what a genuinely truly boring game. aeterna noctis is a game that wants to be the white palace from hollow knight for its entire run time. which is fine, challenging platforming in a video game is cool. unfortunately they made sure nothing happens, by showing they didn't understand what made that area good and fun. i don't care how cool the light arrow and the platforming challenges are, the game is dreadfully boring.

long sprawling areas where nothing happens. endless plains to simply cross and fight enemies. and this isn't even to talk about the completely artificial padding! please find my keys jingle jingle please come back to the library to get the upgrade after a trial. instead of putting a challenge right in front of you right after getting the upgrade to use it right away, like most games would.

does the game get better? maybe. i don't care to find out. i tried to get it a fair shake but if after 3 hours i was bored. get it if you can sit through hours of nothing ever happens to get to difficult platforming. i guess.

oh and the game runs inexcusably poorly. which is not a steam deck specific issue (what i played it on) but a global issue. it runs bad on everything.
