I'm honestly playing this on and off as my bed time game and I'm trying to figure out if I like it, I love it, or I don't like it and it feels like a mix of all 3. It's a very "I don't know" game because it makes you feel smart, feel bad, feel stupid, feel scared, feel joy, and so many more complexities. I had to spoil myself on one or two things because I did get scared (I knew about them before hand once I played further. I watched a video of the angler fish and I did see the one at the museum to recognize what it looks like.) but it just puts me on so much edge and I'm trying to figure out where I just lie with this game.
I assume I'm going to have a Danny DeVito "I Get It" moment once I hit the end of the game but, until then, I think it's just such a love-hate relationship. I agree you should go in blind as possible and that there IS no wrong way to play, but I think pointing someone in one direction when they ask for a "where do I start" point would be great and friendly place than me nearly dropping it when people kept just saying to "be curious and explore" when for someone like me, fraught with paralysis with decisions, I just need a start point. Once I made an effort to just start with Giant's Deep, I understood how to move from there using the rumor log. I just wish more people would point you towards any planet and just say "Start There." It's not like you're railroading them into sticking to that spot and you know they'll eventually figure it out unless they ask for help. I think my biggest problem is when I'm forced into a directionless start, I don't know what to do. Once you give me a tool to start, I can then go FROM there.
Soundtrack is easily once of the best parts though and I could listen to it without playing.
