- Buy Wo Long Fallen Dynasty Review - But Be Aware of These Issues
Code from Ninja Team and XBOX. Reviewed on mostly xbox
Gamepass helps for this one.
In this Wo Long Fallen Dynasty review, we'll be looking at what the game is about, what kind of graphics you can expect, and whether or not it's worth your time and money.
Before we get started, I want to mention a few things. First of all, Wo Long Fallen Dynasty is not for everyone. Its a Dark Souls action game with. Secondly, the game does have some technical issues.

Video instantly demonotized and review request failed. That was sort of expected. But it shows hat things like "dont show violence for the first 30 seconds and such" is and always has been a farce.
Can't say the game isn't odd and enjoyable and weird and fun lol. Kinda like all of us.

So what is with the last 90 second black screen (18:25-20:01 approx)? Is that some editing mistake, a joke i didn't get (like about not wasting my time...), or YT just geobanned that part in my country somehow?
Damn RUclips become worse for creators. Wild.
Didn't understand your posting
@@alex.starostin
Don't understand yours either
@@Boris82 why was the video demonotized as he says? What violence is he talking about?? 😂
"The voice acting is great if you think the height of voice acting was ThunderCats and heavy breathing." This line cracked me up!
Thanks for the thorough review, as always!
"My brand is me. My sponsor is me. This is Karak with ACG." ❤️❤️❤️
Keep that!!
That was fire ngl
Sponsors make you more money 🤷🏻♂️
@@ertai222 sponsors make you a spineless corrupt propaganda machine
They somehow made the Nioh 2 menu UI even more convoluted with stats and those chart colors look awful
I had no trouble with Nioh 2 but yeah...this is sadly a backstep
That sounds traumatic lol
Isn't that what happens every iteration of Souls like games?
Maybe it's the game pass quality guarantee lol
@@RicFF13 nah, i played the demo and its way worse lol but game is fun
After playing the demo, I had a really fun time (I suffered performance issues on my 3070 that vanished after I capped to 60). I understand ACG's review on the game and am worried about the longevity of it especially since people complained that the stance system is gone. However, I'm also the guy that played both Nioh games for the setting and aesthetic and as someone who grew up playing Dynasty Warriros, the Three Kingdoms setting + souls-like formula is something that really interests me. I had no problem with the voice acting since I can just read english and listen to either Chinese or Japanese. I'm quite excited.
Yeah the demo had performance issues like a 60 fps cap but the frametimes were quite bad with constant dips and I have a higher end build. The release version has 120 fps cap and while not perfect as far as frametimes go it's way better and quite enjoyable. I'm liking it.
same here i'm a 3K nerd because of dynasty warriors so this game is right up my alley
It appears that you're coping lmao
I share your sentiments. The ancient Chinese theme is a favorite of mine, the Han dynasty most of all! Souls games look amazing, but I never had the skill for them. Having an easier version like this is just what I need as an introduction for the genre.
You are one of the few reviewers I trust and have been 98% accurate as to what I enjoy, thank you so much for your hard work and putting these reviews together, you saved me money and disappointment and have also introduced me to games I would have overlooked, so thank you very very much!
I would not base a whole purchase on a single person opinion, this is his personal opinion and you could feel differently if you play the game, watching reviews is important of course, but i would consider try the demo, the game looks like hella fun and the bad things that the reviewer points out you maybe wouldn't even noticed them. Not every game has to be a masterpiece to be a good game.
"Voice acting is excellent if you consider the height of voice acting to be Thundercats and heavy breathing!" HAHAHAH! This is why I come to ACG!
Awesome review, thank you for your efficient and excellent work on this. Been super excited to play this and happy I saw your video pop up first on my feed!
Will you ever review Wanted:Dead? Been dying to know your thoughts and analysis on it! 🙌
I feel like the caveat to this being an “easier” Soulslike is going to be how well that you can use the parry mechanic. If you’re good at identifying the timing and rhythm of enemy combos, you can trivialize a lot of the content. If you can’t? Hope that you bought controller insurance.
That's kind of why I don't want to get this game. If it's anything like sekiro, it becomes a boring joke when you become literally untouchable.
Or don’t be one of those weirdos who throws controllers about like an angry child.
@@GordKeen you’re untouchable in every souls game at a certain point…..
@@GordKeen any souls game becomes a boring joke when you master parrying
@@GordKeen it GAMEPASS BB ❤
After beating the demo I placed my order on Steam, despite the stutters (which were dreadful) I had fun with it and the South African pricing was quite fair. The day after I pre-ordered the base price increased to over the previous Deluxe Edition pricing, and the base price is more in line with Elden Ring, which I think is a major misstep given the issues (and support saying "we can't promise that we'll fix these issues")
I did have an issue with voice volume, whether stereo or surround, at the start of the demo blindfold guy was yapping away and I couldn't here anything he said and of course in battle not bothering to keep up with the subtitles, something is not quite right with the voice volume during gameplay for me.
As always thanks for the great reviews! Looking forward to potential Last of Us Part 1 (PC) and Resi 4 reviews :D
I was confused with the demo. Were you supposed to defeat that big lion/tiger? That thing was like a lvl 20
@@trippyChief I think there is a path in the other direction that leads to more enmies and then a first boss, thast where im up to now but im playing what i assume is the full game througgh game pass right now. That tiger thing is wayyy too hard but i get whyt ehy had it there to mess with you.
@@trippyChief so the tiger thing in the demo my suggestion would be to level up and get a spell or two, the npc guy distracts it quite a lot. Also if you're close it'll try it's combo which is a bit intense to dodge, further away it'll try lunge which is also slightly dangerous but perhaps slightly easier to parry
Hey ACG! :) I was wondering if you attributed the difficulty of the game towards the use of A.I allies in battle? Does the game scale with the use of allies? Thanks my man!
How tf did this get demonetized? It's a clean review (as always). I call shenanigans.
I think the only downside you mentioned that bothers me is failed inputs. I had that happen in the demo pretty often for healing and its pretty annoying. Hope they can address that quickly.
💀 yea that would be irritating.
It never happened to me
waiting until they patch that otherwise is a huge no
The only downside you mentioned that bothers me is unpredictable miss input. Everything else, like morale , Nioh-like complex system, etc. are actually plus to me. Having feeling that I’m really going to enjoy this one 😮
"miss input"... I felt when playing the Demo so many times that I hit the Parry button, but still got hit nonetheless. I thought the timing must be very tight and thought that difficulty of pressing the button in such a tiny time window is way to hard for me. So I guess it might be that miss input, didn't happen allot but it did happen.
@@Momoka7 Same thing for me. Sometimes the parry just did not initiate despite clearly pressing it. Whether against normal or red special attacks.
I found that the more offensive you are in the first area the easier it is. Rushing in like an idiot rewards you
miss inputs are a huge no go, until they fix that is a no here :/
@@wwhdhdhxnx I haven't had a single miss input myself
I have so much fun with this one. The deflect mechanic is something to get used to and focus on and i got used to it after dying multiple times during the first few hours lmao
Stuttering and input lag in a fast paced game like this can be rage-inducing. Thanks for the review. May get this after patches and a sale

Thanks for the great review, as always. I'm still playing this day 1 but this review helps me set expectations on what to expect from the game.
I'm a straight up sucker for hack n slash games. This game and Space Marine 2 are at the top of my list for 2023 definitely picking up.
This was going to be a first day purchase but the demo and now this review changed my mind to a wait for sale. Thank you !
I just want a Nioh 3!
I'm still excited about this. I used to play all the Dynast Warriors, so I am looking forward to running into some characters I may recognize
Awesome review as always. I’m a massive fan of Nioh, and when I played the demo I fell in love. Honestly, just give me a decent story with some familiar but a teeny bit different gameplay that works, and I’m in. I’ll be playing this for a long while.
Naaaaahh!!! Don't play it because we don't want/need your purchase to succeed, so stay away, but thank you my friend.
Sorry, GAMEPASS ❤❤
@@twitch-xjuiceboxtwitch2088 Yeah, I had it downloaded on Gamepass, too. But, if I'm able to buy a copy, then I'm buying it. Gets annoying when I want to play something that I had on gamepass only to find out later that it's not there anymore.
@@shen-long9082 Did you make this account just to comment this
Isnt the first boss the one in the demo? I never used dodge... only parry
Me seeing the thumbnail.
‘Do not pursue Lu Bu’
Great review. I'm buying it. I love anything resemble souls games or dynasty warriors era.
Just finished the demo and had a lot of fun plus this game got me interested in the three kingdoms era. Already pre ordered this and might give sekiro another shot
I like a bit of story and interesting locations with exploration. So this is a deep sale for me. Great review as always
I think I preferred the audio sample when you mention them in the vid, rather than the end.
...I don't know if we can say the voice acting is bad, if you only listened to it in English? I mean...this is a Chinese inspired game, it's default language is Chinese when you first play it. I would even take a guess, the Japanese voice acting would be much better, because it is made by a Japanese company. I like your videos Karek, but don't you think this is a bit of a strange thing to nitpick? we don't expect western games like assassins creed to have stellar Chinese voices. Why should we expect Wo long to have good english voice acting? (Honest question)
The fact you completely summarize in the title speaks volumes to your integrity and character. I do thoroughly push your reviews onto friends.
So glad I don't have a shallow, pushy friend like you to push your dumb biases.
lmao
I've been playing the recent demo quite a lot. I'm a huge fan of Nioh and this feels like a dessert to the Nioh 1/2 main course - like a warm, familiar place but with enough variance and novelty to keep me interested. I'll definitely get it somewhere down the line.
Really a demo feels like a dessert? No way... I like ACG but he tends to only briefly play games, not based on New game +. Nioh 2 was also super easy until you unlocked the hardest modes.
Your description allowed me to skip the game entirely.
Sounds like a complete lack of innovation, with distractions of minor novelty.
@@escapedcops08I'd try the demo if you can it's pretty good
Man. I'm really looking forward to this game, but I do not like that HUD or UI at all
Not so sure about the easy souls game part. Game seems difficult enough for me. I find elden ring to be more approachable. I see small windows for dodge and perfect parry vs elden ring or bloodborne. Maybe I just live in backwards land idk
Hey I really liked your Atomic Heart review. I almost didn't get the game because of another reviewer I like who didn't recommend it, but you did so I got it.
Afterwards I noticed that you where playing the game as an immersive sim using all its systems while the other reviewer was trying to play it like a Doom game.
I dont know why I posted that here, but I'm just saying I respect your reviews more than anyone else.
He does go in depth and usually plays the games as Intended and why he usually avoids the frustrations of rush through the game bros to get reviews out.
Great review. All i heard was “wait until it goes on sale”
Fantastic video and very good explaining how the game works. 👍 But with the many problems you explaining. Will the develpers do something about this problems? And is this game a good game fort a beginner from Darksouls games? Thank you very much for this great video👍
Damn, the heal button not working consistently was my biggest gripe with the demo. I think I'll wait for a couple of patches before buying.
i did play the final demo 4times ... i didnt experience this problem not one time ... (PS5) ...
They fixed it in the second demo, it was bad in the first demo but I’ve beat the second demo twice now and didn’t notice any issue with healing…..edit:well I didn’t notice it in the second demo.
Never had this issue
Do you write your own scripts? They’re always so good! You pack so much info in such a short space and it’s always really entertaining. Even with this games problems I’m looking forward to playing it.
No i don't write 'em myself but thank u nonetheless.
@@shen-long9082 lil bro thinks he is on the team 💀💀
He is just talking. There is no script
5:25 So... this "buttons won't work sometimes"... does this also happen to the parry button? Because I played the Demo and I could swear I pressed the Parry and still got hit.
I like this guys reviews actually allows you to go build your own opinion rather than trying to set their opinion of how they feel about the game into you
Demo didn't launch for me at all so I hope the full game has that issue fixed.
Thanks for the review Karak!
HAHHA upgrade ur PC dude! LOL! theres a reason it didnt launch!
What's your specs darkholow?
@@angelodewit2197 Above minimum reqs. Steam was full with people with PC's mid to high that had the same issue.
You're not gonna tell me that this game won't run on my PC when I run Hogwarts at 45fps on medium settings (it has higher reqs than this game) and Nioh 1&2 ran at 60fps. (i5 2500k OC'ed at 4Ghz, 980, 16gb ram is what I got).
@killvhin others were having the same issues with higher pcs too idiot.
@@Darkholow Exactly! this guy is just full of himself he's a spoiled brat
It's strange being here so early for a ACG review
I thought the same
With regards to weapon switching, it’s possible to quickly switch at-will/mid-combo by pressing R1+O
Yep show it r
My own personal comments you ACG, regarding the review. I know gamepass exists, but for me personally I'd prefer if your conclusions are given still in regards to whether its worth a buy, rent or wait for sale. Thats because I pay gamepass for some time and then stop it when I see no games worth it. A game rated as buy pr wait for sale, to me, speaks louder as to how worthy a game is. When it's on gamepass well, your review really wouldn't matter since I could just try it out myself.
Just speaking out my own preference for your reviews.
Thanks for the video
Hard pass for me. They failed with this one.
Should have stick with a Nioh 3 plan. First hyped game i”ll gladly pass this year
Yep
The first demo was really good imo and convinced me to try it even if the second demo wasn't so good
This is one of those times that I think game pass comes in clutch. Because there’s no way I would spend full price on this title but I also don’t wanna play it two years down the road.
Same with Atomic Heart.
Did ACG really just bust a freestyle in the beginning lol
I’ve been playing since Tuesday. Walmart put it out early lol kudos to them. Having a blast with it
Absolutely loved the demo. Combine that with its Three Kingdoms setting and it was a preorder for me. I look forward to playing it this weekend.
Demo 1 was fantastic while the second one was solid but not as good imo

Team Ninja’s boring level design makes me worried for their open world game (“shadow of the Ronin” or wtvr it’s called)
Modern team Ninja has been bad at level design since Ninja Gaiden 3
Rise of tge Ronin
@@abc4781 tganks
I don’t remember them ever being really good at level design. The most impressed I’ve been in regard to this is Ninja Gaiden 2. The futuristic city blew kid me away but they’ve never really been good at level design.
Any info on the PC version quality? The demo ran kinda crappy to me there.
Thanks for making a fairly unbiased review; some aspects of games will always be subjective. I subbed tho, I like that you go to the point :)
It's kinda crazy. The character creator is next level compared to the game's general presentation.
I'll get it anyway cos I like Team Ninja - and I'm happy to have just any souls kinda experience right now.
Good review from the big man as usual.
It's because this character creator is reused in multiple games. Dynasty Warriors, Wild Hearts, Nioh, this. They all use the same one.
i fucking love team ninja yoooooooooooo high five
@@hihihi1q23 i can make my own characters in dynasty warriors? (never played them)
Souls games are mostly soulless, bland and boring titles. Sekiro is the only souls-like that's even kind of good. I'll bet you're one of those dummies that thinks Elden Ring is a masterpiece.

@@ShallowDepression shhh let me have this bro
So after playing the demo once yesterday, I struggled against the first boss for about a couple of minutes.
I ended up parrying every one of his attacks, I don’t think the bodes well with the difficulty.
Of course it’s the first boss, I ended up parrying the attacks of the next two bosses.
Parrying is super op.
You just demonstrated the first boss's intention.
Thx for putting the procs and cons on the screen. A nice touch!
As always, thank you for the great review. I will be waiting on this now. I needed nioh 3 and the demo was definitely disappointing. Not bad but won't be paying full price for it.

Yep same here. Wanted nioh 3, not extremely discount nioh
Strange. The first review I found really emphasized how much the game pushes you to use the Parry over the Dodge.
i think by the dodge he means the parry, since they are both on the same button
One of my only issues with this game was that dodging felt largely useless since you can block or parry any attack in the game as it is. But it’s fun and that’s what matters to me.
@@TheHonyar That could be it.
Let me know. I can't buy this game with It being parry only
@bombyo3634 i mean u can still use the dodge, it has I frames but parrying red attacks is still very important
Hmm thought ACG’s gonna start rapping for a brief moment at the beginning. Lol
Excellent thorough review from ACG - As Always! Thanks for your hard work Karak 🖤💛🖤
I really love this studio animation it is just smoth and nice to the eyes
Really interesting review. Enjoyed the last demo a lot but obviously that’s just a couple of hours. Hopefully some of the issues can be eased through feedback and updates…

Can't wait to check this out day one on gamepass. I played the beta and it seemed promising then.
If u move to new Zealand u can play now 😂
Its also on game pass? Good god, too much to Play
Do the New Zealand trick
@BeThomsen I know, they just added M&B: Bannerlord 2 and I also really want to play that. The first one was awesome.

@@malazan6004 I think/hope so too -- that's their elden ring
That final fantasy was hot 🔥 garbage 🗑 😒
Something. I mean compared to nioh 2 be a masterpiece and stranger of paradise being a flop of a game. Well needless to say this a stranger of paradise reskin. End game is the most boring of their games. Here go try and get some 5* gear but it's so rare that you can't even make a set with it. Thanks? I guess. Break into ng+ in nioh 2, you get new enemies to fight and better loot. Nope not here. I mean there's like 6 enemy types. Trying to get a critical blow with multiple enemies.. Oh yeah good luck there. Hard enough to switch to the target let alone you take a hit and makes it so you can't get the blow
whats with the 3 minutes of a black screen? Btw very good review. im still buying it because i loved nioh and the demo of wo long.
I’m currently dealing with a MASSIVE issue with this game, making it unplayable, got it for PS5 a day early and have been playing it through today. The deflect and dodge share the same button and for the first 4 hours there were no issues.
However, now every time I press ‘O’ it only dodges so I’ve had to fight a few bosses without having the option to deflect. Incredibly frustrating. What’s MORE annoying is that I moved back into the tutorial section to see if it was something I was doing wrong but now I can’t leave the tutorial without completing it. It asks me to deflect and my character just won’t do it. I’ve tried adjusting the controls but ‘Dodge / Deflect’ share the same binding no matter where you move it to.
This game has been so fun to playthrough I’m just so frustrated with this issue. Praying for a quick patch fix.
I might be mistaken but from my time with the demo it seems that your equip load determines if you can deflect or not. I was stuck with only rolling too and noticed my equip load was red. After equipping lighter equipment I could deflect again. I guess it works with only green/yellow equip load?
YOU SIR! Thank you so much I feel like an idiot. God I could’ve saved my self quite a few deaths! Thank you!!!!
@@jaresteph Anytime! I'm glad it worked out. Enjoy! :D
No idea what's going on but between this and Stranger of Paradise it really seems like this team is taking multiple steps back. I can't believe how poorly these games run when they don't even look like they would come close to stressing last gen systems.
Yeah.. It’s a bit odd right? I think they have been siphoning more team members for rise of ronin as they game is now in its last year of development.
Nioh 2 has a damn 120fps mode lol no idea why these run so bad.
@@morriganrenfield8240 now if ya play with it more focused to frame rate that choice smooths game while other legit makes it so that the story is focused so playing with the priorities for frame rate seems to fix the issue for me I was having huge trouble with the story prioritized and the first boss legit is a skill check but he is a skill check to make sure you know how to use block and deflect
Thanks for the review, I'll be playing this on game pass!
Always appreciate your reviews! Been watching for a very long time now. Thank you for your honesty!
They did want you to rely on blocking they wanted to maintain the elegance of Chinese martial arts. Deflection is a good deal apart of that.
So this game is only worth it if you play on Gamepass? That’s equivalent to a Wait for Sale then.
Exactly
I like the style of this game, but some of the pitfalls that you mentioned are making me a bit doubtful. Especially when it comes to the repetition. Gamepass helps in this regard. At least I'll give it a try eventually.
Love ACG reviews, and can't comment on most of the opinions here. But playing the intro level, I absolutely think the first boss is a skill check and is really not that easy. I may be bad, but I have finished every Fromsoft game and most other soulslikes and it's at least a challenge. It is also testing the players grasp of the deflect mechanic, which is the definition of a skill-check boss
I happened to encounter the hp flask lag earlier today, unpleasant as you'd think it is.
My only issue with the beta was the menu UI looking straight out of a windows Vista presentation, absolutely ugly. Gameplay though was quick and tight and really enjoyable once I got the hang of it. On series X I got serious stutters from time to time during battle, I hope they fix that. I have it preloaded from gpu and looking forward to play it again.
Congratulations to 800k subscribers!
Pressing heal button and it not responding is something I've encountered in every soulslike, animation cancelling usually doesn't work.
Somehow I have been confusing this with Black Myth: Wu Kong…until i saw your review and realised this isn’t the game I’ve been waiting for. Thanks ACG!
That games a while off. trust me, when Black myth is about to drop, you’ll know.
I sometimes doubt that game even exists. It looks so fake each time I see it. Hopefully it's not another the day before situation.
Same!
I've been thinking this was Black Myth for like the last two months haha...
Speaks volumes for how ubiquitous games like this are becoming unfortunately.
Thanks for the review, I kept my hopes in check for this one and I'm glad I did. I don't have game pass so I'll definitely be waiting on a deep sale. I've heard it's only 30 hours long which is surprising to me. That ui looks terrible and I'm also surprised about the difficulty, It definitely looks like they took 2 steps forward and 3 steps back when comparing it to nioh. Keep up the good work ACG. 👍
Game pass not an option? Get to try the game at a low cost
@@DarthAscension I only have a ps5 or I would have game pass.
Game pass doesn’t give the steak achievements so I never use it. Always buy on steam myself
18:24 its suddenly black and no sound until the end. DMCA?
Normally I jump on Souls-likes like they're grenades and I'm honorably saving my comrades from a certain, explodey death, but I think I'm gonna wait on this one. Not that it doesn't look awesome. I'm sure I would love it, but there are just too many games to play and I have so little time. Gotta make cuts somewhere.
Unlocks at 4pm on gamepass for me. I'll give it a try for sure edit: great review as usual. I think I'll enjoy the game
Just know the first boss is absolutely fucking insanely challenging. After that boss 2/3 were cake. I think it's why I enjoyed the demo so much. I felt such so accomplished after that first boss lol.

That's literally perfect. I found stances and ki pulses to be extremely irritating and flow-disrupting. Just my experience with it.@@malazan6004
Does it have Chinese audio ? and is it better to play like that with subs? I feels wierd to me that setting in English like the Yakuza games I have to play in Japanese to fully immerse myself
Yeah, it has chinese dub which I really recommend over the awful english one

I've played through the demo twice on Series X and had zero crashes or performance issues
Played through on Series X.
Only thing I encountered, were slight framerste/stability dips here and there…
@@__G___ I think it's great can't wait for the full release, kinda jelly of Gamepass not gonna lie 🤣
lucky you because this games looked and ran terribly on my ps5
@@JESSEPINKMAN74 literally just bought a ps5 for psvr2, kinda bummed i have to go back to the series x so quick lol but hey I have everything now cant complain
15:50 Damn, that room forgot shadows exist.
Im still at the early stages of the game but its pretty fun so far. Theres not a ton of exploring to do but theres enough for me. Combat is definitely more of the focus here and i love how the systems reward you for playing aggressively. I feel like they should have done what Sekiro did and map block and deflect/parry to the same button. Tap to deflect/parry, hold to block. Now the O button can be just be tied to dodge, no need for double tapping. Blocking feels so useless in this game anyways I barely ever use L1 at all.
Easier than any others? I found first boss in demo harder than in many other games, especially Nioh.
I felt that in the beta. Nioh you can just dodge your way out of just about everything but Wo seems to force you to use the dreadful block.
@@chickmagnetwampaone I don't even use the block. for the latest demo, I felt the game just want you to dodge and parry. Blocking never came to mind after that.
@@chickmagnetwampaone your supposed to parry what are talking about
I was really hoping they would’ve FURTHER scaled back the constant loot drops and overwhelming gear stats from Nioh
Totally agree. Was hoping less loot and more interesting locations. Seems like these aspects did not improve from
Nioh 2.
yea, that is probably my biggest gripe with those games, although I did enjoy them for the most part.
It feel like the same system as nioh W
Its gonna be deep deep sale for me thanks for the amazing work
Nice review. Time for Team Ninja/Tecmo to reinvent themselves again. I feel like they do this. They had Ninja Gaiden which was good but it went down the same path ultimately. They reinvented themselves with Nioh and copying the soulslike genre and are going down the same path. Not a bad developer. But they definately seem to follow trends as far as the industry is concerned as much as they set trends. They get the main things right as far as the action genre but their games become a mess after a while. Not as good or bad as some developers. They are one of the good guys and middle of the road even still.
I really enjoyed the Demo a lot. Sekiro is my favorite and I liked Nioh a lot. I also love warriors games.
This game hits the perfect sweet spot between all those games for me.
This was going to be a day 1 buy for me, but those bugs.... thanks for the heads up, helpful review as always.
It’ll still be fun and patched out
@@Maikeru101 😂😂😂😂
You're my favorite reviewer ever. Thanks as always for the format and awesomeness
Thanks for the review, man! I didn't play the demo, but everyone was real excited about this. But every time I saw it, I just didn't think it looked that fun. Good to know it's fun, but maybe I'll wait for a sale to see if they fix any of the issues. I was also wondering if the Game Pass version is the XBox version. They did that with Atomic Heart, which was a weird thing to do.
I beat the demo with only fists! I got the title for it, streamed it on twitch but I didn’t know you had to activate something to save streams :(
It was very hard and took me forever to beat the second boss of the game but at the same time it was very enjoyable for me
