mega Blue Prince spoilers

spoiler
I was kinda underwhelmed by the ending (finding the blue picture book is the intended ending for most players IMO). I've played a couple puzzle games like this with super in-depth, layer after layer games, and with that kind of thing I'm generally expecting a pretty large and satisfying conclusion. In Blue Prince, there's really not that much past room 46, despite how early it is. You don't make any kind of effort against the evil government. You don't know where your mom is beyond "South" or if she's even alive. 90% of the shit Alzara hints at is just nothing. There's not even an eighth letter.

I couldn't help comparing it to Void Stranger, which is much better about giving you satisfying rewards for the puzzles. It's still a decent game, but it has the potential to be great and missed it, which is a shame. Also it wiped my save, which probably soured my experience quite a bit lol
