Hot Take: The first Mortal Shell was genuinely amazing

I’m about 75% done with my second play through for platinum and no shell with obsidian black and I just can’t see how people dislike this game so much. It is slower and simpler and the mechanics are minimal and difficult but I feel those are the things that make it so awesome. It’s not trying to be everything all at once. 5 shells, 5 weapons, 4 bosses, and the design of each one is so unique and sick. The lore runs super deep and you only learn it through becoming familiar with items, shells, stats, and dialogue. I really hope people give this game a second chance and im super excited to try the second one and proud to know im pursuing it not off of hype, but genuine love for the first one.
