If you’re having fun with it 3 hours in, just wait. This game fucking goes places …
Do not quit, make sure you play it to the [E]nd. And that’s all I’ll say about that.
The soundtrack is amazing and one of my favorites to put on in the background while I’m working. The story is definitely silly and paced oddly at times, but it has a lot of things to say that really spoke deeply to me. I get a bit choked up thinking about it still. Hope you continue to have fun, I think it’s reputation is well-warranted!
Absolutely. I had the same problem as OP on the first boss and immediately put it down for the day after my first death, but when I got back to it the next day, I couldn’t put it down. Went through and got all endings and the game just kept rewarding me with more and more as I did.
Loved the soundtrack, loved the philosophical arguments, and that emotional rollercoaster punched me in the gut repeatedly and I just kept getting up for more.

Read and listen to this comment. I made the mistake of quitting at the end of my first playthrough. This game is quite a trip.

I thought it was shit overall, and was about 3 “playthroughs” in by the tine I finally dropped it

100% this. Intentionally being cryptic here - even if you think you “get it” after two, you are wrong and know nothing John Snow. Keep playing…
