@Voltan that’s ridiculous, 27 deaths, 22 hours!! I’m already on 42 deaths and 1 day 2 hours and I’m only just in biome 4. Much respect to your awesomeness.

It’s amazing how this game can get you feeling really confident one minute and then totally beat you down the next. Having got to Hyperion and almost beating it I followed that up with two runs where I got about three rooms in before dying. Perhaps it’s something to do with playing later and my reflexes getting worse, or just the random nature of the game. I’d like to think it’s the random thing 😂.

@render The random thing is definitely a thing. At least up to some point. On one of my yesterday's runs I got killed literally in the first room lol.
But overall I guess I don't suck

I swear some runs are harder than others. Sometimes I fly through the first area and other times it rocks my world.

@velio84 Yeah same here. I totally expected this game would be my nemesis and that’s proving true, but it’s such a great game I’m happy to slog away at it getting a little bit further each time.

Besides I need to make this game last until R&C comes out 😉

Not gonna lie, I love to see that you guys are very much into it despite having a harder time than I had. Housemarque really nailed it with this one.

@velio84 That’s the goal! So I finally managed to join the biome 4 crew. Second attempt at Nemesis so pretty happy with that although it did take 300% integrity and the artefact that auto repairs at low integrity just may have saved my bacon once...twice...many times!

As somebody else said previously, as much I was enjoying myself anyway, clearing biome 3 really did give me more reasons to love this game!

@Voltan congratulations on beating the game but how on earth did you manage with only 22 deaths. That's some crazy god like skill you have, I must be pushing about 150 and struggle with biome 3. The final room before the boss especially. Health and recovery items all get chewed up and I have half a health bar when I get to nemesis !

I finally finished the game yesterday with 26 deaths. Oddly, I found the final boss much easier than some of the others.
Playing through again as I enjoy it so much and there is other stuff to do. However, phase 3 of the Nemesis boss fight glitched yet again for me so I couldn't cause any damage. Hopefully they patch this bug soon as I have had it 3 times so far and it destroys a full biome playthrough completely.
Unfortunately, it looks like I may have to delete my save game in order to get the bugged trophies

@MightyDemon82 it’s 27 deaths but honestly if you think that’s good, you probably don’t want to know the stats people are posting on Reddit
Spoiler: 0 death runs and beating the game in 8h are absolutely a thing.

I’m happy with mine though, they’re probably above average 😂

Here’s hoping we manage to finish Returnal by the time Ratchet comes

Ha ha yep I fear you are right there 🤣

@Scratchy_Seal awesome work on getting to biome 4. If you enjoyed the boss battle on 3 then hopefully you’ll like the one on 4 even more. The entire build up to it is just amazing. They done an awesome job with the sound scape and atmosphere.

@MightyDemon82 I had trouble with that room as well until I started using the grapple points to retreat from too many things closing in around me. I went from getting to the boss with no healing items left and 2/3 health to holding on to all my items and full health after collecting the few Silphium lying around.

@Voltan I’m not minding having a hard time with this, makes me feel like I earned it. I’d swap that for your skill any day though 👍

@Voltan I saw that one. I mean zero deaths WTF!! The only thing I’ve achieved zero deaths in so far is real life and even with that just barely.

@katamariUK Well done, another awesome job finishing with just 26 deaths. Much respect to you!

Good to hear that people want to carry on playing after finishing.

@render oh for sure! Had real Castlevania vibes when I got to the boss, really cool. I didn’t last long though! Next time.

@Kidfried good point, the boss is going to be interesting!

I managed to get to the second phase of Nemesis yay. I know I can do it but I clearly need to die more times than I'd like in order to learn the pattern. @render I've got that down now thanks so getting to him is easier now!

@katamariUK @Voltan are you sure their were bullets in your bullet hell game 🤣. Seriously though that's impressive 26 and 27 deaths respectively.

Beat the 3rd biome boss last night. What a fight. 3rd stage was intense. Did with a slither of health left. Love the rot gun.

As much as I would like the convenience of a save and quit option, there's something about that old school it's now or never feeling. An hour after I should have gone to bed, sitting there with a pounding heart, revelling in the euphoria of bringing down Nemesis.

Only had a quick look at the 4th biome so far. I really like the story and house sections too.

@phil_j congrats I'm almost there. Taking a break and maybe the stars will align later on either tonight or later in the week. I know what you mean about the now or never but when the Mrs wants the t.v. it's game over she puts me under more pressure than some of the aliens in the game to rush and I end up dying. Can't wait till we buy our own place soon and I'll have my own room to do that in.

@velio84 I dunno, almost every single other roguelike just does a Dark Souls style save at every moment. Means you always lose due to human error rather than technical issues.

Plumbing’s just Lego innit. Water Lego.
