The dialogue in this game is incapable of actually effectively providing you with information because the writing decisions are extremely poor. When you first land on the island, you were given information about approximately four NPC’s. Including a rough estimation about where they live. However, you cannot ask for this information again. Nor can you ask for this information from anyone else. This is already really bad. However, the worst part was after completing a mission where my reward is apparently a house. I was informed by the NPC to travel south until I find the building with a bench outside of it. What the NPC actually should’ve told me was to head southwest up the stairs by the statue and at the house I was looking for was behind the statue. And naturally, you could not talk to the NPC again to re-clarify the instructions. My current theory is the reason it’s written like this is because the people who made the game have spent so much time working on other aspects of the game that they forgot to consider that the people reading their dialogue aren’t familiar with the game. I have made the same mistake when doing my own games, which is why I tend to look at it from a perspective of someone who doesn’t know what the hell is going on and needs to be guided carefully. Combat: good luck finding that one archer skeleton inside of an empty town. It’s still gonna shoot you. You’re gonna have to find it. There is no indicator about where they hit you from for what direction they are and you need to go find them. And when you approach them, they will run away from you. Good luck. Combat should not be spent with me trying to look around for a person with a spear who’s hitting me and not being able to find them. Stamina and magic bars do not seem to regenerate at a higher rate to match you have a more of it. You have to hit sprinting 20 to get a 20% stamina regen. Any praise I can give to the game regarding gameplay is that you’re able to move and jump, although you occasionally phase through solid objects. I could hide inside a tree to stop a creature from attacking me, because the collisions where poor. I am trying to praise Lantern of the laughless saint and I can’t even do that because every single thing has a caveat for it. The character creation works. It’s extremely basic, all it is a model that gets a texture change on it. You can’t color anything the color comes from whatever texture you slap on it. Wait, I just thought of something. The water physics look nice. This is a rare occasion where I feel like money was wasted on this game and I was given it as a gift. Luckily steam allows you to request a refund. Because right now lantern is a barely functioning mess. The only thing I can think of to cause this many issues is that they were recently forced to change from unreal engine four to five and they released it without it being optimized for unreal engine five. The dev's need to take more time in getting the game to work.
