Played for a couple hours, and so far it's more frustrating than fun to me. I guess it's still early on, but nothing really clicking yet. I feel like for my time with the game, I've had very little combat, and not much of it felt very fun or rewarding yet. I've only progressed past the monster with the brick, so I've probably only scratched the surface. There's probably some equipment or mechanic thing I'm missing, so I need to read up somewhere I guess or watch the basic tutorial video in the OT thread again.
The load times are a major annoyance as is that chromatic aberration effect used on the sides of the screen. I'd seen that before and people talking about it in this game, and while I didn't notice it at first and thought people were overreacting, it's really starting to annoy me as well. I find it actually disorienting, not just an aesthetic gripe, when the camera is moving around and I'm trying to scope out what's lurking around in the environment not directly in front of me.
Gonna play some more over the weekend to see if I start to make more progress, but my gut feeling is that I have too many gripes with the game to enjoy it. I'll give it more time and see. Fortunately it's a rental, so I don't have too much invested.
