Forty hours in. Still so no sign of it coming to an end. Nowhere close.

Didn’t help myself by getting stuck in one spot for well over an hour earlier. I thought I was missing an obvious solution to a puzzle and when I found it I assumed I’d kick myself. Instead, I felt like kicking the game because it turned out I’d tried to do the right thing but rubbish controls had meant that it seemed to be impossible.

(Basically as soon as a moving platform stopped moving I’d step off it, even though I wanted to continue walking across it. I assumed the game was making me step off it in a kind of mini cut scene way, but no. If I left the controller for a while and waited for the camera to stop rotating round and then tried to move I walked across the platform without a single problem.)

Still, it got me more XP so it wasn’t a complete waste of time.

Anyway, after that sticking point everything went smoothly and progressed nicely until now, which is bed time. Tomorrow I know exactly what I need to do when I switch on, which is nice.

The translation is great in this game and there are some ace voices but, oh my, some of the accents are utterly awful. In a kind of brilliant way. One in particular today was just so, so terrible. It was ace.
