the art, the story and the combat are incredible, but the exploration is basically the main part of the game and it's almost unbearable. really? manual save? If I'm playing the new prince of persia I expect at least an auto save, yk? to save those 5 hours lost in trying to get back where you were? and the quick travel is basically useless except for some times doing the main mission where the next mission would be in the opposite part of the map just to make you walk a bit, since you never do in this game, yk?
Also getting to the main objectives is ridiculously hard, you find a way? but that's the wrong way!! thats how you come out of the puzzle! you have to redo all the things you've just done to go through all the long way to get back there without dying or you'll loose all the progress you've done!! it makes no sense, it's just annoying.
the mobs are so interesting but you can't expect me to go through a 5 wave of elite enemies just to accidentally go the wrong way, come back and have to do it again because of the room reset. Isn't this supposed to be new?? it has all the major issues the first ones had but this time is worse and completely on purpose.
It's not even about the game being too difficult, it's really not, it's just unbearable and extremely overwhelming (at least for me), I loved it so far but I'm afraid I won't finish it, I don't have the time for redoing the same shit 8 times just because a single bullet of venom or fire hit me and now it will never stop, also while fighting another 3 enemies, dodging spikes on tiny time platforms, doing a puzzle and a quick time event. I'm sorry this is just too much.
If I wanted the issues of a 90s game I would play a game from the 90s.
