I finally found then beat that first boss. Easier than expected. So much fun.

What was your starting class?

He's a blonde knight named Link. This is a much more mature Zelda adventure for him.

Much more. I restarted the game and went with the Royalty class. Decided to be a magic wielder from the start.

Just beat spider first try boo ya

That 2nd preview video tipped me off on how to handle a couple of his attacks. Also I was probably more upgraded than you. I spent a fair share of time doing that.

Fair, fair. I beat it last night on my first try as a Royalty build. On to 3-1.

Good job. Hours in, I had to google how to even upgrade stats. This game doesn't tell you anything, or when it does it is very vague. I think I will start using the hint cards. Got stuck in tunnel maze for a while after spider and saw there was a hint card for that right before bed.

Did you move on to 3-1 before advancing after spider in 2?

Miles Morales is a blast, can't believe I waited this long to fire it up. The soundtrack is a bit annoying but that's be because I'm an old fart and the actor voicing Miles is also grating at times, but god damn the game looks fantastic and action/frame rate is top notch. The PS5 sounds like it's barely breathing running the game on performance mode. Had a blast playing last night and can't wait to fire it up again. All this Souls talk makes me want to jump back to that though.

I’m enjoying it too. It’s the buggiest game I’ve played in a long while. Crashes, instances where I need to manually restart a mission because i’m stuck on an NPC, loss of Miles’ audio track. I remember no issues with Spider-Man OG.
