Portals of Phereon is a sandbox-type game, so in a sense it's normal to be lost. There's plenty of shit to discover and do, and the "objective/win condition" is just so far away that you will look at things and think "i have no idea what i'm doing, and i don't even know what i'm doing it for either". That's the sandbox.I tried to play the game but...... i am honestly 100% lost... i got no idea what to do at all....
Now, getting into the game i'd say find something in it you enjoy. do you like the art style and want to fill the 400+ image gallery? do you like the hexagonal-space turn-based combat and push its limits? are you trying to breed a god-like unit that can one-shot the entire enemy team and give you unlimited bragging rights? Wanna get rich? do you want to date all the NPCs? Become the number one pimp in the land?
Each aspect of the game feeds into the others, so you'll learn bit by bit just by trying stuff. Don't think about winning your first game... because in fact, NOTHING happens if you lose. Nothing. you can go on playing, you just don't check that little "completed the story" box.
So, just discover things for a bit and try various stuff, and people on the forum will be there for the technical questions and the "how do i" type of stuff. There isn't really a writable guide when the gameplay options and paths to success are so broad.
