Too bad I can't review this game

[Mijj]

I bought this game on PS5, went throw it with a friend and made all the game in coop, damn that was painful...We both love soul-like games and made plenty of it but damn this one is the worst souls-like I played if not the wors worst game I ever played.

I don't even know where to start, because so many things are wrong in this game :

• The scenario could be interisting, but it writtend so badly that it was attrociaous to read the dialogues, also we didn't understand where we have to go or what happened
  
• I won't count the numerous bugs in this game, the worst are that after each main mission cinematic my coop mate is kicked out and we have to find a new station to enable again the coop, so I sometimes have to do 20 min alone
  
• There is no balance in this game, I went full INT he went classical DEX/STR build, I was good at the beggining but as soon as he had life leech weapons, he never healed again because when you deal something like 800 damage and you heal 5% of that, you don't need anymore healing potions, also I was so bad because enemies are like 50% resistant to fire or electric damage or why not, both that you just CAN'T kill them alone if you play alone as an INT build
  
• The boss are so buggy that many times they just don't attack you, what a difficult game, we only struggled with the last boss because this ♥♥♥♥ use spell that one shot you and I mean BOTH of you
  
• Animations are so clunky that was really painfull to play the whole game
  
• The story by itself is quite stupid, like even when the game finish we don't understand why we are on this planet in the first place: We came on this planet to terraform it...to myknowledge you terraform a planet that is wildless, but in this one Nabooru people were here, so why do we have to terraform it? this is plain stupid!

Also, no optional bosses or secondary quests? Is this a joke this game?

I think I will stop here but I put this review because I bought it on PS5 and I can't post it on Syeam, anyway if someone read this and feel intersted with souls-like games, please avoid this "game" this is really not a good one.

I wasn't going to say anything, but I can't help myself.

If you are going to critique a game for it's writing, at least have the decency to yourself use proper grammar and correct spelling. FFs.

Is the story really so hard to get? I thought the picture was pretty clear both from dialogue and from looking at the tapestries you find throughout the game (the interactable ones that get some commentary from the main character).
Basically, the previous home world of the Naboru was under some planet-level threat, so apparently a very much advanced and benevolent future humanity helped them evacuate and find a new home world. Wardenia was chosen as a suitable planet and the Naboru were given a powerful appliance, called the "cradle", to manipulate the DNA of local fauna and flora to make the planet habitable, i.e. terraform it. However, the Naboru went full bonkers with the DNA manipulation and made rats from the cargohold of the spaceships into sentient ratkin for them to enslave (among other dubious experiments that probably created birdmen and so on). The mission sent to retrieve the cradle was struck by disaster when the ship's AI went bonkers in turn and the captain was only able to rescue his crew trapped in cryogenic sleep from the ship.
The large ring shaped shipwreck seen throughout the game is probably just the evacuation ship that brought the Naboru to the planet. Their whole "ascension" religion is a theologically blurred memory of that early history, explaining why they want to "ascend" back to the sky.
The prophet Marvius of the Furkin is just a bastardisation of their name Captain Marvellous for the now deceased captain that showed them how to use fire "magic" by doing some nano-cell-manipulation stuff. (In toto, the game is one huge example of the Magic-Technology theorem "Any sufficiently adavanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.")

I'm French so maybe you can shut up and have the decency to understand I can make mistakes or you are just plain stupid?

What I don't understand is why the Naboru are still relatively primitive on the one hand, basically living in the middle ages with medieval weapons and armor, yet they somehow manage to do all sorts of crazy stuff with the cradle, creating a whole new species of people to enslave and what not. Bit weird.

Hi, thank you for the feedback.

I respect your opinions. Our game tries to be different, so we have a unique hero with quite distinctive writing which isn't for everyone. But we never wanted to be for everyone. We wanted to be unique. Only other thing I can really say is that coop is sadly a bit buggy now. We know about it and are working hard on the fixes.

Just want to quickly react to "no optional bosses or secondary quests?"
Well there are optional quests. If you speak to NPC's they quite often have some mini quest that you can help them with, also basically every boss is optional in some sense. Since if you go through the game for a second time and make a different decision you will have a completely different set of Bosses .. maybe even some friends from your first playthrough will become bosses in se cond. :-)

Nevertheless thank you for playing our game and giving us feedback.
