Endless errors. Neither I or friends can play the game.
0/10 until fixed.
Players shouldn't have to flip a coin on whether or not your game is gonna work.

EDIT #1: Back to update review. The error is that they do not inform the player in ANY way that you must go to their website, create an account, and link it to your steam. Having this prompt upon starting the game for first time players is a must.

I will come back, and change the review if I end up actually enjoying the game. After my first game I have mixed feelings, but we will see if that changes after a few more with some friends instead of randoms.

EDIT #2: Game is pretty good. The combat is extremely chaotic and fast paced, but the addition of the stun ability is broken. Taking away 100% of movement, and ability use while you can only stand there vibrating is game breaking. I have changed my update to positive as it is a very fun game, but that one item could be removed in my opinion.

I miss the old days

Imagine giving a bad review because launch day has some optimization issues. Some of y'all are really short sighted.

Anywho, running on GTX 580 on High, Stable framerate. Some stuttering issues but immediately without Motion Blur it got tons better. Further in the game than 75% of people so this "IT'S UNPLAYABLE BOSSES ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO DEFEAT CAUSE STUTTERS REEEE" is fake news by kids too stubborn and unintelligent to alter their settings cause they have a $5,000 pc.

To the game: It's very fun. They add enough to the formula of a souls like to make it new and interesting but still give you the feeling you crave. Defeating the bosses in this give you a big rush of satisfaction. Atmosphere, grraphics, gameplay, all of it is astonishingly good.

fun and fresh feeling battle royal. Fun for fans of VtM. In EA needs some obvious work but enjoyable. Devs are very responsive on discord and hands on, looking to improve based off our feedback.

Cool concept, had fun a few matches before realizing nothing really mattered until end game especially the winching phase of the game and abusing the last tick to win easily. The combat seems lackluster with not a lot of variation and not a high skill cap making the winching part an awkward spam fest at times. I feel like I saw everything this game had to offer within the few hours I played it. All my friends thought the beginning phase / stealth part of the game was cool only to be saddened when that part didn’t seem to matter and quickly devolved into hybrid TDM / zone control.

- Stole this from another Review because it is picture perfect of the state of the game. The combat is very heavy and sluggish with only 2 or 3 animations per character, and there is no flow or synergy in combat. It all comes off as a very annoying game of Rock, Paper, Scissors as each of you just take a turn swinging or blocking. The try to push this overwhelming STEALTH IS IMPORTANT narrative by making all melee combat do massive amounts of damage, but as the other reviews say that halfway through they abandon all stealth and focus on a TDM style mode. The intention is for you to keep stealth going but there just is no requirement and in fact makes your life harder/slower as they capture respawns.

I was totally excited thinking the stealth and assassination aspect would be more forefront and important, but at the moment I can't recommend this game for any purchase. The lack of any sort of MMR really sets the pace of "Nah." really quick into the game, as your entire game is focused around gearing up/leveling up the perks and skills of your chosen character and you get to experience what it's like to face the end game version almost every game as you play against a team of level 45's as you and your 3 level 1 friends squeal in terror.

The first year on their roadmap has 1 character, 1 map, and an unannounced gameplay change. I suggest treating this game like Hunt Showdown and come back in 2 or 3 years.

Lol it's not full of spyware. It's fun tho, give it a chance.

Realistic Fishing Sim. Good game.
F2P so the grind is atrocious unless you wanna drop some cashola.
Game could do with a more in depth tutorial to teach you the game. Imagine how many people throughout the world that could be brought into old-school fishing if you'd just teach them more about it.

cowboy go bang

First hour ran into a glitch that caused my weapon to fire non-stop. After ensuring it wasn't my mouse, my controller, or my computer I gave up and refunded the game.

Sad day

I feel like this is a souls game that almost tried to not be one. They added some weird mechanics, and changed a lot to the base Dark Souls style. Almost none of it was carried over to Dark Souls 3, but that's okay. It makes it unique. I often feel that this is a great game, but a bad Dark Souls. The environments do not flow well, and there's the complete lack of interesting bosses or really any challenge at all. Next, we can talk about the weird mob spawns and locations throughout the game. Dark Souls 1 seemed to have a lore based reason for every intense mob placed throughout the game, but in 2 you encounter some of the most random and unexplained mobs re-pasted through the game. It really interrupted the theme of the area for me.

Out of the 3, I feel like this is the easiest to sit down, and play entirely solo with almost no track stopping challenge.

All of that aside, the game is immensely fun. This has one of the largest array of weapons out of the Soul series that are actually viable, and fun to use. The power stance system was an amazing addition and allows for a lot more mix and match of the building, Spells variety included. The game instead of seeming to have difficult mobs or bosses tries to punish you for overuse of systems like rolling or healing (which it will do if you try to sip on that estus mid-fight)

The DLC are of course the highlight of the game, and bring some of the most challenging and interesting areas to your adventure. Out of all of the issues Dark Souls 2 has (Weapon Durability) I honestly find it to be one of the most fun to come back and play again and again and again.




Though the moderation system on all Souls games is complete ass and do not expect any help if they wrongly ban you :P
