Weird that you're fighting a robot for the 100th time when there are only 6 "test of strength" shrines.

I think they’re talking about the robots in the overworld. I think it’s a poorly made critique of the small amount of enemy types.

Yeah nice try dude, there at 20 test of strength shrines (of varying difficulty). Sounds like you didn't actually complete the game.

I sure love when someone reviews a game they hardly even played.

Haha no I finished it at launch and couldn't remember the number, I knew it wasn't hundreds and looked it up. Clearly the site I checked was wrong and you're correct, it is 20. However, would you say "more often than not" a shrine is a test of strength? It's a nonsense claim.
