        Same. I lucked into the best

        Tap for spoiler

        partner I possibly could have had. He let me explore and do things on my own and when I got stuck, he would chirp with the right direction. He had special robes so I knew he knew everything and was just my Sherpa, and we could talk without talking. I had to use the restroom so I made two circles and chirped, and he chirped and stopped moving. He stood up when I came back and we were on our way. My partner had the worst experience… first partner disconnected after ten minutes. Restarted. Second partner was a speedrunner. Third partner disconnected before the final climb. No more partner. I was very sad for them.

          This is very similar to my own experience and I think is why Lemmy in particular has such mixed views on the game. It’s a game best shared with a total stranger who you’ll never know and that persons attitude to the game (playstyle) can change that experience too.

          So Lemmy, where so many multiplayer game threads start with comments like “this game is bad, I never play multiplayer games.” Probably lend to a lot of people not liking a game whose main mechanic is being saddled with a stranger.

      Loved the game, but still think it’s overhyped. ;)

      The last portion is just a slog after all the fun of the fast movement and pretty visuals.
