At first I wasn't really into the QTE system, but now I trained and understood some tricks (use the sound of attacks, get the rhythm etc) it grew on me at a point that I wasn't waiting and it gives me that little adrenalin spin in combats.

On the other aspects of the game what to say ?
- Graphics : Simply beautiful and really poetic
- Music : Beside some "funny" musics on some fights the rest is always on point and really underline what's going on screen
- Story : I won't say much here because I don't want to spoil anything, but it's the kind of story where you don't really understand half of what's happening or more precisely why it's happening...and you feel that it's leading in some places but you just can't grab it yet. You spend your time having suppositions of what's really going on here. I like it, at least a game that doesn't explain everything to you like your IQ is lower than stone.
- Exploration : I'm surprised that the exploration is rewarding, and I would dare to say that people not exploring will miss a lot of content, picto, weapons etc. Wander around, get stunned by a beautiful and macabre scenery, find some secrets, get wrecked by a random monster.
- Characters : They don't feel like archetypes, they all have their strength and flaws. Nobody is perfect but everyone brings something.

And last but not least, at this price it's insanely cheap for a game of this quality.

J'apprécie vraiment le côté plus lent mais avec plus de skill comparé au 1.
Ce que je reprochais au premier (spam potions, build zappette, encombrement des effets à l'écran etc) ont été retravaillés ici.
Je meurs souvent sur les boss mais j'y prend un réel plaisir quant à découvrir la strat et mes erreurs à chaque try.
Très bon jeu et au pire si vous n'aimez pas ce nouveau rythme, le 1 est toujours très bon.

I'm having a lot of fun ! It's all that matters

It's an UE5 skin for Lineage 2 basically...with a cash shop.
Nothing new if you've played Korean MMOs before.

A beautiful empty shell, technically nothing to say, it's beautiful, well optimized, nice soundtrack etc...but it's boring and overly complicated for no reason. The crafing system is cluncky and uninspired for example.
And as in many KR games, they confound PvP with Griefing.

The combat isn't great either, you only spam all your skills as soon as they are up.

Seriously if you want to play a KR grindfest but with nice graphics and a lot better gameplay go on Black Desert Online.

The game can be fun and I enjoyed playing on a heavily modded server...but mostly for it's community and mods.

That's the point of my negative review : devs are lazy and count too much on the modding community to make the game playable/optimized.
The pace of updates is really slow, they are teasing people for months for what looks like a hut in the swamps with maybe some npc selling things...when modders did 10 times that kind of content.
And on top of that the game runs horribly, especially in multiplayer.

Merci Larian pour ce jeu magnifique. Cela fait bien longtemps (trop) que je n'avais pas eu un jeu qui m'enthousiasme à ce point. Vous savez...quand on est impatient de rentrer à la maison pour jouer...le plaisir de jouer en somme.

Despite bad reviews and the fact the editor is Wargaming, I bought the game because it looked original...I've not enjoyed it atm.
WASD is ok and you get used to it soon enough. Visual style is nice if you're into cartoony things. And optimization is "ok", I can run it on my MSI laptop (i5 7th gen, 1050 Ti) without issues.

But after 7 hours of playing...I already feel bored and even if I like grinding in other games like Warframe....here it's a chore. And even then you like this kind of farm, the rewards are meh, you just unlock skins/color sets (very limited atm).

Ok, there are many mods to play, but they ALL feel the same. I think the real problem here is that you fight only in the "rooms" and have to walk in between those rooms in "corridors". And corridors barely have enemies in them. I don't care slow paced combat but here it's just 30 seconds of combat...15 seconds of walking a dead area...rinse and repeat. It just breaks the rythm of the game, making it look predictible and bland.

I really hope they'll change a lot of things to improve it but atm it really doesn't worth the price I paid.
