Glad to see this thread maintaining traction, and a few more people picking up the game. I managed to beat the Old Monk second try (almost first try but I wasn't prepared for a boss fight to start and even though I tried warping back to the shrine, the animation takes so long I ended up being forced to fight).

That unlocked me a new mechanic for exploration. I remembered a few places where this could be used, and traveled around collecting some items, but there are most certainly areas I just don't remember. The one I remembered most led to my third Headless boss. I was completely out of confetti for this one, but I think my stats were upgraded enough to where it wasn't too difficult with just the terror-removing item.

Now I've got 16 vitality and 8 attack power, and 9 healing sips. I also found two more prayer beads (one in a super clever location that seemed to require me to jump out of the water to get enough height to grapple into a building).

I really want to play more today, but I'm trying to limit myself to a couple hours per day so I don't finish it too quickly. We'll see how that holds up.

As for GotY? For me, this and RE2 remake are fine contenders. I played through RE2 remake three times, but it is a shorter game. Maybe once I finish this game I'll be able to make a decision.
