Disregarding lack of time, that is. Is there any particular mechanic you were not fond of? Was a game too difficult for you? Was it the overall enjoyment of the game?

Pic totally unrelated :]

Lords of the Fallen (remake) just felt a little too floaty to me. I might have ended up liking the game if I gave it more of a shot, but the very first boss was enough for me already. Maybe I'll get back to it at some point, but I doubt it

That's like getting only the first ending in Hollow Knight and never awakening the Dream Nail. There's some pretty significant stuff left...

Also, I don't really blame you. I found Act 2 challenging, and it just got harder from there. Act 3 was brutal.

Some things you missed out on:

  • three gauntlets back to back with no bench
  • at least 8 boss fights, including...
  • possibly the hardest boss fight in the game
  • the other hardest boss fight in the game
  • possibly several optional areas plus at least three[1] definitely missed areas -- and the bosses/quests/challenges associated with them
  • at least one crest
  • at least one movement ability

...among other things.

[1]: Not sure on the exact count on further reflection; may be more depending on how you count areas.
