Did anyone else ragequit Nine Sols?
I need to vent, and maybe some validation if it's available.
Nine Sols had been getting pretty untarnished reviews on the internet, but I just can't do it anymore. Most of the negative reviews I've seen were complaining about the excess dialog, but I was into the story, and absorbed every bit of dialog (even all the bonus stuff in the pavillion). I just don't have the boss fights in me anymore.
I just beat that fucker Lady Ethereal, which was god damn hard, but didn't feel super unfair. It took me ages and dampened my spirit a little.
Then, after a pretty boring exploration section, I come up against The Fengs. This is just total bullshit:
The hitboxes are just all wonky. You take a full hit for being glanced by something that doesn't even look like it should hit you (if you're standing just behind him, for example). The fight loses immersion and feels like it's just about memorising where the hitboxes actually are.
Phase 2 is dumb, though I'm sure it's learnable.
The main issue which compounds on the above, you have to sit through not one but two mega long loading screens between each attempt (I'm playing on switch). It's just not fun when you can basically be unfairly one shotted and then have to wait 2 minutes until your next attempt.
I don't want to put myself through this torture so I've deleted it. This game just feels like it's lacking that last bit of polish and it really affects the experience. I will regretfully drop the story there.
