this game can get in the bin, failed at the above so decided to go back to Mount Fay, made it to the first bench

The benches are reasonably generous there - think there’s maybe 3 or 4 by the time you get to the top? Just a case of plugging away till you eventually get to the next one. You’ll get a decent recent eventually

finally got to the top of mount fey, that second bench was an absolute nightmare, the third part only took me 3 attempts...that 2nd bench is a proper test of whether you have the skills to complete this game, spent about 4 hours trying to get one bench one to bench two i reckon
feels like i have completed the game

its funny how you get to a section of the game, takes you ages to get past it then you breeze on for a few hours unlocking all kinds
great game but not for everyone, its a proper test of patience at times
i am finding the lack of fast travel points a bit restricting at the moment, i would love to fast travel back to older areas of the map but they(the fast travels) seems to be getting fewer the more i progress, possibly my only real complaint

Haha yeah - need to find some good grinding spots to keep those shards stocked up! The Architect builds in particular eat through them like nobody’s business

so i am now at the end of act 2, but having read up a little, im going to go back and complete all the other stuff first, 55 hours in so far but after a break, still loving it

Yeah, try to do as much as you can before finishing act 2 - worth looking up what you’re potentially locked out of after a certain point too

bilewater is horrible
i was under the impression nothing was locked if you completed act 2, you could just go back and do everything

You can, to a certain extent. There’s certain optional quests and interactions that you’re locked out of once Act 3 begins. Doesn’t stop you going for 100%, but some of them are a shame to miss out on

the thing is though, you are at the point now where there is no tuning back or away, you know you have to move on and beat it, you've come too far to give up nowThat First Sinner boss is testing my will to live!
Finished the whole game now, not sure about how I feel, game is worth playing for sure, but the difficulty spikes ruin it for me. It gets to a point where it is a chore, and you question if it is actually enjoyable? Still got some areas not explored, mainly because I did not have the Rosaries to buy a Key or something and I just forgot about it later. I love difficult games and I don't do myself any favours by hunting out these 'optional' areas/bosses. 7.5/10 for me

i keep going back to it but as you mentioned, some of the difficulty spikes are insane, they don't seem paced properly, i can understand a game getting harder and harder as you go along, but it seems to have moments in the middle which just dont seem to fit
i'm still at the end of act 2 but havent really played it a lot in the past month, it just seems like a bit of a chore sometimes
