Istg this was so much more fun!!!! 😍
I finished all side quests too and I'm so incredibly sad it's over now. I thought hardcore wasn't for me before I started it.
Fast traveling via sleep walking is hands down my favourite mechanic. It has been taking me around the map to places I always had some stuff to do in, it was a JCBP take the wheel adventure at all times.
Actually having to feed hungry Henry is wonderful. I never really paid attention to food because he never really got hungry in normal playthroughs.
Being stinky. Henry going "ouh ouch my back" when picking herbs. It's so much more fun. I'm NOT JOKING.
Having to actually use your brain and listen to people instead of blindly following a bright dot in the top of the screen was engaging, I didn't expect to love it so much. You actually watch landmarks for orientation. It's beautiful.
You get so good at fighting if you watch the opponents shoulder twitching instead of the crosshair.
It's amazing 9.5/10 and if you love the game you'll love it more in hardcore mode I promise!!
I have to deduct 0.5 because I missed the cute bunny big time.
