My summary Whoops cut out the word totally when talking about it mitigating issues" I liked it for the most part but as the game got into its second half the smaller footprint of overall locations and the way the game plays worked against it. It just needed a couple more locations I think.

So, would you say that the locations are generic and repetitive in general terms? and the same goes for the variety of the enemies? something like "i've been here and i've fought those folks a lot of times?" Because those are my principal fears with this game, i mean, i think that i would like the context, the combat, and the souls formula, but for me, a repetitive or generic enviornment and the lack of variety on the enemies, could be a gamebreaker on that type of games...

I am just glad they improved from Lords of The Fallen. I say the more chances I get to Git Gud the better.

I'm actually really excited to get my copy through tomorrow now. The idea of a Souls-like that doesn't suck up a million hours of my life is weirdly appealing to me at this stage.

I"m here with you, I liked the Dark Souls franchise, but being a family man now I just couldn't sink the amount of time I wanted into it. I mean, I can play it for tens of hours, but I can't get a good long sit down which is what I needed to beat bosses in that game. This seems like it's going to be right up my alley.

so you want less game for your money? doesnt really make sense to me

I can't help but think Edge of Tomorrow.

I think this game would be a lot more appealing to me if I hadn't spent the last several days playing Prey. I can only take so much dystopian sci-fi before getting fatigued. Wait for sale seems like perfectly reasonable advice.

Hi ACG. I was just rewatching your old review of dishonoured 2. I commented on it some stupid thing and you actually replied to me in a cool manner telling me why I was wrong. Anyway I just wanted to say that you were right and I appreciate what you are doing!

John Herrera they also had good boss design. Like what turns me off of this game is when he said less bosses. Like what is a Souls game without bosses to git gud with?

That Dean Hobbs voice actor sounds familiar and I just cannot remember where I heard him before.

This is my jam. I watched a couple of other reviews, and was surprised that not a one mentioned the fluidity of the movement and combat.

Informative as always, thanks Karak!

Been looking forward to this since your interview with Adam. Gonna put it off until I finish Prey, I can't get enough. Thanks for the video!

Hey just seen you channel for the first time. I really like the style of your video. I Don't comment as much as I should. If I do its for a reason. Hope to see more content like this. also wish I would have seen this before i bought it because I agree! :D

Hey ACG, if it was out of this or Nioh which way should one go?

I like that he complimented Nioh

Nice review, thank you! Decisions to be made next month :C

I've been playing for about two hours and I really like it so far.

ACG on top of the early reviews as always. Very good channel.

I didn't hear about this game until I saw TB talk about it and after watching your video I'm even more interested. Given that this is the second Soulslike attempt from the same studio behind Lords of the Fallen it seems like they're getting closer to what made FromSoft's masterworks tick even if they haven't truly nailed it yet. The trend of games like The Surge and Salt and Sanctuary trying to iterate on the Souls series is definitely one that I'm happy with. From showed what could be done through such iteration with Bloodborne, and I'm really excited to see how different settings and tones can be used to influence the design of a game like this. Someone on Reddit posted these images of what a soulslike might look like if set in contemporary Japan and it really shows where just a little creativity can lead a game like this.

I was waiting for this review, you know I now buy games on your reviews, you have not done me wrong yet.

Excellent review! I hoped this game would do well, and am glad to see it's pretty good, getting the pass from Karak. Are you planning to do a review of the Hot Wheels expansion for Forza?

Ty for the review Karla - I need to hold off and play some of the crap I have on my plate now. I do have to ask - how difficult is this compared to Nioh? I find that easier than the Souls' series, but have also come close to breaking a controller with some of it's bastard bosses.

I do agree on the wait-for-a-sale conclusion. I would definitely want more time out of a game like this, as it looks really fun. Great review, as always!

Great review as always!!! I never buy without first watching your reviews thank you

Hands down best reviewer on the planet. Lays it out in an informative, highly entertaining and witty manner. Easy to pick out what we, as individuals, would each look for in a game and then allow us to place an emphasis on what caters to us. The end rating, to me at least, isn't nearly as important compared to how well the informative nature of the review is presented.

Great review karak 😀 i might "have" to try one of theese types of games at some point, wich one would you recomend i start with?? This one or one of the Dark souls games 😀

Love the review, my man, as always! Funny, informative, and enjoyable -and despite the shortcomings I'm still super curious about the game and want to check it out :) Also, completely off topic here.. but... Dean Hobbs sounds like he's voiced by Connor Trinneer, it's a dead ringer, yet IMDb doesn't say anything, nor does Google. Curious.

I was interested in this game, still am, but since you recommend waiting for a sale, I think I will. Thanks for the review, Karak!

Great review, thanks!:)

The fact that you can actually pause it is a massive plus to me

Is it just me or Dean Hobbs sounds almost exactly like Trip Tucker from star trek enterprise ? was he voiced by Connor Trinner ?

Another great review delivered with no nonsense and hilarious linguistic gymnastics in equal measure

Man I'm so glad I found your channel

im a huge souls fan. i just ran through the first part of this, and yes im let down by the enemies, but other than that i completely approve. didnt want to stop playing.

Acg, thank you so much for your videos! I appreciate what you do for us gamers. Xbox live gold is having a sale (like they always do) and they're selling this game for $12.50. You helped me make up my mind if I should buy it or not. Thanks again! :-)

I am really happy to hear that you dig the game. I take your opinion very seriously, as I feel you have a grasp on what a good game should be. But, there is no way in hell I can wait for a sale to purchase this. I have it preordered and waiting for download as soon as midnight hits on my PS4. You sold me on Nioh not too long ago and i was not disappointed, but waiting is not something I am good at, especially if it comes to a "Soul's-like".

I don't normally leave comments, but I have to say I really enjoyed this review. Informative and to the point. I think I have a go-to game reviewer now. Keep up the outstanding work!

The demo popped up on my dashboard on Ps4 and I downloaded it...Gave it a try and I love it. Watched the review to see how someone else felt about this game and of course your reviews are always top notch. I felt the same way about waiting for a sale on this game. At 41.99 (if you have plus) It just doesn't seem the price. Hopefully it drops to 30 or lower because that's where I'd put my money in at. The story just doesn't seem to really be there in the demo, so I don't really feel it's gonna be there in the full game. I will say that out the gate with the wheelchair, I felt that was something iconic because what game do you start out in one? Not any I've played. Gave a real uniqueness to this.. I hope I'm wrong on this story being lacking when I get the full version sometime down the road. Anyhow, great review as always.

"I was born in a prison.." Hey, PS Plus crowd, remember those words... This is a fantastic game. My first Souls-esque game.

Always look to your reviews before I purchase a game, the best reviewer I have seen on you tube

Totally agree with the final suggestion. I bought LOTF day one and was pretty underwhelmed, and while this looks much better, I still don't feel it's $60 better. The one thing this game makes me curious about though is if FromSoft might at one point try a sci-fi version of their own formula. Its not like they've never dabbled in such a setting (Armored Core)

Good afternoon! Would you say the complete edition is still a wait for sale or is it a buy at 59.99?

Great review sir. It is always a pleasure to watch your videos, you are a talented wordsmith. Thank you.

In your opinion for more fun factor and game experience would you recommend the Surge or Prey?

I really like your review. I wait for your word to see if a game is worth it.,thx. keep,up the great work

Thinking about getting this, thought to myself "wonder if ACG has a review." GOTDAMN right he does!! Thanks!!

Thanks for the review K. Cheers.

great review, I'll eventually check this one out as I'm still waiting on that perfect sci-fi/horror souls game. Bloodborne combat and H.P Lovecraft space dinosaurs ala Dino Crisis 3!
