Thanks for trying the game out, I appreciate the video and the feedback. Feedback from an inexperienced player is always valuable.

Maybe there ought to be some easier combat before I toss the player into those combat encounters maybe, I noticed you didn't realise that the spear enemies lead you and you need to throw their aim off for example.
The player being able to walk forward, trigger checkpoints and then forgetting to save after killing all the enemies can also be a bit of  a problem, maybe implementing a quicksave button and teaching it in the tutorial will be enough to solve that.

To top it all off I had a sinking feeling that I wasn't going the right way

If the game lets you go somewhere you're either progressing the level or finding a secret, there's no wrong way to go.

Thanks again for the video, sorry the game was stressful.
