This game is.... AWESOME.

I waited 371 hours and 100%ed the game on the highest difficulty and I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt this game is amazing.

FIRST OF ALL 1 thing.
I want to appreciate a Vampire game that focuses on the pure coolness of Vampires.
So much Vampire media weather it be movies, games, books, ect. it feels it almost ALWAYS about sex or romance and never really about how cool Vampires are.
So its nice that none of that is in here and it just focuses on being a cool powerful Vampire.

About the game itself

1. Gameplay might feel weird if you never play games similar to like Diablo or other top down camera view. It will feel a bit awkward at first but honestly its very easy to get used to in my opinion.

2. Vampire customization isn't anything SUPER in depth but there's plenty of options and nothing really to complain about. The male vampires do look a little weird with the body type they were given but still look cool.

3. The gameplay progression is very rewarding. Fighting bosses to unlock new abilities or tech to further increase your power to fight others.
The bosses are very challenging especially on brutal difficulty similar to souls games where you likely will need to make multiple attempts before you get it.
(If you like a challenge I HIGHLY recommend playing on Brutal Difficulty. It gives bosses new moves and additional phases)

4. The ability to tailor a build to fit a playstyle you like is ALWAYS fun for me there are so many weapon, spell, armor, potions, blood types, weapon coatings, and passives you can pic and choose from.
Me personally I enjoyed playing with the claw weapons and just going high crit and and attack speed just going full on wolverine basically.

5. Graphics I like a lot. its a mix of cartoonish but it can be very pretty and grim dark in a lot of places

6. Castle building is just oh so awesome one of my FAVORITE things to do is just try to make a gorgeous castle

7. You can always host your own private game for just you or you and your friends so if you're like me who didn't really have interest in the PVP aspect of the game you don't have to partake in it. Though if you like games like Rust or Dayz for the PVP you might have fun with it.

8. The game CAN be grindy however when hosting your own game you can tweak almost every setting to your liking so things don't take so much time to farm or craft.

9. Combat is very fluent and not super stiff I have no complaints about it.

10. The sun mechanic is also very nice. You don't just instantly implode when coming in contact. During the day you have to play around the shadows to avoid taking damage and its very well done.

I really don't have many or any negative things to say about this game. BUT if I were to put myself in other peoples shoes I'd say that these things might turn you off to the game.

1. The camera angle is awkward not old Resident Evil awkward but if you arn't used to it, it might not be something you can get over.

2. If you are easily frustrated or have limited patients. These bosses ESPECIALLY at higher difficulty you can't brute force through. A lot of them ARE very difficult and can be really frustrating to fight. I've cursed at this game many times.


TLDR I really think this is one of the best Vampire games to ever be released and I couldn't recommend this game more, it's truly one of my favorite games.

I like this game however it's basically impossible to enjoy. I have a AMD Radeon 7900xtx and it can play the game at max settings just fine... until it just randomly crashes seemingly out of nowhere. No rhyme or reason just randomly crashes mid mission.

Which makes it impossible to actually get anywhere or even want to load up anything because I can put a good 10 20 minutes into a mission and just lose everything and get nothing because the game decided to freeze.

It really sucks because I was really liking this game and was ready to sink a ton of hours into it but i flat out cant. all motivation to play it is gone because I cant fix this issue for the life of me.

I've tried everything in the play book

Restarting PC
Lowering Graphics
Running admin
Disabling Overlays
Frame Gen off or on
Full screen
Windowed
Downgrading graphics drivers
Moving the game to M.2 Drive instead of SATA SSD
Verifying files

no matter what I do I can't get this game to consistently work properly. Sometimes when I think it's finally working the next time I boot it up it just wants to start crashing again.

Otherwise I'd recommend the game but since I flat out can't play the game with a system that's well above the recommended requirements and no apparent remedy to truly solve the problem I'm basically at the mercy of AMD and the Devs to do something about it.

I want to play this game so bad but Capcom just doesn't want to fix these issues. It's not UNPLAYABLE for me, but if my system is well above the recommended requirements then it should run buttery smooth.

I have an AMD Radeon 7900 XTX a card that ran me $1,000 and it cant run this game at the highest settings 1440p above 60fps
Now I know that's a lot better than a lot of people who can't play the game at all. but if you tone down the settings from the highest to literally anything else the game is so horrible to look at that it gives me a headache.

But at least there Frame Generation! Yeah nope can't have Frame Generation on without the game hard crashing within a few minutes of playing. Which really sucks because with Frame Gen it brings me up from 60fps to 150fps

We should not live in a world where a ONE THOUSAND dollar graphics card cant have this game run like butter.

So many other games on this card run so good. But Monster Hunter Wilds?

I cant wait for this game. I'm excited what more options and ships they will add in the full game!

Pros
1. Weapons are cool and expended on much more since the second game on mobile
2. Graphics, Animations, Particle effects all look great
3. All the original characters from the 2nd game along with some new ones
4. Haven't come across really any bugs and game breaking glitches, game runs pretty smoothly
5. I like the addition of the "purple empowered" zombies that drop high level weapons every time I see one I drop everything to kill him just to see what he will drop.
6. The ability to apply the difficulty level and at what speed it accelerates is great! It always sucks playing games like this and you have to play through the slow beginning every time. AND if you like it to slowly ramp up you can still do that.
7. It's only $9
8. The perks in the game are all pretty interesting some carried over from the 2nd game and some new ones
9. Its 3 player co op a step up from the second game only having 2 player co op

Cons
1. I could be wrong here but it really seems like you can just own all the perks there's no indication on a limit. If that's the case I really hope they set a limit like only able to have 5 or 6 at a time because having all the perks at once really defeats the purpose of making a build in the end game when you just have everything ( I will have comments on if anyone would fact check this for me )
2. Currently there's only one map and I hope they ad more in the future. One of my favorite maps from the 2nd game was the shopping mall
3. Not really a con for me but it is a bit grindy which I personally don't mind but know other people may not enjoy that.
4. I'm not a huge fan of not being able to break things to get ammo. There are some perks to remedy ammo, but for the most part you're picking up other weapons when you run out of ammo. Which is while I feel like Melee is going to be the strongest build in the game since they don't use ammo.

Overall this is a great game and I'd like to thank Mika Mobile for making this. I remember playing sooo much of the second game on my phone while I was still in school.
I'm hoping you keep updating the game I know I myself and more than willing to buy DLC for things like new maps new guns and new survivors.

Pros:
1. Great game a lot of heroes to start with none behind a pay wall
2. Game play is fun fast paced
3. Art style is great giving a lot of respect to comic books
4. Partner system is really cool ( allows certain heroes to gain an extra ability when they are paired with other certain heroes )
5. Heroes have pretty extensive kits some simple some complex
6. The game provides full video examples and descriptions of all abilities to help further understand what they do and how they should be used
7. A lot of Heroes/villains who aren't considered popular were still considered and given love like: Jeff the land Shark, The Punisher, Squirrel Girl, Moon Knight, ect.

Cons:
1. Game currently is a RAM hog. 16GB is not good despite it being recommended and likely Ryzen 5 CPUs will not be able to keep up as well given the fact that I'm running a Ryzen 7 5700x with 16GB of RAM and while playing my RAM and CPU usage is almost completely maxed out resulting in a good amount of frame lag and drops while playing. This is likely just poor optimization and maybe within a update or two can be resolved. I know Marvels
Avengers had a similar issue when that was released.

2. Audio queues such as hero abilities needs some work the only distinct things you can really hear are heroes shouting their ultimate voice lines everything from gunfire, basic abilities, ect. all just blend in together. This just helps with overall game play experience and allow players to use game information to manage their plays.

3. No role queue mode. This is obviously subjective but just like Overwatch without a role queue you're going to run into an issue where everyone just wants to play a DPS hero and no one wants to play a support or tank which often results in your team getting rolled because you don't have assistance from other roles. again this is purely personal preference on my part.

4. Minor thing. When talking in game chat via mic there doesn't seem to be a display anywhere to show you who on your team is speaking. This just helps when a player is requesting help they don't need to say "I'm X hero and X hero is on me"


Over all 1000% recommend the game it feels like a lot of love was put into it and respect for players and cant wait for future updates.

I've played a good amount of Payday 2 and while I not demanding Payday 3 to be a carbon copy of Payday 2 it has lost so much of its charm.

For the record gameplay is fun and honestly pretty good.
Gunplay is smooth
New mechanics like lock picking, hostage taking, and hacking are all cool and good changes.

Perk on the other hand feel extremely underwhelming. Nearly everything revolves around this "Edge, Grit, and Rush" System.
Edge gives you 10% more damage
Grit makes you take 10% less damage
Rush makes you move fast

All of the perks revolve around this system and it really boring. Perks don't feel unique they don't feel like they fit any niche or strategy. The perks are kinda all just minor buffs to small stats that are hardly notice.

Wheres the Inspire and iron man perks? Nothing feels like it really at all effects the game in any way.
for example one of the last skills in the medic tree is called "Triage" and this is what it does.

TRIAGE: If you have EDGE, GRIT, and RUSH, it will heal you for an additional 15 for each buff that is active when you interact with a Medic Bag or First Aid Kit.

Like okay? How often are you making really any use out of this perk?

The only perk ive seen that is anything on the level of the inspire or iron man perk in terms of game impact is the Power Lifter perk, which allows you to carry 2 bags at once. THATS a good perk THATS a perk that is worth taking and feels impactful.

This whole Edge, grit and rush system needs to be redone things like those buffs should be just additons to perks because a lot of the perks are just ways to obtain edge, grit and rush they don't do really anything else.

NEXT THING

Matchmaking... Matchmaking as most have already said and complained about is terribly designed and they should just do a carbon copy of Payday 2's crime.net.

More than half the heists I've joined have been in progress, so I almost never get to play the beginning of any heist I just get ploped into the middle of a shootout its extremely lame. And there isn't really any alternative besides playing with a group of friends or solo (which they only added recently its in beta)

Payday 2 matchmaking system was by far one of the most perfect match making systems I've ever seen. You can let everyone know what heist you're doing, what difficulty, stealth or loud, ect.
Now join a lobby (likely mid game) and don't know if anyone is going loud or stealth.

PLEASE PLEASE just bring back the old matchmaking system!

So I cant recommend the game in its current state it still needs work and I pray it gets better over time.

I got this on sale for $6 the original price of $25 is criminal for a game that can be completed within 30 minutes. I played the original as a kid and the updated graphics are good but for me it didn't have the same charm as the original.

if they added an option to play with the original graphics that could justify the $25 price tag.
its just a remake so I wasn't expecting anything ground breaking I don't recommend getting it when its not on sale because again $25 for this is just insane.

ALSO I'm so tired of punching my name in at the end game screen and it telling me I cant because "swear words were detected"

Okay 1. Who are you protecting?
and 2. My name is Hunter that's all i put in. I didn't put Hassunter... I just put in "Hunter" that's it, no bells or whistles to it. just really dumb and maybe a petty thing to get annoyed at but seriously?? How?

Yet Another Zombie Survivors is a solid game ESPECIALLY for the price. Its simple but fun.
Good variety of characters to fit how you like playing
The team system is really cool to see how strong you can build them
Leveling your guns and abilities is also extremely fun.

This is an early access game that feels very well polished only thing its missing is maybe a couple other survivors and maps.
