Is this a good game?

[Link316]

I have been on the edge about getting this game since it came out on epic, but i dont like buying games there. Also never seen it on sale over there. but now that its on steam, theres a good chance i will give it a shot at some point. What does everyone think about this game?

It's a bad game. A lot of reviews on YouTube - you should check them before buying.

I played it when it first came out, it was pretty good and I found the characters to be likeable but it had horrible performance. I hear it has been fixed now tho, maybe im wrong.

Level design is super repetitive tho, although the environments are varied from a visual standpoint.

It's the best final fantasy game ever made, and a fun action RPG on its own.

Come for the gameplay and stay for the goofy story and voice acting. For 40 bucks base, you really can't go wrong.

Hey Link.

It depends.

And others will have seen me say this around - if you like fast-paced action gameplay, build crafting, trying out different combinations, and continue playing after credits - this game has you covered.

If you do like those things and are on the fence, would advise waiting for sale, but to also keep in mind that if you're looking to co-op with random players, you may find fewer people later on.

Its ok.

Its a great game lots of fun.

Story is fine and it's fun to play through but the end game grind is horrible and gets old very fast. Also as mentioned before you need to do the very hard difficulties to even play the DLC. Not worth the price tag.

Main story is for general action game fans, DLC makes the game more about replays and loot drops like Diablo/POE. If you don't care about that just get the main story, if you enjoy the gameplay and want new ways to enjoy the game the DLC has tons of replayability and new gameplay stuff.

It's more accessible than Nioh 2 and more fun. I don't often buy games at $60, especially year old ones, but I'm absolutely loving the game. FYI hard is the normal mode less the dlc suddenly gets x10 harder.

Played 2 hours and the gameplay is fun and the cutscenes are funny and entertaining. I don't know if they're intentionally funny but I'm laughing and clapping and having a blast so far.

i wouldn't say its an amazing game no. but its good fun if you like team ninja's combat style games. there a lot of fun build depth, and fun bosses. The story is slow, but if ur really into ff ur enjoy the pay off.
otherwise its just a decent game, what really lets it down tbh is the level design and slow story.

Haven't tried this version yet, but from I hear it's identical to the latest EGS patch. It so then...

Game's great! Lot's of fun if you like involved, satisfying combat.

I would recommend going Hard and then take out party members if you want that extra bit of consistency and challenge (game balances it out).

The RPG elements are a bit intimidating at first, but they're there only for aesthetic and game feel on the first playthrough. It does get crazy in the post game (DLCs) where it becomes all about breaking the game, so if you like that in your RPGs, you're covered. You got lots of things to level up and optimize and you get lots of tools too get there.

The story is very hit or miss. Jack is funny, interesting and compelling, but he also carries the whole charade. If you typically play with ENG subs, then I suggest you give the dub a try. His VA does an excellent job at selling his bizarre extremes (turn on the effect subtitles too, you'll see why). The DLCs go balls deep into Dissidia canon, so the plot just kinda happens and the lore is nye incomprehensible (tho uncovering it all can be fun in itself lol).

The visuals and level design is pretty straightforward, an emphasis on the variety and pacing. The game knows combat is the core and avoids getting in your way with some quirks to make use of in a given scenario.

The performance is the game's biggest issue. This game is a lot more demanding than you'd think (stay away from the 120 mode unless you're cool with major slow down and turn off the screen space reflection setting).

its one of the games ever made!
