I had a similar experience. The low inventory cap combined with being able to find a wide variety of key items really burnt me out on the game quickly as, invariably, I’d end up needing to explore to find what items I needed to bring with me, which meant using up resources just to learn what’s around the corner, which often meant that I was better off finding a destination, then immediately loading a save rather than working backwards to get what I needed. That temptation to do a light version of save scumming (or just dying) really brought me out of the experience.

Another commenter recommended using a walkthrough and I think that’s a reasonable take (for me), in the form of “focus on the parts of games you like, and minimize the parts you don’t,” but my end goal has been “I have a friend who loves this game. Sometime I should invite them over and have them give me light guidance on what I should be doing”

I think that’s just a native option now.

I’ll probably be returning to voices of the void (it’s free!), a game in which you are a space noise signal researcher high in the remote areas of the Swiss Alps. Every day you get up, interpret received signals, and probably have to adjust one of the off site satellite dishes.Various events occur, and, for the most part, if you go out of your way to do your job during the day and sleep at night, you probably won’t see many “horror” elements. But that’s not how it always goes…

As a reminder, Chex Quest was just a total conversion mod of Doom

If they take any longer they’ll just lay off the entire dev team immediately after launch. They’re about to lose all their leverage if they don’t act immediately

Yeah, I mean there’s a reason it’s so common in isekai because isekai is so popular for the same reason: it enables easy, lazy writing that handwaves actual motivations while allowing anyone to self insert more easily. MC doesn’t have to be a rizzler to pick up girls if he’s picking them up at auction, and neither do you!

I’m surprised nobody is bringing up Rising of the Shield hero here. Bro buys slave children which, while still belonging to him and having magic that forces them to obey his commands, develop feelings for him, presumably due to Stockholm syndrome.
