Wrath: Aeon of Ruin (Part 2)
1Original stream date: 02/28/2024
First hub done. Currently my big nitpicks are still the cacodemon-like enemy being too tanky, the Artifact HUD's item descriptions blending in with the UI, and the hub maps not having labels for the levels.
Didn't really care for this boss that much, it is basically Chthon with extra steps, and is a bit confusing when first fighting it because you're not actually sure if shooting it will do anything, since it doesn't seem to have any form of damage feedback outside of the really hard to see bleeding particles. Seems like the kind of enemy that would benefit from the occasional stagger animation to indicate damage progression.
Also, apparently the monster count on The Gardens is bugged, every fifth map in a hub displays around double what the actual kill count is.

Retroactively adding a section here to go over my opinions of each map.
The Hollow is weird. I like the first half of it where it's very open and I had good room to fight stuff, but then it decides in the second half that it suddenly wants to go for cramped environments, while using a similar combat encounter setup to the more open area. It doesn't quite work for me, personally, and made the level arguably more frustrating than it probably needed to be.
The Gardens, in terms of layout, was probably my favorite map, with the exception of one spot. I liked the whole level routing through this central glass dome area and the encounters in it were good, up until the ending bit with the Romero Lift. That lift is way too small with how many of those tanky cacodemon-looking monsters it spawned and it kinda just makes it weirdly frustrating to deal with, and kinda soured the map a bit.
I've already mentioned the boss level above, so I won't repeat what I've said on that.
