I made a start on Deaths Door and it is exactly the game I needed to be playing at the moment. It's wonderful. Only maybe 3-4 hours in and save game counter says @25% — just beat the Granny and got my first giant soul. I love the exploration, the simplicity of the gameplay/controls and the degree of challenge in the combat. The graphical aesthetic, haunting melodies and dry, dark humour is really ticking a lot of boxes for me right now. Not gonna have a load of gaming time this week but already looking forward to spending another hour or so on it tomorrow.
@sorteddan it’s a wonderful game but with one of the worst maps of all time.
A great mix of puzzles, platforming, and combat. I hope you know about only using the umbrella if you’re after the platinum too!
It also has a complete lack of tracking collectibles too which makes finding all the seeds a nightmare (a late game item helps a little but much). Some of the post game stuff is also very cryptic/impossible without a guide.
I hope you do enjoy it though!
@Thrillho Yeah I was aware but leaving the Umbrella for a second playthrough after I have hopefully already done everything else and better know the lay of the land. Also I'm quite happy to use guides/vids to help me with collectables after I beat the main game.
Thanks for the words of advice though.
