I'm playing GoW R Valhalla, and as much as I love the added story, I absolutely loathe the gameplay loop. I think it's my first rougelike and honestly, it's going to be my last.
I really just don't know what to do... I think I've completed the loop twice? Everything after that has me dying either at the final encounter or pre-final encounter even with 2 resurrection stones. Maybe I'm just not spending enough mid-run but every single buff I have the option of choosing is just not great for the final encounter at all.
It's a very frustrating experience because it doesn't feel like I'm making any ground at all.
