, but honestly half the time it's the only thing the game will give me.
