I really wish i could like this game, as it hits my interests really well, but i have been playing it for 6+ hours straight, 2 of which i have just been bashing my head against the ice place, due to the Hunter and the robots appearing constantly. I figured out a very sketchy way to beat the hunter by breaking him, but by that time, the robots show up and due to my items being in the wrong hands, i lose to them.
I have no idea how to have them leave me alone permanently in a timeline/run/save, which i need to in order for me to be able progress to an ending. Otherwise i am forced to grind souls to get a tiny bit stronger, which i am willing to do, BUT the hunter just comes in every fight to ruin my fun. And the stat ups you get from using the souls feel like they dont even matter in the slightest, at least in my experience. Either i am too stupid for this game to get a single ending, or this game is too hard for my casual idiotic mind.
I used to love this, and i want to love this, but i cannot force myself to. I have been out skilled and out patienced by a game I really wanted to like, which is genuinely really sad to me, since I really liked this game's earlier versions a lot (to the point where i put in even more than the 6+ hours i put in this version)
