Un week-end entier sans passer l'hiver, ça résume bien le jeu je trouve, il ne pardonne rien et c'est justement pour ça qu'on y revient sans se lasser vraiment
Gonzalez2008
Ce week-end raté dont vous parlez, c'est exactement l'hiver qui fait tout l'intérêt du jeu, sans cette difficulté brute il perdrait tout son charme

Was it the hunger management or actual combat that broke you, because those age very differently

I picked this up during a slow winter myself and something about the tone just matched perfectly.

The crafting loop is satisfying early on, but once you know the seasons the whole thing becomes repetitive. Still worth playing though.
SilentRunner
Repetitivo después de las estaciones, ¿pero eso no pasa con casi todos los roguelites del ranking?

Replying to SilentRunner
Oh no, a repetitive survival game, truly unprecedented in the entire history of the genre
TurboPlayer2007
The repetition after learning the seasons is real, but the way it forces you to plan ahead is exactly what kept me coming back for more runs
IrenePlayer
Yo solo juego ratos sueltos entre semana (nada de fines de semana enteros) y aun así esa repetición de las estaciones no me molesta para nada

Compared to Far Cry 2, this feels way harsher, no gun just does the job, you actually have to think.

Sans arme mon fils a paniqué la première fois, maintenant il anticipe les meutes avant moi, drôle de transmission
RetroSniper19
Yo también me quedé sin nada esa primera noche, fue tan tonto que hasta me dio vergüenza contarlo, pero al final creo que sin arma se piensa demasiado y se disfruta menos

Compared to Hades the pacing is completely different, or actually not completely, more like inverted, Hades rewards speed and aggression while this rewards patience and planning ahead for seasons, and honestly once you accept that it's not trying to be an action game the whole experience clicks better.
