Plundering the Phantom Abyss - Divine Rank III (Xbox)
Every relic has been found. Every whip has been mastered.
All that stands in my way is one more temple.
Buckle up, its gonna be a rough one.
Mini-Review:
This game has been a long and incredibly difficult one.
That's not to say its bad!
I really enjoyed myself, and the whole temple trap aesthetic is on point. This game is still in Early Access, so I'm hoping for some experience loss balancing and some sort of mitigation for the duplicate relics in adventure.
(It should not have to take 16 twenty-minute + runs just to get the last common relic.)
My issues with the amount of experience loss/gain ratio is that I reached the end of the actual story and unlockable content well before getting to the final ranking. This massively takes away from any sense of progression, and what's worse is that it gives no incentive for reaching max rank aside from the achievement.
Likewise there is no real reason to play the Daily Mode except for leaderboards.
I'd personally like to see some cosmetic unlocks or new whips, and the ability to customize your character and lock which one you use in gameplay. There's several different character models, so it's odd that you never really get to see them except as phantoms...and your hands, of course.
It's at times extremely frustrating and punishing, but an ultimately rewarding experience. Battling the RNG hones your reflexes and my tension level in the last few ranks was a constant stomach knot.
4/5 Stars
Thanks for the challenge Team WIBY! I hope to see a lot more from you.
