This piece of fucking shit. I'm in a shit mood to so I'll vent.

This fuckin game. This MOTHER FUCKING game. It'll make you wish you were playing Festers Quest. I don't even know where to start. I've just completed it after 13 and a half hours, and thats using walkthroughs and Youtube videos as a reference.

I'll start from the beginning. So you play as Fester on a quest to save Pubert the baby. You start in a forest area with a few of the other Addams. Immediately the first dungeon you are expected to go to is hidden cryptically behind some big ass trees. This is a common occurence. By the way if you didn't talk to Gomez to obtain the map (which is called a fucking journal in this game) then you have literally missed out on the map for the entire game. However don't worry, because the map is literally fucking useless. It shows a collection of boxes kind of like a Zelda dungeon map, however sometimes you move from one screen to the next and it doesn't change your location on the map. Sometimes it shows an exit where there isn't one etc. There are no landmarks or any detail on the map, just squares, and the game is about the same size as Link to the past.

That can't be so bad right? I'll just memorize where I'm going and where I've been. Oh but wait, there's also barely any distinguishable landmarks in the gamd either. Meaning you could be in a Swamp area on the complete West or East side of the map, and they'll both look like the same fucking area. This is repeated ten fold. These swamp areas are the worst for it, everything looks exactly the same and the areas are pretty big. I often spent half hour just trying to find my fucking way back out.

So anyway you go in the first dungeon and face the first boss. You start with 3 skulls which are your health bar. You know how in Zelda when if you have the Master Sword and full hearts you can shoot beams? (continued below)
