Bad World Design Vs. Good World Design

Bleak Faith is not a bad game... but the world design is awful. It looks amazing but will have you walking around for hours or riding 2-minute-long elevators. Alterntively, here is a game that did world design right. Chronos Before The Ashes. With all its faults it still created a much more engaging world than Bleak Faith. Bigger isn't always better.

Chronos Before The Ashes is the prequel to Remnant From The Ashes. While the first game was a first-person shooter with souls like mechanics, the prequel is vastly different. It sticks to a much more traditional style of RPG gameplay. You fight various monsters and bosses while leveling up and gaining access to new abilities. It is a single-player game consisting of a unique aging mechanic. Each time you die your character ages. Which will make you slower and have other various effects. You will need to be careful or risk making the game much harder on yourself.

The whole remnant/ chronos franchise has had me super addicted for the longest time now. I cant wait for remnant 2 to release.

I think these people just saw how big Elden Ring was and, like Ubisoft and EA before them, said "Big world mean good game. Make world big. Big world. Make now." But they didn't understand that Elden Ring's world _is_ big, but it's also alive. You can't go the length of a football field without finding an enemy, a catacomb, a cave, or a cool piece of world building. Both above ground and below are chock full of things to do, see, and kill. I played for hundreds of hours before I found the wayportal that took me up to where you can get the Dragon Halberd. It's ridiculous.

Bleak faith has some very beautiful views and the grandness is just wonderfully intimidating.

But as you said, it makes for an empty world.

You can make a world grand and beautiful without making an overly empty world. Its all about where you put your boundaries and focus. keeping the player on "rails" isn't a bad practice in these cases.

Wall of Lotheric in DS3 is an amazing example. Big views, linear and railed map.

I’ve been meaning to play bleak faith…. But I’m going to wait until things are fixed.

Good news: I ordered Chronos from the library and I can’t wait for it to get here

[lanetorty]

I feel like in the gaming world of now, bigger very rarely means better, only more alarming/suspicious

[MortSalazar]

4 hours?
Man, imagine dying for 80 years to explore a small dungeon's worth of time

For context when the hero dies in Chronos he gets tossed back to Earth and has to wait a year for portal to where he was going to open up again.

Thank you for the comment about Texas
We appreciate it

Bleak faith also straight up stole assets from other games like Elden ring, for example the special attack from the first boss weapon you get in the game is the exact same animations and effects as that one ash of war from ER (don't remember what it's called, but you do a big leap up in the air and then plung your weapon into the ground with storm effects)

It's a shame, as the game had promise. Trailer looked really cool.

[Nomadic_Gaming]

chronos was a dull slept on game the devs redid and retconned into being a prequel to remnant from the ashes since they borrowed some design aesthetics and themes from chronos for remnant

its a better game because its simple and it got remade and cleaned up overall
vs bleak faith needing more work done and being way more ambitious then chronos ever was

[undauntedaqua]

I wonder if you plan to play stray blade. I thinks it's also a souls like the just came out.

[olenholprzez]

Chronos is an old game that came out for VR first... please point this out as it explains why it's like that

[theeldenringenjoyer]

I was very interested by black faith but I saw the state of the game so I just turned down the idea to get the game.
Too bad, there could be so much more but still I give them credit for making a game of this scale with only three developers.

[NF-nvxw]

I hate the Nerud rworld. It oozes lazyness. Last boss was great tho. Throw away everything else.

[nichyatt]

My dad and i are huge remnant fans. Pre ordered remnant 2 for him and I a couple days ago and i had no idea that cronos was apart of the same world as remnant. Just found it out haha. Played through it and had a hell of a time. Wasn't very long but, the time i spent with it expanded on the world of remnant well and the story was fun. Hopefully they do another cronos game to fill in the gap between from the ashes and remnant 2.

[spiffdaddy]

If you like souls with guns >>>Dolmen<< is bad game The guns stronger then melee but melee good too

[orioncob]

Guess what Texas. You ain’t the biggest. Alaska is. You do the math. Wait y’all can’t cos yer schools are only full of football fields.

[isaacpamanes]

What do you mean?
Most of the world in Bleak Faith Forsaken is really interconnected and full of equipment to collect and even the views, the scenery and feeling of dread while exploring such massive worlds doesn’t compare to anything in the genre
