Am I the only one getting lost in Hexen?

I’ve been playing Hexen for a long time, but I keep finding myself lost in the Icy Caverns at the beginning. It’s super frustrating! Is it just me or does this game have confusing navigation?

Oh man, I totally felt the same way! The little I’ve played made it clear that getting lost is kinda part of the experience. I really want to dive into it more someday since I loved Heretic!

Nope, you’re definitely not alone! I struggled in the same spot when I first played. Hexen’s level design can be pretty tricky, especially in places like the Icy Caverns. It’s designed to make you explore, but that can lead to a lot of wandering around!

Exactly! The game is designed to be a bit of a maze, but that’s part of its charm. It keeps things interesting, even if it does get frustrating sometimes.

Hexen is definitely infamous for its confusing layouts. The levels can be atmospheric but also really frustrating. Honestly, if you want something less confusing, Heretic is a lot more straightforward and fun.

Yeah, I’ve noticed that! Hexen has atmosphere for days, but sometimes it feels like a chore to navigate. I appreciate the challenge, though.
