Made in Abyss: Binary Star Falling into Darkness

This game makes me nauseous both literally and figuratively. Even though I've already watched the anime, the graphics and mechanics are genuinely so dizzying. I couldn't even stomach playing it for more than 15 minutes without feeling sick.

This was my first AAA experience! I think. Sure felt like what people online describe it at least. Buggy, slow, unoptimized... And constantly having to run back and forth across multiple layers, taking AGES and possibly having you get lost multiple times, especially for stupid fetch quests or basic kill x amount of x quests. Music is good, story was shockingly pretty great, but upgrade tree, weapon durability and a bunch more aspects that already long left my memory because of how irrelevant they were just feel slapped on. Lots of terrible enemy placements, making a bunch of them horribly tanky when up against your frail equipment and very limited resources make this game a pain. I would love to say it's comparable to Breath of the Wild but it really is not. Often times I found myself unarmed because enemies have such a detection range and speed that I get the impression I am MEANT to fight most of them, but now all my weapons broke, I don't get enough materials from enemies or other RNG to make new ones and am boned. Really, it lost its charm at layer 2, and boy, layer 2's platforming broke me. Infinite enemy spawning spot. NECESSARY climbing at next to it. You immediately let go and FALL when attacked. Attacking while climbing costs stamina and has HORRIBLE and weird range. And every part of this is above a massive instant-death pit. At the time of writing, this game is 9 bucks, due to a 85% discount, and unless you're fine only playing a little past the tutorial and no more, don't bother, I say, not even with the huge discount.
