    Geting to be a bit of a slog towards the end

    So I'm at the Lost Underworld, so ... 3/4 through?

    I don't know. What I really love is the tone, the world, the quirkiness. But there is no arc to speak of, there are no twists to the narrative. It's all just a straight shot towards stomping Porky into the ground, and I guess even that won't feel satisfactory, since I guess he's been brainwashed.

    A couple more sessions and I'll have it in the bag, but at this point it's starting to feel a bit pointless other than wanting to see the end. Which is disappointing, because Mother 3 had me at the edge of my seat for the entire game.

    Ok, I admit that final boss fight was a lot better, more unsettling than I thought it would be. Though to have a "trick" fight like that, that you might have to try 2-3 times before you get it, so far after the last checkpoint, is unforgivable.
