Pentagram deletes your chest

The actual hardest game I've played. There are probably harder games out there and certainly games with harder achievements, bonus levels, etc. But simply trying to finish this game or get it's one achievement is a monumental task, and I absolutely recommend it.

One of these days months years decades centuries, I'll have the motivation to finally get the achievement.

Here's my review, I won't waste your time like this game will.

Big world: seems to go on forever.

Lots of variety: weapons, spells, abilities.

Accessibility: respawn points close to bosses, more combat options, etc.

Terrible performance: does not matter if you have top of the line hardware, barely matters what graphics settings you use.

Capped fps: game is capped at 60 fps in the year 2022.

Input lag: may be linked to poor performance, but still feels far less responsive than other FromSoft games, buffers inputs for way too long.

Unfair difficulty: game hits a massive difficulty spike halfway through the game, bosses one or two shot you no matter how much HP you have, regular enemies also deal far too much damage.

Aggressive input reading: bosses will purposefully use their strong attacks you if you try to heal, buff, cast a spell, etc.

Game crashes: although uncommon have still happened multiple times, will most likely be fixed in the future but still annoying.

Multiplayer: constant disconnects, outdated summoning system from 2009, still has potential for cheaters.

Game balance: certain weapons completely outshine others especially in multiplayer, time to kill in multiplayer is far too fast.

Platforming: it sucks, it's janky as hell and trying to platform with the horse feels even worse.

Despite these problems, I did still get all the achievements in this game for bragging rights.
Feel free to comment with your own opinions I will read them all.

A love-hate relationship I can't really bring myself to anymore, it's mostly good and I recommend learning the game but don't overdo it.

Yes.

Ignore the negative reviews from Open IV being taken away, which is also now back. This is one of my favorite games of all time and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys the gta series. Performance and bad optimization are frequently complained about but with most modern PC's or simply lowering some settings. This game is easily capable of running.

10/10, Would go bowling again.

Have gotten as much enjoyment as I have out of this game. The story mode is pretty fun even though I enjoyed some of the previous GTA's more it's still good.

Most people probably come to play online though...
People will find a lot to complain about but it's still pretty good, even though I mostly have avoided packed freemode lobbies by making empty public sessions Look it up... You can still find enjoyment no matter how you play and can have a near infinite amount of fun especially with friends.

If you're still one of the people who are poor just keep spending wisely and grinding for the money, you'll make it someday or get money dropped from a modder...

Also has good visuals and is pretty easy to run.

Have played the game since 2015 I think, and have enjoyed it since. Don't be turned away by the unneccessary skins that exist that a lot of people were unhappy about when they got released, it's still very fun to this day and one of the biggest pros for me is how easy the game is to mod and bring something fresh from it. Some cons are the poor performance on a PC that could run almost anything better, but it never got me to stop playing.

Source Filmmaker is a mess, but it's a beautiful one. Sometimes it's fun to have to make something out of the spaghetti that is SFM.

TL;DR Don't get it, go play the original game at buildandshoot.com it's free and better

I played the game back in the day when it was classic things were simple and it made sense, support then dropped and the steam version was released. As I could not afford the steam version at the time, I had to play the original which was now on buildandshoot.com as a community driven game which took basically everything from the first but put it on a different website. I finally got my hands on this game but was very disappointed compared to the original. I will never forget the times I had on the original game and had some of the best memories on it I remember today.

Review Edit: This game is completely dead now and is basically unplayable unless you have a bunch of friends and can make your own server, but it's still terrible.
