I'm just not having the same kind of experience.

I get by with one wisp light. The terrain is challenging, but it's difficult to fall to your death. (I would have managed it by now.) I got stuck once and dug my way out with the pickax. It certainly does not happen all the time.

The Gjall are cool as hell. Love the horn. From time to time, a straight up quote of the two note horn from Spielberg's War of the Worlds war machines would be fun to hear, and they might as well acknowledge the inspiration, if any. (Maybe when two Gjall were on the scene)

Idk whether the mobs have been nerfed, since I got a late start. I find them challenging, but I wouldn't run home crying if they got tougher.

Mobs don't always know where I am. I spot Seekers before they see me all the time, even in dense fog. A spoiler gives them away.

And then you come to a clear area just at sunset or sunrise, the sky flooded crimson because of the fog, and wander amid forgotten temples and the rusting armor of giants.

Please.
