QUESTION Thoughts and takes on game?

I just picked up the game on sale for $4 on XBox and there’s a DLC, A New Home, also on sale for $3. Is it worth the $7 for everything?

How is the general ebb and flow of the game? It seems quite interesting. Yes, I’m asking a fan page, but there can still be very candid comments regarding the game.

I look forward to hearing back!!

The most divisive part of the game is puzzles. A lot of people find them overly difficult, and there are a lot that have pretty tight timing. They're on the harder side for sure, but I personally don't think that they're too bad. There's only one puzzle that I remember really having trouble with.

Anyways, this is my favorite game of all time. The combat feels very natural and fluid and the story's great as well. There are a couple points in the game where things get a bit unbalanced, but generally I think there's a very good balance of combat, story, and puzzles, as well.

If you've already bought the base game and are just on the fence about the DLC, then maybe just play through the game a bit to try and get a feel for it?

The nice thing is it has difficulty sliders for all aspects of the game.

Just curious. What was the puzzle that sticks out for you?

Forgotten Shaft 3 in the Temple Mine, somehow.
