First time I sat down to play, I got overpowered Bloom/Lens Flare effects combined with missing textures to trap me in the character creation. (I had to verify cache to fix that.) Second time it crashed from a Vulkan Engine Error, followed by a soft lock when enemies I needed to kill to trigger the first mag lift ran away out of sight, and seemingly bounds. (Med Bay to fix that) Combine this with the problems other people have, and all I can see is a turd with dreams of a being a souls-clone. Not worth going through this on a regular basis.

This game weirdly punches above its weight and somehow made it into my top 5 list of Soulsborne titles, a list with incredibly fierce competition these days (mostly from FromSoftware themselves).

The top review mentions serious performance issues; in 46 hours of play, I've yet to actually come across this, and it actually runs better than expected at 4k60 despite my low-mid tier rig. But YMMV on that. Try it for the two hour refund window first.

Really close to being better than the first one. But its not. The whole game is a roller coaster, some things ar absolutly a 10/10. while others 2/10. The addition of ziplines might be my last favorite new thing, this taking place in a city, and only a small portion of that city, without the excellent level intricacy like the first one had. This game felt like when I played Lords of the Fallen, The first time they tried to release it ( what was that like 10 years ago now?) lots of flash, very little depth, and terrible world building.
