Not sure how I feel about it tbh...

I've played little Lann or Fiona on vindi, mostly Hurk, Grimden, Arisha, and Sylas... I'm also not claiming to be a hardcore vindi player... I just don't feel "Vindictus" on this... It feels more souls-like, there's no positioning, no stamina managing, no sp managing, the combos feel lack-luster, too few trash mobs. When I played vindi I felt powerful, like mobs and bosses were trying to survive against me.

On the bright side, the graphics are stellar, the optimization is actually acceptable, and the throwback emotes are nostalgic. I see what Nexon is going for, I just don't think I'm the target audience.

All in all, Vindictus will still be one of the greatest games of all time, I'll never change my opinion on that. I think they should have used a different name other than "Vindictus"

I feel the same way.
What made it different from the original? Compared to the original, there are more actions that involve canceling attack motions and dodging, which makes it less fun. You often receive damage from your own movement rather than the enemy's movement. The original feels more fun.

I also feel the same way. It's good combat, but it's not as rewarding as vindictus.

It all revolves around the controller scheme and the gameplay changes as a result. Fiona doesn't even play like a shield character anymore and relies on dodging half the time.

I'm glad it doesn't have a stamina system, Sekiro proved that a game can still be extremely challenging without that annoying system. Stamina systems destroy the action combat in these types of games, having to retreat and wait for a stamina bar to refill is lame.

Fiona felt really good as a shield character, her blocking (L1) and countering (Triangle 1x or x2 after stand blocking) feel great. I didn't use her crouching block as much 'cause u can't counter on it.

I'm not a huge fan of the yellow and red attacks, but I guess those are just there to nerf Fiona lol, otherwise u'll breeze through everything.

I like new combat much better than old Vindictus.

Tbh this feels way more like OG Vindictus with a bit slower combat than DS. It's also way faster than DS. Only the checkpoints remind me of DS.
