#the final boss just doesn't take more than like 0.1% damage and I have a pretty high strength stat; maybe I'm just doing something wrong

Ok after the castle, the 2nd half of the game feels kinda short, like in actual time spent, I don't think it actually is, I just did all of the 2nd half of the game in one sitting (except the final boss) which took about 4 hours, but I also didn't fully search every single area, I pretty much just got the major secrets. It's like, fine, but I don't really have much to say about any of the post castle stuff, all of the mandatory areas afterwards are very creepy and atmospheric and scary, but in terms of like, anything other than atmosphere, uhhh they kinda just, exist. Like they're not bad, but I literally just played all of them and the only specific things I remember are the cool desert temple, and the prison that was kinda lame. 2nd half definitely took a big dip compared to the first half, which a large part of that is probably just that my interest kinda just naturally wanes the further I get into most games regardless of the actual quality of the later parts, but like, idk I feel like the 1st half just had way more interesting areas. Like almost every area in the 2nd half of the game felt really similar, like they all had a similar color palette and general vibe going for them, and the ones that were more unique were really, really short, like the lava area, I think I got through that entire area in like 15 minutes and I think I found literally every secret. Also the funni tower, the Tower of Abyss, yea it was okay, like I get the idea, and if you care about leaderboards and improving personal times it's probably cool and all but like, it was really easy, I went in expecting the last couple of floors to get really difficult but no, the difficulty was kinda pretty consistently low throughout all of it, probably because I feel like most enemies aren't that hard, aside from a few annoying ones, which a few of those did appear in the tower but never enough to actually be dangerous. Even the final floor was just another Abyss Demon which like, the first time I fought I thought it was really easy, and this time it was just the same but I know it's patterns even more like none of the enemies in this game are really interesting or difficult enough to fight individually to make a combat-focused area like that fun, it was kinda just boring, and long, and tedious. The reward was cool tho, I never used it because it's really slow and I don't like slow weapons but like, it's stats are good, it's a good weapon it shoots a magic beam that's cool! I do plan to go back and get all of the secrets and go through the rest of the optional areas I missed next, but that's like, not right now I've played this for 5 hours straight today and that's like half of my total playtime, I feel like I'll probably enjoy that next play session a lot more, because finding secrets makes my brain go "waow! :D" and this game has a lot of cool secrets. I'm gonna have to change my computer's clock to be on a full moon for one of them tho I HATE THOSE TYPES OF SECRETS WHY IS THERE AN ACHIEVEMENT ON THE STEAM VERSION OF PSYCHONAUTS FOR PLAYING ON CHRISTMAS THERE'S NOT EVEN ANY IN-GAME CHRISTMAS STUFF as far as I'm aware AND IT'S NOT A CHRISTMAS THEMED GAME FUCK YOU PSYCHONAUTS yea i don't like those secrets they're unfun :c. I'll also get to level 99 which won't be hard because I'm already level 74 and leveling is pretty easy, but I also kinda wanna get all weapons and like, :( that requires just hitting things with a bunch of useless weapons to give them exp so I can upgrade them into new weapons :(. Maybe I won't do that, maybe I'll just do the fun extra stuff I think that would be a better idea :). Also this session I did 1 attempt of the final boss. I'm not doing a 2nd one right now that fight sucks I hate that guy he has too much health, why are the 2 bosses in this game the only even somewhat difficult combat challenges and they're both just massive damage sponges that aren't even fun???? Anyways good game fun game still, 1st half definitely better than 2nd half, but 2nd half still alright honk shoo honk shoo hooooonk mimimimi zzzzzzzzzz eepy time
