I would like to let everyone know that the developers have been pumping out a remarkable amount of hotfixes, literally one a day at this point, and they have ironed out a lot of bugs. Durability has been a point they have been working on, essentially making tools and such have a lot more durability, and they have also been working on the stuttering and lagging problems as well. It's not perfectly fixed yet, but they are being proactive with making the game as good as can be and are actively listening to the community for the fixes.
Instead of doing hotfixes after release, it would be so cool to have a FINISHED game before releasing it..
@@MzAbbyxz it’s not an official release… 🤦🏻♂️
@@MzAbbyxz lol is early access, so they have not fully released it. paying attention I see
@@MzAbbyxz its an early acces, genius
I think the game might be pretty close to release so this is the perfect way to early access a game. Small pay for early levels. You get feedback from people about balancing/bugs & you keep releasing something daily. It's smart@@MzAbbyxz
Game is honestly so much fun, the game got a balance patch in the first 24 hours and they clearly care about this game. Money well spent in my book.
They fixed 3 problems he brought up in this video alone, more food, less durability loss, more repair powder, stamina cost reduction across the board. Think hes loving it now probably
Ah, that explained why I did not experience those things when I played today.
I was hesitant to buy it but knowing this, my wallet just may have to fork over the $40.
Ye same 😂 @@OnMyLunchBreak07
Dude, 99% of negative stuff about this game can be summed up to "too difficult", "doesn't run on my computer", and "can't rebind buttons".
Played 4 hours so far and yes, I can understand how people will find this hard, but I've died three times and two were fall damage and one was a glitch. Am I going to say "just get good, noobs"? No. I will offer help.
Protip: If the game is too difficult you can create a new Realm and farm items in the first location (with your already made character). You can sell for money to buy stuff or craft more healing items.
Protip 2: If you have low health and are near a Cerim Whisper, touch it then remove your gear and die to fall damage and you will return with full health. Full heal without using food.
I tested both of these and they are viable options if you're having trouble with the game. Good luck. This game is AWESOME so far and I cannot wait for full release. I hope they don't make it too easy to appease everyone.
@@blad... Wow great tips that might get missed buried in this thread. I suggest making a new comment where you also encourage others to share their tips
God I love water color graphics in gaming. It's such a pretty style of animation.
Facial expressions are perfect, it's a cheat code as opposed to trying to mocap everything like LA Noire but you'd end up burning through money with the internet still meme your product.😂
I wouldn't call these watercolors. Maybe pastel, but even then, not really...
Ah...Bastion my love, you got me addicted to this shit.
Torchlight first came to my mind when I saw this.

Style wise and animation wise this game looks immaculate
Water color is such a gorgeous graphic style.
Why you guys always gross? If you want to immaculate then immaculate by yourself. This is like that time I was called serendipitous.. perverts everywhere
It looks fine, but it's a “git gud” game targeting greasy soulslike basement dwellers who have time to learn every dodge move for months on end. I don't want a game forcing you to spend days learning one boss. The game is way too tedious, player reviews are mostly negative as a result.
@@sophieedel6324Its not hard deal with your skill issues.

Visually and aesthetically it’s incredibly beautiful. It looks like it has a great base to make something special

In a time where AAA studios are stepping on every rake in the garden. Gotta love the quality of these $40 games coming out and absolutely showing how it's done.
I loved the Ori games, and this game looks amazing, and from what i've seen of the game play is pretty unique.
I bought it, but busy playing other stuff right now so happy to let them cook till I get round to this.. and i'm excited for when I do.
Maybe it's because the smaller studios don't have to placate to shareholders and all that
It is NOT a time like that. What a dumb and clueless comment by someone who clearly does not play anything. We just came off 2023 widely regarded as the best year of gaming since the legendary 2013, and 2024 could shape up to be even better. Every single level of development is doing fantastically.
@@cenciende9401For every good and awesome AAA game there's an equally shittier AAA game. Though I don't fully agree with the statement you can just look at dragons' dogma 2, great game but the microtransaction stuff is really scummy. There's plenty of other examples
@@cenciende94012023 best year in gaming since 2013? Wasn’t there a statistic recently that said the majority of games being played are old games(at least 6yrs old)?I guess games released in 2023 weren’t that good.
@@cenciende9401Hey Cenciende, I hope you're alright. Your comment suggests some emotional difficulties. Let's keep this RUclips space clean and constructive, this is a site that we all can enjoy when critiquing properly (^^)
The ori series was the most beautiful games I ever played. The animation, story and music were FLAWLESS and only enhanced the gameplay.
The Ori games are fantastic. I’m choosing to be optimistic.
This is nothing like Ori. Ori is accessible, this game is not. This game has major difficulty issues and has a lot of tedious and clumsy elements to it. The review scores are pretty bad as a result.
@@sophieedel6324 Just wait until full version. I know they will deliver us a masterpiece like ori games.
@sophieedel6324 Did you play ori? That game was hard af. Granted it started off a lot easier than wicked does.
@@johnWayne-vd1qy Ori was not hard. If you thought Ori was hard, you are going to hate this game. This game is not only hard, it is incredibly tedious, with armor degrading, resource gathering, 20 minutes till mobs respawn, forcing you on tedious quests, food farming, etc. Even using the clumsy inventory is tedious.
@@sophieedel6324 Sounds like a skill issue.
I have full faith this will be awesome! They have already taken a bunch of feedback and made adjustments.. it's challenging and beautiful, and with a few improvements as identified it will be fantastic! A great starting point!
I am so in love with this game, I had legendary 2h drop from first boss so I opted in to strength and oh man how satisfying it is to land charged attacks with 2h it's brutal and I love. Now I found so many new weapons and I wanna already try new builds because I know I can give those items to my alts. For early access I give this 9/10, it's amazing
Int build with the fireball has been great
2h legendaru sword just rip all bosses in 10 hits and now you have unlimited stamina. Game ruined already for making it too easy
@@ketsi3079 oh yeah I completely agree with you, they need to tune 2h weapons a bit, but I think with many builds it's gonna be easy wants you invest
I haven’t been really excited about a game in a long time, but ever since I saw the trailer for this one it caught my eye. I really hope it gets cleaned up for consoles, looks like it has a ton of potential!
They managed to make a beautiful game that catches eyes, it’s refreshing
The voice acting, sound design, and art style/animation are absolutely incredible - as this is only the first act it took me 14hrs with exploration to complete, and theres still stuff to do - i love ot, goty when its fully released
Was waiting for this. Thanks Jake 👍🏽
I play mainly on console, and I did not know about this game. After seeing some gameplay, and watching this before you buy, I am really looking forward to getting it now when it gets a full release. This game looks BEAUTIFUL!

Combat looks dope
It's ok
@@MorrisseyMuse ahh ill disagree once you get past the first boss the game really opens up i've been loving it and been up to 7 am playing
It is. Although I hate those pesky crossbow guys, but maybe they're easier with a shield (been 2 handing).
Make me wish i had a pc
seems solid
I really loved it. It needs a little bit more polish, optimization, etc. And of course more story/map expansions... But the core gameplay loop feels good to me - I like the chill moments of chopping woods and mining ores, managing inventory, upgrading the town contrasted with the tough tactical combat, etc. Good balance imo
Wow, what a coincidence that you uploaded this just hours before I was looking for it!
Looking interesting but wait for future updates and then jump in
It has potential you can see it
The updated it already
They ruined it already, infinite stamina now game too easy
Wait ing for the full release but very excited for that
If you buy it at full release the game price will increase. Right now you can get it at less that $39
@@AtomicZamurai yes but you also get the full complete product.
@@frankie5821yes but you can buy it on sale and just wait to play it if thats how you feel?
Never heard of this one, but I LOVE the chunky feel of the combat. Added it to my list!
Excellent format of content and the blunt, "raw" voice over
I love how its not the regular zoomed out isometric view. its actually WAAAAY zoomed in for being isometric which gives it this cinematic feel
it just looks so good
Because you're not fighting 99 enemies from every corner at once like diablo lol
nice, this game looks awesome
Awesome vid, wanted to mention "reparation dust" or smth like that, you can both find them and craft them, it adds 50 durability to every item you have equiped ^_^
What I love about this game is that with all that it offers and all its potential, it was priced so affordably.
I really appreciate the honest reviews from you guys at gameranx, always well informed and unbiased. Thanks for another great one!
This game looks fantastic
One of the biggest problems I've seen with people who try to create their own soulslike is that they focus more on trying to make things difficult rather than try to make things fair
Darksouls games and bloodborne are difficult but the catch is that the build you make is meant to help compensate stats with skill
If you're a big tanking beast you can sit there and eat a hit or two then trade blows and if you're a light build you can get in and out while attacking and evading
After that the boss may have giant swings or continous attacks but you have a brain and infinite retries to help you identify the pattern and match your style to their rhythm
But thats where the problem occurs as many recent games have focused on trying to make you suffer needlessly
A game I played called soldiers had this issue where it gave you limited dodges that had a 1 second cooldown but bosses that would have continous attack patterns, it gave a block but gave the boss a form of repeating super attacks and the craziest thing was it gave a mage and archer attacks with limited range on their attacks meaning they had to get into near melee range to attack which defeats the point of the class system
All I'm getting at is that gamers like a challenge we like increased difficulty but the difficulty shouldn't come due to a restriction on your character that the boss is meant to exploit
It should come at the method by which the player aims to challenge the problem. Make the difficulty come as a true test of skill not as some boulder that needs to be pushed up a mountain only to be brought down again
Heyyy that was my starter clothes too Jake!! Stupid backpack thing lol
Will you be doing another Before You Buy once it has a full release?
Played through it myself. Agree with absolutely everything said here.
Also, I just want to reiterate how great combat FEELS. The swing of your weapon, how you get hit, and how you hit enemies is all very impressive for an isometric game. The most realistic isometric feel I've ever experienced, at least as far as I can remember.
Same. Thank God they nerfed the durability loss, I am absolutely loving it so far.
I remember in the first level, I just swung my fists into a barrel and I was like "WAW That was AMAZING!" 😅
@@Atlas_Redux the durability loss is insane at launch. I wish they had just waited a month or two with some internal game testing done first. A lot of people are turned off by the initial ridiculous unbalanced game at launch
Have you played hades? How would you say overall fluidity of combat compares? I understand hades is fast paced.
I just finished playing dragons dogma 2, amazing game, combat is good but doesn’t feel as fluid as dark souls or the like.
@@weszly yea, I’ve played hades. It’s kind of like that except everything has weight to it and you have to manage your stamina. NRFTW is about as close to feeling like dark souls as it gets for an isometric game, at least that I’ve experienced
Love this game so far. Excited to see how it grows
Looks stunning! Love this kind of obscure yet colourful scenery with hurling wind, pouring rain and vivid light animations. The artistic landscape feels fantasy-like and real at the same time to me. Although it's a game i'd really like to explore, i'll take the advice on waiting it out a bit... probably until full release. At this point it seemingly needs more overall gameplay polishing and tweeking, so ama save my 40 bucks (bit high for an EA title imo).
Wow an isometric Dark Souls. How inovative. Definetly never seen that before... Thank you very much for the video though. Always happy to see more from you. I love how you always try to be positive even with things you don't like.
Moon Studios have provided two hot fixes since the early access launch, both of which addressed many of the issues this review and others have talked about. They are not just working on the game, they are WORKING on the game.
Looks awesome and I’ll probably get it, but honestly the weapon degradation mechanic is a huge downside for me personally
great vid Jake! really what I want from an arpg is Path of Exile but more feature complete, like some form of PoB in game, along with loot filter customization, boss guides, item info, some form of combat log/description of how you died. I dont want to leave the game to do stuff in game, that is the worst and needs to stop.
It's V-rising meets Elden ring if you ask me. Its tricky at the start. The first hour can be rough (I debated refunding) but glad I stuck around. Combat is weighty and satisfying, enemies can feel unfair at the start but once you work out parries and dodging to expose critical backstabs it becomes a lot easier. I'm currently level 17 and so far I can trivialise most mobs. Definitely some things to fix (no option to respec. certain materials don't drop often enough).
Should I buy it? I already bought Hades II, but I'm a do 3-4 runs and take a break kind of guy, so I need another game to play while I'm in between runs, BTW Hades II is phenomenal in every way, shape and form.
I really enjoy the game and am glad I supported them financially now. But Jake is right, a lot of balancing and tweaks are needed. Fortunately they seem to be talking player feedback seriously so if you are fine playing unfinished game and helping by providing feedback, it is worth the money. If not, wait some time.

I'm a middle aged man, who has been gaming since the Atari 2600... I don't want my video games to be hard now, I want them to be enjoyable and not frustrating. I will pass on this one, but I hope that it's great for those of you who enjoy these types of games!
With you on this. When Jake started saying “everyone” likes a hard boss you have to study while dying over and over, all I could think is oh well, another one of those. No Jake, there are a LOT of us who don’t like that, don’t have time for it, and don’t find it satisfying.
Your probably the minority most people don't want spoon fed ez mode
@@daniel9940 I'm obviously in the minority. I wasn't saying I'm the majority. I just said the types of games I like and why.
No Jake there are a lot of us WHO prefer HARD games. Tbh for most gamers it has become so much of a habit of clicking hard in basically every game that that feels like normal mode 😂.
@@daniel9940thank you for agreeing. It’s always odd hearing people profess they have no skill base 😅
Man it’s been near a month since we had a before you buy! Crazy long lol
No doubt, I was hyped for this one and it definitely came through. The foundation of the game is straight fire. Yeah, there are bugs, but that was expected, especially this early on. For half the price of a regular AAA game, I'm all in with this purchase. I got both Ori versions on my PC, Switch, and PS5, and I keep coming back to play. They really get what gaming's about. By the end of Ori, you’re running around like a boss. My character in No Rest is just at level 6 and the future looks promising. The potential for this game is pretty high.
Damn. I really hope they remove or nerf the weapon durabilty system, and change the healing system too. From what I understand, all healing is consuables and you need to cook meals for better healing like in breath of the wild. I agree that one of the worst things that can happen in a game like this is to be fighting a good boss, and then you have to leave to go farm heals and repair everything. That just doesn't gel with a challeging action game where you're going to die a lot.
I was excited for this game, but unless they change those 2 systems, I just don't see myself getting it. Otherwise it looks really cool.
Yeah, they really need to cut the tedium. Never make a challenging game tedius, people will not play if you do.
Well im pretty garbage but now i have an electric sword and like 40 food/heals. I dont have enough space for extra herbs and stuff. I went back to the first area til lvl 9 doing quests and stuff. 13 silver on me which is a good deal of money..... so its good but u gotta struggle a lil bit early
You hope nerfing when you dont even own and play the game? Get out of here.. the game is too easy if you own even a litle brain
@@ketsi3079
You're not allowed to criticize a game mechanic unless you own the game?? That's just not true. If you wanna make the case that weapon durability or the healing system is good, then ok fine, make those points. But don't tell me I'm not allowed to say I don't like a game system based on gameplay and multiple reviews.
@@Trio3224 you cant if you never try it your self...
One thing I can definitely say is... the art direction and atmosphere in this game will be absolutely timeless.
How is it "timeless" when its brand-new?? Jfc people just use words they've seen repeatedly used without knowing how to properly use the words. Do you even know the meaning of the word timeless? Because it doesn't seem like you do.
@@marquislexil, you're the one that doesn't seem to understand the very definition of the word. Anything that won't age in a particular sense (in this case, art direction and overall visual style) can be considered "timeless" whether it is new, somewhat relatively current, or older. For example, a lot of PS2 and even PS1 classics have that charm due to the limitations of the hardware back in the day. With a new game like this, it's the combination of a gritty feel along with the cartoony (not derogatory and not out of place at all) proportions, shading, and so on that will help this game live on within that context because it's not trying too hard to be realistic. Try reading any reliable dictionary and talking to people that aren't part of whatever echo chambers you're stuck under next time. Oh, and my day job is that of a digital illustrator in the indie art space/industry. So, it's quite important for me to know what good, unique art styles will live longer than others. Hopefully, no one craps on your meal, again, in the future so you don't start off your responses with insults disguised as supposed well-meaning assumptions.
This is my first early access game and I was looking forward to it this and I’m not disappointed but I do understand all the frustration ppl are having so far… like you I’ll adventure around the first main castle and stop right there and wait for a few updates before I get knees deep into it… but it has so much potential so I’ll let them continue to work on it before I say anything negative… great video as always looking forward to your update video on this game moving forward
This game is going to end up being something special. It's a ton of fun already, even in the state it's in. Visuals are mind blowing. Moon studios artists are just on another level!
Bro can we all agree that durability is a game mechanic that should be erased? It's taking all the fun.
I was really looking forward to this until I saw how terrible the weapon degradation system was. I will skip, and hope they iron it out for the full launch.
A review on steam:
No rest for the GPU
Playing with 1070 ti 1080p and 60fps?
@@ketsi3079 idk I just saw the review on steam and thought it was funny
@@SymbolicLogic24 yeah, its fun when people dont know how to build and install pc's correctly
@@ketsi3079 I mean it's not indicative of that all the time especially in this case. Game is early access and new release/early access games aren't the best optimized which the poor performance is even touched on in this video so I doubt this is a case of someone not knowing how to build a PC correctly.
Ppl rant there didnt even update their drivers lmao
I saw a trailer for this game pop up on my Facebook a little while ago. I love top down games like this, and as an artist myself, games with interesting and different artwork like this really intrigue me. I'm excited. I have it in my wish list on my PS5. I wish PS would dip their toes into Early Access stuff like this, but like you, Jake, said in the video, let it cook for a little longer before diving in. If I can wait for Cyberpunk, I can wait for this.
Definitely excited for the full game !
Gives me Witcher 2 vibes
And god of war 2 from an isometric perspective
I replayed The Witcher 2 last week, how does this remind you of that?
Yea... It's nothing like Witcher 2.
I got this game yesterday, and I am now going to watch this happily
We get a house and the ability to craft extra inventory chests if we do the correct quest lines first.
When it comes to the Durability mechanic I kinda wish developers would lean into it to try and encourage players to use different weapons and thereby different moves and playstyles.
For example, there are some games that will drop many different weapons that will do different things. That can be fun.
However I’ve seen games that have such a thing in place yet have weapons with weapons that have stats and just get better.
Which forces a player to be picky about what weapons they’d wanna pick up thereby conflicting with the want of the dev to have the player pick up and use different weapons.
What I think would be neat to see would be a game that did have a durability system BUT when something broke you could take the pieces of said weapon and hold onto them that later on you can make a different weapon of the broken pieces.
Like for example take a broken handle of a axe, the broken end of a hammer and then craft a weapon from it.
And you could even attach stats to those broken pieces. Like say the handle gave an attack speed of say maybe 3. But the axe that was on the handle only did maybe 20 dmg. Well, adding the hammer end gives 30 dmg and you can add the handle.
Further, you could also make it so that when things break you will probably NOT get back pieces. Like say the Axe head that came with the handle? That axe got demolished somehow and all you have is the handle.
And further, any broken pieces you don’t really use could also probably be used to reinforce or add minor stat increases to weapons you’ve been crafting.
There is a lot I feel devs could do with the durability mechanic but I suppose maybe the right game hasn’t come alone yet.
I feel the idea I suggested is really meant for folks who not only wanna try different weapons but also appreciate crafting and just getting better weapons. As well as being big hoarders of items.
Which admittedly is actually a lot of players all in one idea.
In my region was 15 USD with Raxx streamer discount applied..
Game is insanely good. I can ignore the rough spots cos it's in EA.
Devs released 2 patches with a couple days of release addressing so many issue.
Definately still needs a iron and some baking, but have high hopes for this one.
Edit:
7700k +1080ti @ 1080p performance = ~60fps in town and area before town.
After the town the fps is iffy for unknown reasons considering there appears to be less detail. And sometimes have to restart game to get frames back.
100% agree with the backstab commnet. I found the window to use a backstab is way too small and hard to do if the enemy isnt stunned.
God it looks so smooth and beautiful!
The Ori games are amazing, gonna have to check this game out.
Man I thought that at first about the health and eating system, but I honestly learned to save my food and healing items for when I need them like a boss fight. When you die you just spawn back at a check point, enemies don't re spawn after you beat them so you can make your way 1 enemie at a time if you have to.
I just went into my boss fight once I was ready then only ended up needed 3 healing items for it haha I did great.
(My only complaint is performance.... even on RTX 2070ti I don't care how low you set it its still choppy 😢).
But I figured I'll hold off and let them get it where they want to get it and dive back in.
Great game
The originality in this game was enough for me to already make it memorable. 100% worth the experience even if it never was developed further! Yet, they're pushing out updates almost daily for it. I think this is going to take a place in my favorite games book right next to Dark Souls 1.
Note to @GameRanx, really polished video and I like the information presented. Pretty in-depth, good sound quality, and smooth transitions. I'd love to hear a different presentation though. Instead of pros & cons it was definitely a cons & pros approach. Felt like, 'these minor bugs here and there just are annoying me... but it's an AMAZING GAME (as an afterthought)'. Thanks for making the video none-the-less! Good work (:
8:40 I suddenly remembered margit all over again!😂 this game look awesome❤
great game, you forgot to mention that you can buy a house and set fourniture in it to craft stuff and more, game had frame drops but didn't crash at all after over 7 hours of gameplay, i think it needs a fast ssd to run smoothly. money becomes less of an issue after getting to sacrament, i just think it has a very long starting area
this game is really sick so far. has some performance issues but it’s been on the up and up with each patch. combat feels awesome and the loot system has me pretty excited
Thanks for sharing your personal opinions on this, great review as always! Personally I'm really excited for this game, but I'm one of those people who never purchase early access games. I just hope the game developer nail this once it got a complete release.
A lot of the real and fair problems with the game is now fixed. Durability is not an issue anymore you can probably die 20 times now before repair and chop down like 20-30 trees/ veins etc before repair. You are already very very good at combat. But you are actually not exploring much. And therefore super underleveled. After 1st boss you will have 5 zones and some of the zone will have enemies you can farm. It’s not like Elden ring but you can still farm xp. Some areas will always have enemies. Upgrade and enchant/ infuse gear. Get 1or 2 health regen items or the health leach ring. Game becomes easy. One of the best games I played in a while.
As other people are saying, these indie games are carrying the gaming industry and releasing some awesome games. I will absolutely give these studios my money for that.
I'm having big performance issues which I believe is tied to the render distance and lighting but otherwise i absolutely adore the bones of this game and what it has going on
10 hours into this beauty of a game playing mostly on steam deck, I'm absolutely loving it. cant wait for all the positive changes to come as we wade through early access. Glad to hear the crashing isn't specifically steam deck related XD
This is the first game of its kind that I actually want to play, It looks awesome and you were right about the facial animations Jake. As soon as I saw a cut scene I instantly wanted to play this. Cant wait for it to get finished and come to Xbox!
Honestly was super excited for this but after watching this I am definitely waiting for release to see if any of these systems change.
ill wait for for the finished game and see if it will fit in the time with other games im waiting for to play.
One of my favorite games of the past few years
You echoed every thought I had about the game. I was surprised, and glad at the same time, that it wasn't just me who had problem with those issues, and at the same time would loved if the game was more approachable, cause it had so much potentiall.
I've bought both Ori games, but sadly as it is right now, this is not for me.
This is one of those reviews from Jake that I completely 100% agree with. This game has phenomenal potential to be one of the greats, just needs tweaking in the spots he mentioned and I am very excited with the planned updates and performance fixes to get back into it.
Are you gunna review Harold halibut?! I’m very curious to know
Alright gameranx
Consider it fan mail, gratitude, admiration fact is from the bottom of me heart
This channel is what id consider anything journalismic in video game market , honestly the reviews and how they are formatted are brilliant
I get to know if you guys like it or not and if yes then why and if no then why ,
You guys honour games as art meanwhile respecting the consumer buying this art ,
We are told pf the biases before hand , gameranx see to it that you guys improve on it ,
Overall thankyou ❤
I never played these type of games but this one really caught my eye
just in case you miss it , if you progress , you can rune your weapon with a health rune , so eating outside of bossbattles is zero need anymore ... dura cost was lowered alot but even before and now , you can buy a rune of durability , which repairs your whole items for 150focus ...there is even a rune which you can use as a townportal , if you dont like backtracking ...the game is mega rewarding if you keep your eyes up , but its the same as elden ring , you have to figure it put by yourself , or you wait for the big amount of guides coming ...right now everything is doneable and depends if the player plays the game or just try to rush like in an diablo
What’s your system build? It looks beautiful, but I can’t tell how likely I am to have this experience. That lighting seems awfully expensive
So one thing that people were hating alot (early on, but they buffed it significantly, really quickly) was the durability. But even without buffing it, all you needed (then) was to add the (repair) rune on a 2nd or 3rd main hand. Build up 150 focus, swap to it, repair and Voila. Now though after all the durability buffs, that rune is sort of obsolete to me. You have to repair very seldomly, and when you need to repair it only cost like 40-60copper (I remember before the first buff to durability I needed to spend well over 2silver to repair everything!!!)
So yeah, the devs have been quite actively making adjustments. Can't wait for more of the story to be unfolded, and to see what's next cuz right now it's like if you were to start Path of Exile, and play through act 1 and only act 1. So much more to uncover.
Durability is one of those things that CAN be immersive, but a lot of games end up making it feel like a chore, or make you think twice about using the Awesome Weapon you just acquired.
Been playing this recently. As a big fan of the kind of micromanagement present between hunts in monsterhunter, this is the best game purchase I've made in a while
I never liked souls like and ARPG’s but I’m surely gonna try that one, maybe after early access 😅 Game looks fun and beautiful, cheers Gameranx!
this game reminds me of the rpg games back in the early 2000's. this style isnt new, in fact, its quite old
i still remember i use to play a rpg that was almost exactly like this but less polished and in team form
I was soo interested when I saw it announced and didn’t know it was sort of out
"It's got a good foundation" One of the most common phrases to hear about games but still very few ever make proper use of what they have.
Would be awesome if they did an online hub system like diablo and POE where u can see others in towns and outposts but in the combat zones its solo or you can group. I also think this game could be awesome with a certain aspect of a runespace-like skills system. Could be the complete package.
Do a before you buy on Sker!!!! Needs more publicity
Totally agree with the food heath thing maybe they could do something like if you die to a main boss then you get your healing back, but only for main line bosses other tough foe and fight you have to farm, that could be a balance
Protip: If the game is too difficult you can create a new Realm and farm items in the first location (with your already made character). You can sell for money to buy stuff or craft more healing items.
Protip 2: If you have low health and are near a Cerim Whisper, touch it then remove your gear and die to fall damage and you will return with full health. Full heal without using food.
I tested both of these and they are viable options if you're having trouble with the game. Good luck.
@@blad... wait so you can bring you already levelled character to like a new fresh world
@@mrfirestar9604 yes, and they skip the prologue so you start right on the beach
@@mrfirestar9604 Just a heads up, and not trying to boast, but I haven't actually died other than fall damage so I didn't need to do this. Now that I'm thinking about it, you should know that I spawned on the beach and then just went back to my Realm. I just ASSUMED everything (herbs) spawned since it's a new world. Maybe I should've checked. I was only checking if it was possible to bring old character. Busy though so I'll check later, or tell me if you check. Ty
@@blad... oh cool! I never got the legendary weapon from the first boss like everyone else did maybe now I can! Thanks!
the honesty 🤌🏾
i love it so much how this game looks, having a blast playing it
I think there is a lot of truth to what was said, but I've noticed with this latest build the higher level you are, the loot pools change. So I could see how the durability could be a drag, but with randomness to the chests and loot, I think it balances it out. I agree you can get beat on pretty hard in this game, but if you endure its pretty easy to build momentum and move past the tough spots.
I have always bounced off soul like games, but given Moon Studio's record and my love of Ori, I really wanted to support them in their efforts to do something different. I've actually found myself enjoying the game. I've had to re-calibrate how to play an ARPG, slower, more thoughtful in combat. I'm still dying a bunch, but I appreciate that using the rest sites don't reset the game and enemies, so i have felt like I can make consistent progress forward. I'm about 4hours into the game and really enjoying it. I will stay the separation of character from Realm is utterly brilliant. I really which other games would do this.
The weighty sounds and animation sold me already
