Better than eldon rong

Never liked this game series until I was roped in to play it by two friends (one of them turned out to be an actual psycho). Heard it's got spyware now so might as well. Characters and graphics are cringe and ugly, the gameplay is alright but stay away, not worth it.

Such a faithful remaster that the Mystic Emporium is still bugged.

lethal company if it were good

Pookie told me that they cut the AK from the final build

Amazing crackpipe experience

(just make sure the "remastered" videos are turned off in the config tool, it's AI upscaled garbage that looks awful)

As usual, every enemy kills you in two to three hits (50 VGR, for the "vigor check" crowd), most poising through your attacks to stagger you out of yours, but that's to be expected from a developer team that has made their game's only selling point to be difficult for the sake of being difficult. Bosses and mini bosses with bloated HP (even some stronger normal enemies as well count) that will push most players to use bleed/frost/%HP burn incantations, because like it or not they are the most effective.

Huge outside areas (in some of which, you can't even use the horse) sprinkled with garbage items, like WHY are we still getting smithing stones [1], [3] and so on when the requirement to access this place is to defeat MOHG? Why when we can already buy AN INFINITE AMOUNT OF THEM after getting the bell bearings IN THE BASE GAME? Less than 1% of players are going to kill Mohg at a low level, and chances are if they do, they're the sort of God player that is not even going to use said upgrade materials because they want to show everyone how awesome they are that they beat the game with a broken sword (no one cares, wake up)

On the plus side, the new weapons and spells are really good and fun so far. Eventually they'll all get nerfed, though.

for the one new player that might actually read this, if you decide to play this game do NOT use the casual matchmaking. instead click on community servers and pick any with a map that doesn't start with "trade"

It's one of those games you'll miss when it's over.
