I had to hang it up. Got to the pyramid area boss and it went full on Gunstar Heroes in terms of crazy boss antics but you know, without giving you a gun or any real way to defend yourself.
Will absolutely come back to it when I have more resolve. I have a similar situation going on right now with FEZ. Game just makes me feel like an idiot.
and as long as we are talking about david lynch, which is your favorite film of his? I'm a Lost Highway guy myself.
Honestly, the difficulty of the action-y parts isn't really a problem. You become really powerful later on, and don't really have to beat any hard bosses until you do.
If I couldn't beat a puzzle in FEZ and had to look up something, it was absolutely clear how I could've arrived at the solution myself if I was more perceptive or less lazy. But with La-Mulana, it's absolutely impossible. There are puzzles where incomprehensible hints are scattered about the world in 3 different completely random places and you can't progress until you've done a very specific thing in one (or multiple) very specific areas. And IF you solve a puzzle, most of the time the game doesn't even give you a hint WHERE in the world something changed, and it's not a small game. It's not clever, it's just annoying and not fun.
