When my friend told me about the new update, and how big the game was about to get, I decided to get the XBOX Game pass and join him on his adventure to becoming a Pirate Legend. I familiarized myself with the game and, within around a week, the Anniversary Update was released, promising many hours of additional content.
Tonight, we attempted to complete the Tall Tales, expecting the boss fights to be as challenging as the storyline was trying to convince us they were. Instead, we were met with 20-30 second fights with these supposedly fearsome Skeleton Lords; something we felt to be completely underwhelming. My suggestion here, is to add the ability to increase the difficulty of these boss fights, or increase their difficulty automatically with each repetition. For instance, {SPOILER ALERT} in the fight with Greymarrow, we really enjoyed the concept of his moves, especially the teleporting and when he lifts the chests and smashes them, knocking us back; however when he died so quickly, we felt as if there should have at least been another few phases to the fight. Something to make it more interesting.
Other than the lackluster difficulty of these voyages, we are absolutely loving the new update. The riddles and puzzles were exciting, and we will definitely be playing through again.
Thanks for taking this suggestion into consideration,
Reubimental
