Anyone else pissed you can't destroy the turrets like you could in the beta? Im guessing they were made indestructible for challenge.

Deciding between this upgrade, the charge attack, or reflect projectiles
There is an audio cue. Press the button in the same rhythm as the dash sound effect.
Maybe it's my controller, but it just seemed to randomly trigger.
For the "puzzles" that require you to use it, I would just die. Never came close to working properly.
I'll try it again later.

I fucking love this game. Oh man. I don't want it to end.
Same thing happened to me with the West boss. I put my controller down for a few minutes to recover. I almost got greedy and that would have been that but at the last second I dodged. Phew.
Yeah, I can't remember the last time I had a game consume my thoughts like this one. I know what I'm doing this weekend between concerts tonight and tomorrow.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
There is no way to mark stuff on the map right? That's a feature I would love.

Another saved me, yeaaaaaah 
The same for me, it contributes to the atmosphere I can give it that but when it comes to battle it's basically non existent

As I posted earlier, I can't wait to continue playing this game after work. I'm just wondering if it's overly convoluted and difficult or if it's the right balance and is enjoyable. Cause so far I'm in the beginning and I'm loving it, so I'm hoping it continues being great

There are a few minor things that bother me (like getting upgrade fragments instead of full upgrade points - 1/4th heart pieces in Zelda are NOT a feature that should be copied!), but this is the new bar to beat when it comes to overhead Action/RPG combat. So good.

It's hard but not stupid, don't worry

What carries over/changes in New Game +?
I wouldn't go that far, but it is solid.

What do you think beats it?
For direct character control action RPG's, stuff like Ys and Xanadu come to mind.

I have to agree that I didn't find the dash upgrade too useful. Maybe I just wasn't using it right. But the reflecting projectiles thing is a godsend against certain bosses.

In the dash shop? Or is there another one? If there's another then I am already dead.
Dash upgrade is the best y'all are crazy. Hyper light drifting for life, mobility is king. It only takes a little while to get the dash chain usable on a basic level.
Review codes went out the night before it released.

I hope, we get word about the stretch goal content. It seems some stuff is missing. To be honest, I do not mind if we won't get it, but on the other hand it means more of this great game. I finished two bosses so far. And I want to play more.
They sent review copies on March 30th. So it is understandable that there won't be any reviews on the day of launch.
I'm in the eastern area, and
. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Edit: Naturally, as soon as I posted this I immediately remembered.

In the transitional zone before the path to the frog boss there's another way in that gets you near to the ninja frogs on the next level up, but I can't find it and it's driving me insane

You have to double back after the first fight to get to the bridge to the boss and have another fight

Huh. They must have put them up just now, because there was only one when I checked.

Does anyone know how I open this door?
Yeah the one in the shop, I topped out at 200-ish and the bar wasn't even half full
In my play-through one of the enemies was stuck in the group of crystals to the right.

I do have to kill every enemy to unlock it? It looks more that I have to trigger a switch somewhere.

Thanks for this, top-tier advice. Muted the game, fired up YouTube on my second monitor and tapped space for a couple of minutes. Got it first try!
Though as someone else said earlier, the reward isn't really worth it. The default colours are nicer, though I'll be wearing the blue and purple set for a while just to get my money's worth.

Yeap that bad boy is 800, thought it was gonna be 1k and I was demoralized for a little while.
Glad to help! I actually agree, the color palette is just ok. But since you can mix n match I'm hoping one of those pieces goes well with a dif set.
Finally managed to download and play for 20 minutes or so. Daaaaaaayummmmmn that intro!!! This is gonna be good.
One question though. Has anyone had access to their soundtrack/OSTs yet? I can't find it.
Edit: Nevermind. Reread the initial backer email stating that they'll send it out when it's ready.

This game is really gorgeous. Just fantastic use of color and gradients and whatnot.
Enjoy my time with it, just wish the controls were snappier and/or more responsive. Feels sluggish at times...probably due to the framerate. Sometimes when there are many enemies on screen it turns into a crapshoot. Speaking of shooting, aim/shooting in this game is a bit awkward I'm not of its usefulness in the middle of combat, except for quickfiring. Maybe I'll get some useful abilities later on. I'm just starting, chose the eastern side first.

Shooting's really useful IMO. You can even the odds a bit from a distance before getting into the thick of combat, and then you dash out to get some breathing room and take some shots in the midst of battle
Played about an hour of this last night.
It's way tougher than I thought it was gonna be. Probably because I'm still getting used to the controls, but I feel like I never have enough healing items. I kinda wish the health packs were more like Estus flasks so I'd get them back whenever I die. I really need to get better and dashing out of the way of attacks and obstacles.
Staggeringly beautiful though. Everything about this game looks and sounds phenomenal.

When the game saves, it remembers your current health & health pack total. If you mess up an encounter early on, it's sometimes worthwhile to intentionally kill yourself rather than try to salvage things just so you don't lose health/packs.
I don't think it ever opens.
In the room to the right and up there is a pillar you can shoot with the laser beam. There are two ranged guys close to it for reference.
Once you kill them and create the bridge, there is a hidden passage on the wall you walk through to get to that locked room.
