2 picks for me: Stardew Valley, most boring shit ever, I don’t see the appeal, seriously how the hell did that thing sold 20 million copies?

And Witcher 3, I own that game since 2019 and I regret buying it, funny thing is that I’ve finished Dragon Age 1 and 2, which are kinda same genre but I actually enjoyed those games. I guess the old BioWare sauce carried those games unlike Witcher where there’s nothing to enjoy in its massive pointless world.

    I’d question whether hollow knight is really a skill issue on your part.

    I’ve done the ‘path of pain’ and I still don’t understand why people love the game so much.

    It has solid combat, true, but some of the fundamental game mechanics (like save points and the map system) are designed to pad the game time and frustrate the player. Its poor design and the fact they weren’t called out on it is disappointing.

    Making a save point 40 seconds from a difficult boss fight doesn’t make me or any player git gud. It’s needlessly frustrating.

      Yeah I like difficult games but Hollow Knight is just boring and wastes a lot of your time, so I never ended up finishing it. It’s a shame because I probably would like it a lot more if it didn’t waste so much of your time
