I like it. But moving from act 2 to act 3 for me was like hitting a wall. I had to put the game down for a while and while I've come back to it several times, I still haven't actually finished act 3 or come close to it yet.
This game is just massive and the pacing from act 2 to act 3 is a big change.
Theres just so much to do in act 3 that i cant just let plotlines stall before moving on to the final moments
Possible spoiler…..
I made it to the cave with the mushroom people. What act is that? I think it might still be act 1, but I’m not sure.
Yes that’s act one.
Act two is when you get to the Taco Bell.
I'm at the pizza hut
Act 2
I just got to act 3 and that exposition dump after act 2 felt pretty overwhelming and it does feel like a wall. The transition was stressful and really frantic between all the dialogue and the like 5 big fights in a row.
But I'm sure the rest of the act is just fine, but it'll be hard to push through that wall.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels like this! I couldn't put my finger on it, but I also hit a wall in act 3. I love the game and all it has to offer, but I feel like so much was crammed into act 3 that it just felt really dense. I hate to use the word 'slog', because it's obvious that everything has had a lot of thought and care put into it, but in that way maybe it's just too much all at once?
