Game crashed to home screen.
And actually, I didn't lose EVERYTHING. The permanent stuff I obtained on that run still remains, so it wasn't that bad, other than the fact that it wasn't my fault my run ended.
I did and it keeps taking me to the pit that drops me down to the first boss.
Hmm maybe it's the triangle rooms to get to it. It's def a diff room
Somehow I went on a three hour run unintentionally. Managed to make it to the first boss with very little health and died. Game is butt-clenching tense, but it's soooo good to weave through enemy projectiles.
i would've guessed going back to sleep / healing would also maybe respawn enemies, but not reset the map, maybe?
I'm thinking of swapping the Dash and Melee buttons since I use Dash far more and that's usually where my thumb rests.
That would be major in these early runs of getting used to the rooms, enemies and the like. Really good spot if that is the case 👍
Thank god. Yeah, take the side paths. Wasted like 30 minutes trying to figure out where tf to go taking main doors.
yooo just beat the first boss. Had a shotgun with a the laser shot, so I didn't really need to be too close to it to damage it. Liking it so far, especially the haptics.
Only played it for half an hour or so but I can tell I'm going to have to get a lot better at reading the map and the warning ring around Selene.
Made it to the last phase of the first boss, got killed because I didn't dodge one single projectile.
Goodnight, everyone.
Goodnight, everyone.
Don't think that's right. If you die in a run you'll respawn at the reconstructor but it only applies to that run. If your PS5 crashes then it's back to the beginning.
Ok, so feeling out the second biome as I start to think about the systems more and some of the enemy encounters, I feel like I understand how I want to approach the game. Just thinking about getting better is really exciting. The game is very deliberate in what it does, it really goes in on rewarding the player for playing well.
This is a super cool game.

Been playing a few hours and can't even locate the shadow broadcast lmao. Having a blast though
Is he Elajjaz? Chat was trashing the game because it was too easy, i also was confused because everyone kept saying the game is hard.
So I'm hearing the narrative progression and the storytelling isn't as great as Hades. I wouldn't be surprised, Greg Kasavin and the feam had to create a whole new system to manage that with the deathloop. This is also Housemarque's first narrative heavy game. Anyone else near or finished the endgame share or disagree with this opinion?
Three hours to make it to the first boss?? And the game only saves if you beat a boss? Shit this is gonna be tough. I rarely get to have a gaming session longer than an hour and a half.
Played for about 5 hours. First boss took me 3 tries to beat, second boss I beat on my first encounter but the third area sent me back to a new cycle.
What a great game honestly having a blast with it. It's just simply fun to play

Woke up at 2 am. Was gonna go back to sleep but wanted to try this out for 15 minutes or so. Wound up playing 3 hours lmao. Beat the first boss on my first try (with help from a little astronaut) but got the breaks beaten off me by a sentient.
This shit's good.
This shit's good.
Yes I said that I wouldnt pay full price for the game but the lack of something new to okay in a long long time made jump in...
Played for 2 hours and honestly don't know what to say...
Game is interesting but I have to say that I am not blow away by this...
Died 4 or 5 times and I think I didn't make much progress.
Theres things I didn't understand yet but others I think I get it.
I didn't liked the feel of the gunplay yet.
The guns ( at least the 2 ones I tried) felt a little weaker and without that feeling of punch.
Visually the game is interesting but for me, at least in the first biome, it really is not impressive at all.
I will play much more but I think I need a better headphone to enjoy more the audio work.
I am not liking very much of the gun sounds.
I don't know, until now, I feel mixed reactions, I hope it gets better for me when I get used with the flow of the game and fully understand all the mechanics.

You're looking for a door with something like a circle above it. Just watched VoD of a stream from yesterday and they were just running past everything to get to the door to the next biome.
EDIT: I see you found it.
I streamed the game for 2.5 hours tonight, and it was exactly what I imagined it would be. Fantastic game so far.
I only died twice. Once, at the start, when you're "supposed to," and the second time was in the second biome, when i went into a secret room and was killed by a crazy enemy with a huge health bar.
I managed to beat the first boss on my first run, but a lot of that was because I spent so much time in that biome collecting everything, upgrading my health (my extended health bar was almost as large as my default health bar lol), and i lucked out with a parasite that saved me from dying twice during the boss fight, since it restored health when i was low health.
I had to force myself to take a break, because I would have kept playing all night. I'm looking forward to diving back in later today. I'm so glad Housemarque was given the opportunity to really show off what they could do. I can definitely see myself playing this game for a long time. Excellent controls, Dual Sense support, audio, atmosphere, visuals, intriguing narrative, it's really a total package game, that's for sure.
I haven't found it too difficult, but it's certainly hard. I can see that it rewards engaging with the systems and just getting better at reading enemy tells and patterns, as well as just being more aware of your own position, movement, and timing of your offensive and defensive abilities. I had no doubt Housemarque was going to deliver, but, man, they nailed it. We'll see how I feel after I spend the whole weekend with the game, but it's a winner for me so far.

But sometimes the door with the circle above it takes you to biome 2 instead of biome 3. It hasn't been consistent with opening it up to the latest biome.
Oh I wasn't actually aware you can skip to the latest - I just assumed the door would take you to biome 2 and then you'd need to find the next door for biome 3.
It's very different. Hades is very much based on conversations between characters with constant dialogue windows. This is more lore-based and cryptic.I really like it because I'm a sucker for that kind of dark cosmic horror sci-fi and environmental storytelling.
There are always two "doors with a circle above" to be found in every run on Overgrown Ruins, and you'll know which is the right one the moment you enter it, it's just random which one turns up first.
Tanked a shield hit ); You are meant to move back, dash and then jump-dash over it, but alas I only got like 5 hours sleep cause this game is so good
Only way is to die! Which, if you've managed to make it to the third biome on your first run, is actually quite unlikely to happen now, I assume you're massively powered up by now?
