Just published my latest First 2 Hours review on Chasm, and I'd love to hear your thoughts on this one. The game really had me torn - absolutely gorgeous pixel art but some frustrating gameplay decisions that left me scratching my head.
Quick hits:
✅ Stunning pixel art and animations
✅ Great soundtrack (especially the chiptune option)
✅ Interesting procedural generation concept
❌ Clunky combat mechanics
❌ Questionable difficulty balance
❌ Sparse save points
❌ Enemy respawn issues
Gave it 2.5/5 waffles, but I'm curious if I'm being too harsh? Maybe I just need to "git gud"? 😅
For those who've played it:
How far did you get?
Did the combat mechanics click for you eventually?

Any tips for newer players?
Worth pushing through the early game challenges?
