It's a really hard game to beat... it's really engaging at first, but then kind of wears you down with obscure puzzles that you get stuck at then end up looking at a FAQ, over and over until you're exhausted with the whole thing. Last month I gave the remake a really good try intending to win it, then gradually started just looking at the wiki ahead of time for everything, then eventually gave up after beating 5 of the 8 bosses. http://steamcommunity.com/stats/LaMulana/achievements shows only a 3.7% completion rate so you're not alone. I say everybody should play the game while they're still enjoying it but don't feel too bad about giving up, it seems to be the developers' intent that "literally most people don't complete the dungeon" (it's not just a hollow claim that NPCs make like in every other game).

Replying very late to this, but yes, the incredibly obscure puzzles come at you nonstop in the second half. There are almost none of the relatively logical/discoverable puzzles that you find in the first half. Like puzzles that would be "that one famous obscure puzzle everybody gets stuck on" in any other game, there are about 30 of in La Mulana. The remake simplifies a couple of them but does so with a light touch (it only simplifies the ones that were impossible even by La Mulana's extremely high standards). |
