Game is fun, just 3 issues
1 too easy, understandable because it's a demo
2 Denuvo. this makes the game a piece of ♥♥♥♥ instantly
3 the character models are ugly AF, body proportions are terrible. when will game developers understand that people don't want to play ugly characters?

the worst part is point 2 and 3 are big issues and very intentional. they made the characters ugly on purpose, because some of the npcs actually do look good.

they ruined a decent game for no reason.

1 In fact the first demo seemed a lot harder. I remember dying a lot even in the first area of the game. Later I played previews 1 and 2 and in fact felt easier. I prefer it harder but I understand most players prefer how it is now.

2 Denuvo was removed according to the devs.

3 I agree that char faces are ugly. I think that only one face (in preview 2) were at least average. I hope more faces will be added.

Despite this, I liked this game and all this will hardly be changed now. But we hope these opinions affect their next game.

To me, the worst part was the lack of movesets and boring combat skills. For example, the Heavy Attack (not sure if the name is correct). The skill sucks by itself. But WHY this should take ANOTHER button when this could be an upgrade for the Light Attack that you activate by charging the Light Attack button. Same for the Uppercut. You could just press Light Attack + Up (or Down). The game needs more variety of movesets for different weapons.

Another issue is that tower shields doesn't seen to stagger enemies, making them almost pointless.

the uppercut attack is okeyish, the problem to me is that it deals the same damage as a regular attack. the bleed seems to do 0 damage from what i could see.

it'd be nice if it could be chained into the regular attack string a bit more easily and if it was a bit stronger, currently there's 0 reason to use it because all it does is apply a bleed and it seems like the bleed doesn't even work to begin with.

It works but the bleeding damage is quite low. And the direct damage is only 110% weapon damage (if I'm not mistaken). Anyways I dislike the adrenaline mechanics too. I don't know. The game has potential. It's playable, for sure, especially considering that's rare games like these with classes to choose. I want to play but it's nothing really special at this state IMO.

the Ugly characters was enough for me to not enjoy the game. These Western Developers dont want to learn what gamers want in there games.

I didn't bought it exactly because of these two points (Denuvo isn't a thing on PS5). The combat looked and played boring. Way too less active skills to use. And ugly characters is an absolute no-go for me. The mc doesnt have to be a bombshell, but at least decently female looking.
