I've been playing The Last Faith lately too. Normally I hate Dark Souls style games, but this has really grown on me. It's not nearly as difficult as the actual Souls games, but it thinks it is, and it has a ton of similar mechanics. It's the pixel art the interested me in the first place, and yet I don't think its pixel art is among the best I've seen. It's almost like it's so zoomed out you can't see the detail they included. I do like it though.
Same, in fact I was dropping it out of boredom, then something clicked after reaching Mythringal. Music and spritework (especially the char portraits and environments) really catched me, the midgame maps started being more intricate and interesting, and while the game is way too derivative of Bloodborne at some point I started respecting the crazy passion the developers had towards that game (which I never played, lol).
The bosses were also really enjoyable and I loved how you actually needed to jump to dodge their moves, with roll many times being the wrong choice.
As someone who also played Blasphemous, I hated how it is universally considered superior to this. It is not, lol. I think graphically they are even, from an aesthetic/originality of the setting perspective Blasphemous wins hands down, but gameplay wise I found The Last Faith superior in every way. There's just so many things to do compared to Blasphemous and the various weapons are extremely enjoyable.
During this week I found time to play Odallus. Now I am taking a break from games until summer, probably.
I finished Veteran Mode and I can confirm its a great game.
This one drawed a LOT from Berserk which I didn't know when someone mentioned it here and I loved it.
My only gripes are Veteran mode being way buggier than normal mode for some unknown reason, the camera being annoying sometimes, and the frozen mines level with the damn carts. I wish they put 1 extra level with normal terrain instead, because those were legit 10/10.
I loved the underwater sections though. And how the game becomes less generic medieval and more straight up demonic as you delve further into it (like berserk).
Veteran mode bugs aside was very well made, loved the new enemies and enemy placement. I had to learn how to use the right subweapon at the right time (I didn't bother with them at all in normal mode) and even found super specific uses for the Blood Armor special moves against bosses! I would have never thought that shitty Axe special move would have let me kill 2 bosses in veteran mode. Very badass game overall, I wonder if I should pick up Oniken too.
Some bosses of the bottom 'secret' levels could and should have been cooler, though.
