This or Salt and Sanctuary?

[WickenChings420 (GER)]

Been looking for a soulslike i can play and saw this on the frontpage
Some people say games good, some people say the first one was better. Should i get this or the Salt and Sanctuary?

I would get Salt and Sanctuary

[Mad Engineer Kikoumaru]

I'd say both are good, but if you're planning to only get one Sanctuary is the best choice, specially after the update it got earlier this year with Enhanced mode.

Unless you want to play with online a friend, in that case Sacrifice would be the best choice since the first one only has couch co-op and no online.

Can still be played online via remote play. Not perfect but it works.

I'd definitely play salt and sanctuary first, its an excellent game that is very worth playing if you like the genre.

From 5 hours into sacrifice it feels like a downgrade and has made several stupid design decisions that seem common in this genre for sequels. No proper interconnected world, having to go back to a central location to level up (at least you don't to talk to a boring npc who repeats the same few lines.) I'm hoping its more a dark souls 3 situation where a bad first impression leads to a great mid/late game but its too early for me to tell.

Sanctuary for the simple reason that Sacrifice abuses poor design choice of vertical levels with bosses camping in semi random locations just to smack you in the face and one-shot you with fall damage. This happens a LOT and I'm just a few hours in

Coding a few "arena" like rooms in vertical levels where bosses would make their stand would have been way better.

both but you can mod sanctuary from outside sites.

Don't get one shot. The bosses will engage each other in petty fights. Don't jump into the middle of them when they do. I haven't been struggling at all with this roaming boss scenario. Game has been pretty good so far.

Salt & Sanctuary is a masterpiece.
Thick atmosphere. You can actually smell the mist and rain the art direction is that well done.

Sacrifice also lacks the dark, bloody and raw aesthetic of the original game.

That said, Sacrifice isn't a bad game. It's like Elden Ring vs. Bloodborne.

You should play worst one first so you won't have comparison to spoil experience. Worst one is sacrifise, absolutely best one is sanctuary.

Both. Sanctuary is better, Sacrifice is still good.

I'll be honest, I always forget remote play is a thing.

[SuperKeyboardFighter]

This game is closer to Monster Hunter. Get Salt and Sanctuary if you are looking for soul game experience

[Larn]
