    I think a lot of people forget that this is an indie game, developed by a small amount of people. I’d say it looks like a great game, even if it isn’t groundbreaking. This is the kind of game we need. Simple and sweet. It reminds us that a game doesn’t need to be ‘the next big thing’ in order to be good and fun.

    This is such a tired old excuse. I don't care how many people worked on it, or how long they had, or what their budget was. The moment they slap a price tag on the game, it's going to be compared to every other game around the same price point or lower.

I also really like the talent tree options. Straightforward, but had me thinking about what I prefer in my play style. I’m really digging it all around for a $20 game made by 7 people.

    just a note on the parry system, it also drains health and a small amount of wounds, so combat is actually sped up if you parry more than you dodge which is a nice incentive to learning the system. certain bosses also have combos that are hard to doge and easier to parry. Some bosses, you can dodge or parry easily, but the distance between you two can get large so parrying can help keep the gap close. Not to say dodging isn't useful, but I do enjoy the parry system here.

    you gotta be careful if you play a real souls game at some point, because (most except one) games in the series are based on fairness, so going in with the public opinion that "all fromsoft games are made for clinically insane people, and not everyone can play them" is not true. The games just demand high levels of focus and commitment, but nearly all of them have a nice learning curve, where you get to learn the mechanics and progress through the game at a steady pace without being obliterated. And then there's elden ring, which lets you go whever you want if you're having trouble with a boss or area. In the end, if you decide to play a fromsoftware game, just know you shouldn't approach it like its the video game equivalent of an iron maiden

    Thanks for the advice. I did end ul buying it. Full price. Worth it for me. Bloodborne left such a hole, and after ng+twentysomething it is just not the same anymore. This feels fast and compelling but it does hold your hand. It is easier than the souls formula for sure. Idk. Souls has something beyond dificulty. It is not that ghostrunner is easy but it is no souls. This is not souls either. But it is something of a refreshing taste. You can see where they cut corners, but in my oppinion it is worth it. Remember code vein. What that was hyped up to be. This is way better. And remember scarlet nexus. What that was made out to be. Yeah. This is better for sure. But it is cut from the same cloth. Narrow paths to walk and not much to explore. Yet there are a few times to realy think about how you got there. The stealing mechanic also just feels right. The story is not as flat as you guys say imo. I dig it. But the world is kind of weird for sure. To me it is worth it. But i can see it falling flat for many people. To me they cut just the right parts. I would rather have great gameplay then voice acting, however a little more i wouldn't mind.

I also, like how there isn't a stamina bar makes it much easier for me. I love the From software games, but suck. This game is difficult, but I have never been happier when defeating a mini boss or unlocking a new Plague Attack. This game I would highly recommend not only for those who struggle with Souls and Borne type games, but for those that also love those genres. The $30 price tag is perfect for this game. No, complaints from me.

The weightiness, responsiveness, animations need a hell of a lot more work to feel good in hands. Bosses are a joke as they just end up being more of a dps test since they just run off and heal while you're just tailing and attacking. Good effort nonetheless though.

    The Sekiro-Bloodborne blend is quite weird. I played the demo and it felt like the deflect system is a bit weird, it's not as snappy as Sekiro where you can pretty much instablock even mid command. In here, as far as I remember there is little to no room for command cancellation. The dodge is pretty lengthy which makes it the go to mechanic, which doesn't encourage learning the deflect mechanic.

    Didn't like this too much, the combat specifically. You are incentivised to be aggressive but with no rally system like Bloodborne it's to your detriment. Parrying feels off too, and you aren't given any frame advantage or riposte for successfully pulling it off. Dodging seems to be the way to go for the most part, but this is counterintuitive to wound system since you want to be aggressive. It just didn't gel well for me in the end.
