Really? The big beam thing? That kept twatting me. Although on hindsight I was thinking could I just perhaps duck behind one of the large pipes? The wee blobs kept KO'ing my doggy  There's two things it can do, one is 3-4 short lightning blasts which are easily dodgeable because it does a little blink effect and a little "ding" noise before it fires, so you can just dodge on the sound effect. The other one is the loooong beam, which as long as you are at the edge of one of the 4 raised quarters of the arena you can walk on, if you roll the start then just strafe it'll stop before you run out of strafing space. |

I think this game is too hard for me. Just don't have the patience to keep retrying sections and it's already getting on my tits. Annoying as I quite like the core gameplay.

Starting to get slightly annoyed by harder mobs spawning repeatedly (that horn is starting to piss me off), barely any time for breather or explore without another group of enemies appearing from nowhere.
Otherwise I'm still enjoying this, though did hit a wall yesterday and couldn't progress through the next area. Will come back to it.

My Crusader guy uses 2 shotguns. Anything comes close to me they regret it. For any puzzle or safe you find, I'm assuming the missing item or solution is within the same level?

I think this game is too hard for me. Just don't have the patience to keep retrying sections and it's already getting on my tits. Annoying as I quite like the core gameplay. I don’t know if the second one does this but….. in the first one it had procedurally generated difficulty which locked at the level you are when you first enter an area plus one and, I think, it mostly takes the level from your highest bit of gear. So if you have a +6 gun and +1 armour, the enemies are going to be +7 and fuck you up if they hit you. I think it’s to force you to level your gear up evenly. it also means you can enter a level, lock its difficulty, leave, grind for a bit and come back and stomp it into dust. So do that. |

I do feel rather squishy. Thanks for the heads up. I might venture back to base. |

I may have fucked myself a bit if it does that in this one as one of my guns is levelled a lot more than the other. I just rerolled my world and got put in the other campaign start and got a rather tasty bow from a puzzle.

OK so managed to get the Hatchery done. I must have been tired last night as I blitzed through it. I now have a seeker key or something.

Got some really fantastic weapons found from completing a side quest or crafting boss weapons. A sub machine gun that chains lightning, a staff that can cast a slow AOE, I won't even mention what the Nightweavers boss weapon is but....its worth it

Had two boss battles, found both incredibly annoying, and the performance in, er, performance mode went into single digits at times. Now at the third boss, not sure I can be arsed. I like the idea of the game and the basic exploration, but the clunky boss battles, all of which so far have been attrition-focused, are ruining the game for me.  |

No armour upgrading in this one, just weapons.
The rest is about right though. You have a gear level that seems to be a mix of your weapon levels and new areas roll at one above it. Protip for when you enter a new hub area is to find all the exits to roll the level of those areas, then upgrade your gear a bit.

Also the boss battles in this are almost universally fucking wank. The first game's one's with all the adds were a bit generic but these are just shit versions of souls bosses that don't work very well because any time you need to run away from them you can't fucking see them, and nobody told the developers that having attacks flying in from off screen with no tell sucks ass.

The cube one is one of the worst bosses I can think of in recent memory. And yeah, everything else relies on there being too much stuff to shoot and your run speed is just really slow which makes anything apart from diving around with light armour pretty bad.
The rest of the game's a lot more fun now I've gotten some better weapons though.

Wait, it scales the level to when you first enter it? I think the last time I’ve seen that was in Oblivion. Oh dear.

Yeah, I’m power level 15 but the labyrinth is 10 for example.

Is there a definitive end to adventure mode? I just beat the Nightweaver again but it doesn't seem to end or there's no definitive exit point from what I can gather. Guess it's something you just keep open until you decide to reroll? Was cool though, got entirely new bosses, items, weapons and questlines out of doing it.

I think you just re-roll. You can get different versions of any world you have beaten in Story mode.

Making some decent progress in this now, in some cathedral thing with angel like enemies. Only had 2 bosses that annoyed me so far and that was the cube thing in the maze and nightweaver.
The bow is fantastic as long as you can hit your shots, bad news if you miss 2 in a row though.

Had a pretty unique interaction which might hint at some of the hidden secrets in the game depending on the campaign you have and gear you've owned I encountered the Huntress asleep and was going to start the fight by using my Dreamcatcher staff to do the charged attack which is an AOE that casts slow. Only by doing that, the character hovered the staff over the Huntress and got some unique material called the HUntress Dream. I don't know if that happens for every melee weapon or if it's just unique to the Dreamatcher but was pretty amazed. I thought it was a component for a new mod or boss weapon to craft back at the hub but it's not. I'm not gonna look up what it is just now, I'd rather it be revealed naturally but yeah, completely unexpected. Hope it winds up as something good at least I'm actually at a point where its the beginning of the campaign for me really and I can't imagine using any other gun other than my chain electric sidearm. It absolutely melts groups of enemies and still gives them big burst shock damage on top of it |

I swallowed my pride and rerolled the campaign at the "survivor" difficulty, and it's a much better game (for me) that way.
I think the problem on the higher difficulty for me was that I leveled too fast (used a ring, went back to checkpoints regularly), but my gear did not keep up. I made such puny damage against the world boss, it was just an exercise in frustration. I did not help that I am not very good at these games and need to brute force them, mind...

Had a nice surprise earlier that I didn't know was in the game. Got a 2nd archetype unlocked so you get skills from both, currently got handler as second but think hunter will support my bow using better . Flying through this now though but I'm sure there is a roadblock coming. Some of the environments really are stunning though, the cathedral one especially |

FWIW I think this is more the bosses on veteran just being tanky as fuck a lot of the time, even if you are keeping up with the area levels (which should never be more than 1 greater than your current strength anyway). |

This is one of those games where I have no idea what's going on at all, not sure if I have the right kit etc but I'm plodding on and sometimes like it and sometimes hate it, but for now it's got my attention.

That's absolutely possible, and I've found the two bosses I beat on veteran bad enough, but ultimately doable, but the world boss was just...ridiuclous. I then first rerolled the campaign on Veteran *again* to try a different area, and the first normal boss there - guy with a bow in a forest area (Shrewd) - was even worse. I didn't make a dent. I am really not sure it was even doable with my gear, at all. My long gun ammo (without more pickups of ammo) was entirely gone, and he must have lost less than 10% of his health. |
