Have really been enjoying this so far, and I'd guess I'm about half-way through my first play-through. The game is forgiving, there's no long-term time pressure, consumables can (eventually, but not right away) be reobtained in various ways, and no scenario is unwinnable as far as I can tell.

Be warned it really doesn't explain anything on how mechanics work - you're left to figure out how almost everything works on your own through trial and error. I mostly enjoy how it's handled, though I wish they explained how crafting worked and what you can do to improve your assistant's attributes just a little more than it does (which is basically not at all) - I was definitely dragging my feet more than I should have been until I realised how one of the mechanics fully worked. For most things in the game its approach is fine, but those two things could stand to have a little more explanation since they're not as obvious or intuitive.

Haven't played a Souls game to completion since the OG PS3 Demon's Souls. This has me absolutely captivated so far, and is leaps and bounds ahead of all the other Soulsbourne games I've tried over the years so far.

I put this game down for a while, but I always come back. It's a really fun time, especially with friends.

Fun game! I wish it dug deeper into certain aspects of the story they told, or leaned more into the horror side of things, but otherwise I had a blast going through it.

Even as a casual baseball fan, this has been a lot of fun. Still learning the ropes, but both Standard and Perfect Team modes have delivered a great experience so far.

I wish there were a few more "newbie friendly" options built into the games. Just little things like the ability to enable more detailed tooltips to explain what some of the more obscure stats actually are in-game instead of having to go to the online manual, etc. Otherwise, I'm having a blast.

I'll be a Sabertooth Tiger in no time! At least, I assume that's what they call the best Sabertrics Analysts out there. If not, they need to reevaluate their priorities.

Fantasic game. If your a fan of old school adventuring and platforming with puzzles and lots of challenge, this one is for you.

Devs just announced that they're not releasing any more updates for the PC version, including all the new DLC content or patches for the buggy netcode that they promised.

Don't worry, consoles are still churning along fine and getting tons of love. Not buying another game from these guys again. I sincerely hope you don't either.

Jumped 50 feet in the air and nearly pooped my pants because of a cardboard cutout of a pudding ghost.

10/10
