    • @InnerSunshine

      Agree. What attracts me is unlike Spiders and many other devs, this dev, like Ninja Theory, is highly focused on making the combat make sense and feel rewarding. Their theory seems to be if the gameplay combat isn't working, what's the point? This has integrity for me; especially, since I'm so bad at combat in most games.

      So let me get this straight. Gamers have been asking for 'good old single-player video ass video games,' and journalists have been calling the current trend of high-fidelity gaming 'unsustainable.' Now, there's a developer offering that for almost half the price of a normal AAA title, and gamers are like, '7/10, what garbage.' Yeah, this is not going to end well for the industry.

    I somewhat enjoyed the demo of this on PC. The performance was pretty gnarly though and with very few options to alter the graphics (you basically get the same menu as you do in the PS5 with performance/quality and little else). The unblockable attacks being telegraphed (the red dot) midway through animations was a little annoying too, as you would react to the animation and then you're already committed to an attack/block when the red dot suddenly appears. Oh and the shield mobs (in the demo at least) has a near instant shield bash, which was likewise frustrating.

I think games like this are like a devs first steps and I think if they get to work again they can really churn out something solid.

      If that tiny price increase was to much it's probably best you left . Cause you obviously don't know how much games cost anymore

      @reapersasmr5483 And if you look on recently added to gamepass, do you think it's a good month and justified a price increase? The latest game is Valorant. It's already free, mate
