If this game were focused only on securing Objects of Power I'd still enjoy it.

I’m gonna spend today trying to complete the field training shyt so I can get the shield ability...I tried a few times the other day and fell short of the mark...didn’t realize you’d gain a power for completing it til I watched a vid this morning

I didn't invest a lot into shield because the game encourages movement and it slows you down to use shield its weird.

the shield was clutch in the certain situations... I would use it if I’m low on health. And walk over to health for the recharge. Definitely clutch when I’m fighting that one invisible nikka too.

Finally beat it after starting it about a year ago. Story was hard to get back into and wasn't sure if I was confused bc I forgot shyt or bc it was supposed to be confusing. Gameplay is fun overall but got tedious after a while. Visuals are dope as hell and the Oldest House was well designed. Number one issue tho is how much it stutters coming in and out of menus and when theres a lot happening on screen. I'm sure thats fixed on the PS5 version tho.

ya it is...I saw flashes of stuttering when I played it in graphics mode at 30 fps...game plays much better at 60 and still looks great

The shield is the one power in the game that feels worthless until you upgrade it. It becomes semi-useful when it's strong enough to withstand explosions and you unlock its offensive abilities as well.

That's prolly it, I only made it to the 2nd shield damage upgrade and it still wasn't hitting hard enough for me.

First thing I upgraded was the Throw. Then Health. Shield wasn’t a priority for me until the last third of the game. I didn’t balance my stats. I didn’t put a single stat into Punch. My Jesse had no hands :flabbynsick:

Roulette table gives you something nice if you figure out the puzzle
