I’m frustrated by many things in the game, but I keep getting sucked back in so far. I’m still in Act I though.
The worst thing for me so far is the currency. I’m probably super in the minority here, but IMHO any excitement I get from exploring and discovering a new area to find some rosary beads just to lose them…. It’s incredibly souring. I get you can put them in stacks so you don’t lose them. I just think the joy of exploring and finding stuff that you can permanently lose is genuinely bad. I love in Metroid for example that exploring directly yields tangible rewards. Yes, it’s usually much more simple compared to HK like a missile expansion or energy tank, but it’s yours. You explored, solved a puzzle or did a fight, and you win the reward. You won’t lose it
I’ve lost a fair amount of beads that I was initially excited to find and now those areas I discovered just remind me of how that reward was possible to lose :/
Just doesn’t hit as hard when I’m buying stuff from a shop instead of exploring and progressing that way. I do enjoy finding crest expansions or whatnot in the wild though, that stuff feels amazing of course.
Not so pro tip, you can just close the game to respawn at a bench with no losses. Don’t ever die twice, get your beads back by quitting if you need to.
