fantastic game looking even more fantastic on PC!
definitely worth enabling windows HDR so u can select it ingame and tweak it in the brightness settings of the game. this eliminates any washed out color issues and makes everything more intense without the need of reshade!

great game but i cant recommend it in its current buggy state. liquids just glitch trough everything solid, odd game changes with updates that make no sense only make the game harder and harder. you are entirely relying on RNG to provide you with a decent projectile spell, something you might not come across for 3 levels.. its just not as enjoyable as it was before 1.0

This is a shameless ripoff of Dark Souls 1 and 2 combined, the combat might be more flashy, but the area's just feel like Budget Souls trying to copy areas like Farron Keep and Anor Londo. Everything just feels so cheap like how new areas are connected by giant hallways going on forever. Cathedral of the sacret blood tried to get the rotating platforms in but instead they went with copy-paste handles/switches, linked to doors everywhere. certain effects and physics dont even work properly past 30 FPS so its also a badly optimized port. The story goes absolutely nowhere and character face expressions are lacking. enemy variety is good enough, but again.. most of them are not original and just slight variants of the souls universe's enemies. I really wanted to give this game a positive review but the longer i play it, the more it starts to piss me off

I should also state how the character creator may seem super detailed at first, but you have no control over facial feature placements, making the ammount of unique looking characters rather limited...

good graphics, gunplay and sounds
everything else is mediocre at best

terrible port with weird frame pacing, broken launcher and dated gameplay which hasn't been remastered at all..

graphics are nice tho.. but thats all

I'm a huge fan of Fromsoftware game's but i ran in too many things that frustrate me to give this game a positive review. The camera is just horrible.. it constantly tries to center itself, it has the auto-wall-recovery feature of previous games but no way to turn it off and with the lone shadow boss fight it just panned trough the fog, completely making it unable to see anything at all..

The grapling hook and all the ledge climbing feels overdone and often respond janky to your camera's location or positioning, i got tired of seeing the same copy pasted tree trunk over and over rather quickly.

on top of that the game is being inconsistent with its own rules, sometimes i can walk of ledges, other times theres a invisible wall that forces me to jump to get off, this together with the camera is my main source of death, which only adds more frustration to an already frustratingly hard game. I know its tough to find a balance between fun and challenge but i find myself more often raging instead of admiring the beauty of the game. dark souls and bloodborne made me feel hopeless due to its gigantic boss fights at times, but they were all still fun and fair. in this game i feel like im just cycling trough all the shinobi tools till i find one that makes the boss extremely easy, which otherwise seems imposible.

i dunno.. i smell a lot of activision bullcrap going on in this game

amazing game really, feels more polished/finished than any other early access game

if you love to have even worse RNG than darkest dungeon, this is your game

Boring excesive cutscenes with stuttering characters
Boring gameplay
Boring UI
Boring everything

First maplestory is still a milion times better than this.

the game is alright but this abomination of a soundtrack and all the hand holding done by npcs ruin it all...
"you cant go there, theres dangerous monsters"
"theres treasure up there, look!"
"use this ladder to get to the palace from the rooftops"

let me figure this stuff out myself ffs...

the overworld soundtrack is like 2 minutes long in this garbage midi quality, which i already grew tired of after hearing it twice, great way to brain damage someone.

also wtf is with all the accents in the text? i feel like i am being educated in 5 different languages by this game. most of the time its half english, half french or w/e other country mixed in and makes it painfully slow to read.

then theres the poorly tested balance between normal (easy as piss) mode, and draconian hard monsters. have fun getting all your characters mesmerised and one shot finger flicked by Dora every single turn unless you cheese it by using wild side and sap. which seems to be the way to go for every single boss.

The story isn't much better either at the moment i'm writing this and feels like a lackluster standard shonen anime story. the only part that touched me so far was the mermaid part.

the graphics, enemy design and gameplay is alright most of the time but as you see there are too many little things that piss me off and prevent me from giving a positive review.
