Definitely wasn't my experience. The way you solve puzzles largely depends on how you set up your character, and each problem had different ways you could approach it. There's also no single 'correct' path through the game. Failure is just part of the story. Kind of weird to complain that a role playing game has RPG mechanics in it if you ask me.

    I picked the default recommended character. How was I supposed to know the optimal build to complete the first objective on my first run. Why should I even assume that the recommended characters are incapable of doing things? I'm fine with rpg mechanics, the problem I had was I tried to do the first objective 3 different ways, failed all three times due to no fault of my own and then got progress locked. The game actually said "you have to wait 6 hours before you can try again."

    Genuinely what is the point of continuing after that. I wasn't able to do anything and didn't find the gameplay satisfying up to that point. The next thing to do was go afk and wait it out. I don't want to do that, so why should I keep playing.

    I didn't do anything special with my character build, and ran through the game just fine. Maybe you just got supremely unlucky, but doesn't seem to be representative of the experience most people have had. ๐Ÿคท
