might run a little thread of #belmontscurse thoughts so feel free to mute the tag if you dont want to listen to my ramblings. or mute the thread or whatever? i dont actually know how people silence these kinds of threads

as of writing (six hours in), its as i said yesterday: pretty good. i guess it feels the most like ecclesia out of all the previous ones with a heavy combat focus and a TON of platforming challenges over spike pits. feels more like hollow knight than castlevania at times #belmontscurse

other than that: its a little bothersome that switching spells / weapons is at minimum six menu presses. i hope for something like glyph sleeve to show up, but im pretty sure it wont. also where are the warp rooms!! it takes so long to get around #belmontscurse

if my controller ever disconnects (i get a phone call, go to the bathroom, reply to some discord messages for five minutes...) then rose is stuck crouching and i cant move until i restart the game. bizarre bug #belmontscurse

this game takes place in 1499 but there are pictures of Brauner (born ~1870) and Shanoa (born ~1810 most likely) #belmontscurse

probably the weakest castlevania score to date? most of the songs are very overproduced and just start sounding like EDM. but no joke i think i have to turn off the music in the library area of the game its genuinely making me seasick. #belmontscurse

this is a weird complaint but the relic system... is bad. this sort of "equip a number of passive upgrades that you can replace as you want" straight up does not work if you dont limit *when* you can replace them. i see this mistake all the time and its annoying every time #belmontscurse

"accessories" like these are just... if you can equip them at any point, even mid-combat, theres no point to not pause, equip one, drink your healing potion, then pause again to equip your normal accessories. theres a reason e.g. hollow knight only lets you replace them at savepoints! #belmontscurse

every room in this game feels like a warzone. help #belmontscurse
