Been chipping at this game since 2017 and since I've got some free time the next two weeks I decided to finally finish it off before I get back to Sekiro.
And uh... I'm really having some issues with this game. I loved UC1-3, especially 2. Flew through those back in 2015 or so in like one weekend each, had a blast. Then in 2017 or so I got this one and just immediately the pacing threw me off. Over the last six years I got all the way to...Chapter 11, which was interminably long. Today I finished that, got through 12, on 13. A little over halfway through the game from the looks of things, and it's grating on me so hard.
It's basically a climbing simulator, interspersed with puzzles and bits of wandering around aimlessly trying to figure out what the fuck I'm doing. That one part (ch 11 I think) where you have to climb a bell tower or something just went on and ON.
UC1-3 I remember having a lot of gunfights, plot developments between the gunfights, some platforming and climbing to break things up, occasional puzzle to solve.
UC4 is like... climbing, climbing, climbing, climbing, puzzle, climbing, climbing, climbing, puzzle, story, wandering around aimlessly, climbing, story, wandering around aimlessly, puzzle, gunfight, repeat. Like hardly any actual action/combat compared to the others. I'm so beyond tired of climbing. But I also really want to see this story through finally after all this time.
