I picked this up yesterday evening, although I never saw Greywarrens LTTP until after I bought it, just a nice coincidence.
And this game is gonna give me a heart attack
No, I have not finished (So don't spoil anything I haven't spoken about in this OP), but I've done quite a bit, with the exception of anything in dark bramble or anything under the waters of the Water planet.
Because Dark Bramble is god damn fucking terrifying.
I realized there would be at least 1 angler fish in there from what I could gather from the sunless city, and that they were blind, and I went in fool hardedly, thinking "Pssh, the game hasn't thrown anything at me that was alive yet, it's probably nothing"
As I went in, the last thing I remember from that loop was the jaws of an angler closing on me from behind, myself having not having seen it when I must have gone past it. I made an assumption here that they have no actual models, and you'd just have the jaw close down from behind if you were loud. I later found out I was very wrong.
I went back a bit later, this time refusing to boost, and drifting. My heart beating like a jack hammer this time.
It wasn't long before I drifted near one. My speed appeared to be slowing. I wondered what would happen if I pressed the match velocity button, surely that wouldn't be loud?
IT TURNED AROUND SO FUCKING FAST
In both the bramble, and the water planet, your vision is obscured massively.
You can barely see in front of you.
You feel vulnerable from ALL sides.
And it triggers thalassophobia big time.
I don't have a single problem with the rest of the game.
I went back a third time, but that time I chickened out instantly and meditated. I can't do it. Can't go back, won't go back.
I finished Half Life Alyx earlier this year without a single problem. I thought the days when a video game could scare me were over.
God, was I wrong.
This all aside, I fucking love this game.
But I'm probably not gonna finish it at this rate.
Because I've grown to anxious to play, I've been looking up what was inside the bramble and at the bottom of the ocean (I actually already knew how to get to the bottom of the sea before I got this game), so now I know what lies in wait for me there if I grow the strength. I got slightly spoiled on a few other things too, like how the guy on ember reacts shortly before the end of the cycle, and how to get in the twin planets teleporter. (Attempting to use it as I write this thread actually) Lucky, I'm still pretty clueless about a bunch of other end game stuff.
I REALLY love the semi realistic space flight mechanics.
Landing my shuttle on the cannon orbiting the water planet was a thrill.
All speed is relative.
I'd like a full blown open world space game with these mechanics, god they're so fun.
