Thanks! Your challenge serves as a great inspiration. ☺ So far things are going well, and I’m taking my time. I’m in no hurry and really just want to enjoy the game.

Good luck, Cary! :) There’s nothing quite like the feeling of having finished a game you’ve been meaning to finish in a long time. I should know since I’m doing the challenges I’ve made for the whole rest of the year. Can’t wait to hear your progress!

Urg, I was afraid of that. The visors, as helpful as they are, are my least favorite things in the game. They take up too much screen real estate once on and it’s hard for me to focus on what I’m supposed to be looking/aiming at. But thanks for the tip; I’ll be sure to spend more time using them.

There’s still some battles to come yet, but the enemies are pretty cool. I would suggest getting familiar with how combat using your visors works though. You’ll definitely need it in the future.
