The game is fun, and the combat is very engaging. I only have two problems with it:

There is no map, so I often don't know where I am or where I've been. It would be super helpful if this game had a map.

There are no missions or anything to tell you what to do next or where to go. It kind of just throws you into the world and expects you to explore on your own. I mean, I get it if that's what they were going for with an open-world game, but I'm so lost right now.

Despite the confusion, I still leave this review positive. I'm going to keep at it, and maybe somehow I'll finish it.

also the music in this game is just so fire I wish they would sell it

This game is great. It has so kuch potential for further expansion on the concepts and mechanics. Just push through the first hour. Its really rough. Once you get to the sester, it becomes much better.
Please do Mortal Shell 2. This time:
1. Improve introduction world building and motiviation. Why are we here. What binds me to this game and its world?
2. More shells and weapons. Variety is key. Also more areas and bosses.
3. Make the main hub easier to access after the tutorial area. It should be a straight forward path, and not a maze. First playthrough I went the wrong direction and ended up in the tenple before reaching the tower. ALT+F4 and didnt play for a year. Decided to give it another go. Found the main hub and now I love it.

Wasted potential, too short and repetitive. Movement and weapons feel sluggish, final boss is a total dissapointment.
