I've tried about 5 times to get into it and just keep bouncing off.

Sucked in hard on Dead Cell though. So :shrug:

Isaac never really got it's hooks in me. I beat mom once and never felt like going back but I did enjoy the 5 or 6 hours it took to do that. Always hated how that game looked though.

Dead Cells has hooked me far worse because it's just way more fun to play, but at a certain point it's starting to feel like it's wasting my time. It isn't nearly as "random" as something like Issac and after a while starts to feel like it's just making you play a whole game from the beginning over and over. The thing that I find super annoying is that my ability to beat the first boss seems like it's mostly based on whether or not my gear can tank him, because your character can't jump high enough to get over his aoe attack it's basically a battle of attrition that you can lose just because of bad luck. So, I always get to him, half the time I beat him and push on and usually die in the next area, the other half he just kills me because I can't damage him quick enough. It's a frustrating loop. Before that I felt like the game had a really nice progression but I've just stagnated now. Would be really nice to get a new ability or something.

I put points into money rollover and the buy new items in shops. Much better now.

I also feel like I've seen most of what the game has to offer but I tried to move to another game and quit after 5 minutes to do another run...

I'm up to 6000, that definitely helps but sometimes the game just gives you bum gear anyways. I need to get the store refresh item.

And yes, god it's ridiculously addictive. I keep getting annoyed with and turn it right back on an hour later.

You can reset for no punishment. You dont lose starting money. It's annoying and savescum feeling so I just roll past stuff and try to get to a timed room if I get poo poo gear.

Kind of commit to a speedrun(gets you blueprints) or a full exploration prepares you for bosses.

Do you have all the permanent upgrades? I totally looked up the last one wall run because I had so many places to go it would have taken forever to randomly find

it had better music and didn't have as many annoying enemies.

Just follow anywhere you see one then and you will find new places that will murder you. Exploring/killing everything to get as much upgrades is important for health.

I tend to try and get 3 in every upgrade for health the. Specialize hard.

Great weapons you get from bosses or elites will scale on any color so dont be scared to go full purple with some cool traps

the gamefaq for majima everywhere should tell you where he can be found based on your rank, chapter and emails.

also the traffic cone should be moving.

I did the traffic cone earlier, right near Smile Burger. Did you go up to it and press X when it said Check? Seems like a patronising question but I dunno.

So better to go through the sewers instead of the promenade to get to the ramparts then? Those are my only open routes afaik. I should probably try and beat the area below the guy in the jail cell in the sewers to see if that drops something interesting.

Yeah, I got used to the art and music changes but it's been kinda disappointing that every major BOI update makes everything harder across the board.

The new areas you get to will have the next permanent upgrade (more moves like the vine thing) it starts to really go crazy after you get those. You can go to areas in weird orders. Fight other bosses then fight the concierge after! Then you get really powerful and it's great. Theres one elite that kills me every time I get to a certain level (which has been like 3 times) what secrets is he hiding? Will I get to open doors?!? Who knows

Nice. Tbh it sounds like my limited options are more my fault than the games. I'm gonna push more towards full exploration even if it gets me killed than progressing areas for now.

Each permanent upgrade you find will access a new area with a new upgrade.

Yeah. The last one is kind of tricky because you have a LOT of options on where to go. 3 exits on some levels so I finially looked that up out of frustration.

I think I've done enough loving around in God of War. I got the dead Dwarf King armor, and the only step above that would be the Ivaldi's or the Valkyries' but I won't be able to play any videogames tomorrow so I'll beeline the main quest during the weekend and get ready for YaKiwami 2.
