Explanation to Negative Feedback
Difficulty backtracking
This one is what I hate. You put your cursor near the lower section to get the arrow to go back, but no matter how many times you click, the game won’t respond to it. So you have to move the cursor around to find the sweet spot where it will let you backtrack.
Now, there is a map for fast travel, which is kind of a band-aid fix. But just…fix the actual problem.
Too much sound
They either grated on my nerves or just became over-the-top without much rhyme or reason.
Imagine doing your morning routine in the bathroom, standing in one spot, but if you move a little, the floor creaks. And of course, you can’t keep completely still. You’re going to shift your weight from foot to foot, which means the floor’s going to continue its creak. Your going to take a step to the right, left, back.
Creak, creak, creak.
That’s the sound the doors make in this game. And while it’s an intriguing addition, as it adds some context to this old town where things need fixing up, I don’t think the devs understood how many times your cursor may fly over a door.
A lot.
Explanation to Positive Feedback
Well-drawn scenes
I love the hand-drawn sketches they’ve used in different cinematic clips. It’s not your usual HoG way, in which others tend to use cinematic with slightly swaying characters and lip syncing that doesn’t quite match up to the words coming out of their mouth.
Not saying that’s a bad thing, but it’s consistent with damn near every HoG.
