I had a claustrophobic meltdown after getting stuck in a glitch

The nightmare was real, the situation wasn’t.

Revenge of a savage planetadventures spread across many distant things – and quite savage! – Planets invite nonlinear exploration. To complete that mission and discover all its secrets, you will need to dive into an unknown place where otherworldly flora, fauna, and even inorganic materials are prepared to kill you. So, shortly after assembling an underwater scooter that allowed the robot’s sidekick to foam the depths of the alien sea, I descended into a series of caves under the rifts of Zenitia to see what was going on there. The ghosts of death I encountered were not even designed to bother me.

A sequel to Raccoon Logic Journey to a savage planetthe player is responsible for scanning all objects in every corner and assembling a thorough log of the materials found on each planet. At first, Tass (a overgrown killer) walks the park. Find the tree and scan the tree. Find a sloppy beast and scan for a sloppy beast. But counters on the map that chart your scannables will become the most difficult subtask – Can you really find all the microscanable? After completing the core mission, I realized I longed for myself. To make this truly 100% this, there were many more reasons to challenge the most attractive spaces, such as the dark underwater caves of Zenithian Lifts that absolutely do not look like they contain scannable items. But I couldn’t do not have Go there.

It took me about two seconds to realize… I made a terrible mistake. The cave was easily accessible from the water, but there were no enemies or collectible crumbs to suggest that the people that were intended for me were the intended locations of Raccoon Logic people. I was seduced by curiosity, but the joy of discovery Revenge of a savage planet I got my best. Now I was stuck. I stumbled over a graphical abnormality. This had an entrance, but no obvious exit.

in Revenge of a savage planetyou cannot return to the first location of the plane to respawn from the last save. Among the clever yet possible design choices, the game forces you to move to transporters spread across the world to shed light on the next desired location that forces you to meet new traversals. But that meant that I simply couldn’t die and proceed while I was pounding in the darkness and wanted to find a way out of the watery grave. I was actually trapped and feel like IRL in a scenario I haven’t experienced in quite a long time I was actually locked up.

I’m already not doing well on the underwater level due to the intense fear of drowsing. Luckily for me, most games throw a visual countdown lifeline to explain oxygen levels, and (1) I surface in time and (2) avoid hyperventing stress that emerges in time. Revenge of a savage planet It’s not necessary because there’s no punishment for enjoying the water. You are already in a spacesuit, but the challenges you encounter via an underwater scooter require a lot of time-consuming back and forth. Doing it all in a limited atmosphere would simply not be fun. But that meant I was stuck in this tight underwater cave and I never died. I was at Limbo. Or maybe I was in hell.

I spent too long looking for a route out. A stripe of light was blown away from the theoretical escape I could never reach – whenever I thought I was nearby, I found myself bumping into a new rock and squealing in the opposite direction. Not since I saw it rescueThe documentary derives rivets about a team of divers narrowed down through the cave passages to 12 trapped Thai footballers, my obvious claustrophobia had a path with my nerves. Except that I really wanted to do a good job, I can’t fully explain why I pushed myself up to the edge to find an in-game solution for this unintended challenge Revenge of a savage planet.

Most glitches are considered shortcuts for errors by programmers, nuisance by players, and sometimes speed runner crowds. Revenge of a savage planetThe Cave of Death may fall into the first two categories, but it is a tragic experience I ultimately appreciated, a unique screw-in that only happens in the game. Despite the 3D 3D effects and the best efforts of the 4DX Rumble sheet, I have never felt truly trapped in the film. After a final reboot Revenge of a savage planetbefore grabbing the controller, I had to give him a few minutes to keep my heart rate down. But I came back soon. Certainly, this was a glitch, but in a game where exploration is everything, I jumped into the true unknown – the game’s creators clearly weren’t trying to find me – was a form of success of its own.

Revenge of a savage planet It is currently available on PC, PlayStation and Xbox, but is currently on a game pass.
