My thoughts on the game

[dahliawuff]

Im pretty new to pc gaming, switched from PS5 to my own gaming pc, running on rx 6800 gpu and I7-9700K processor. DX12, High graphic settings; 1440p (still working on upgrading my pc in the future but for now, this is all I can do with my pc til I save up XD).

Overall, I had a very fun experience with this game, I do hope that the devs see this discussion and make fixes before the release, as the optimaztions for the cutscenes on pc truly could use some more love. I had very little to no lag during actual gameplay and it felt smooth overall, but during cutscenes I received constant lag and stutter. If the optimization gets fixed, I will 100% purchase the full game as I felt like the lag really took away some of the experience during those awesome cutscenes, especially during the final boss cutscenes. I absolutely loved the combat, the blocking was smooth and perfect guard was crisp (could use a bit more impact on perfect guard though...similar to Lies of P). I did not gain the chance to unlock many skills, but what I DID, unlock...it was truly so cool. The scenery was gorgeous and the enemy types were also cool, especially the yeti boss and the final demo boss. Khazan seems awesome and reminds me of Clive from FF16, and it brought tears of joy in my eyes XD. Gameplay reminds me of Lies of P, Black Myth Wukong, Final Fantasy and Elden Ring. I enjoyed every moment of this awesome demo and if the cutscenes get optimized, I will be purchasing day 1. Looking forward to seeing the fixes and such, and I hope you all will have a fun time playing this amazingly designed demo. (Also, for the people who are crying about there only being 3 weapons...stop crying... they could have given us fists and i would have been satisfied. If you want a katana, go play devil may cry or elden ring lol)
