Too bad the game is not fully out because it's extremely good and addicting. I didn't play the first one , but I do not think that is an important factor in getting into POE2 . Obviously, you probably need some time to get used to all the important things, such as gems, crafting , and build management , etc. I would say you need to at least have some awareness of it because later in the game , you need a solid build so you do not struggle for no reason.

Visuals are outstanding and gorgeous to look at ; especially for a top - down viewpoint game , they made great use of effects and visuals. I love the cinematic and creative fights they pulled off with this graphics . Combat feels fluid and responsive, and abilities are well done and creative. Sometimes there can be a lot of visual clutter, but that's how the game works - just my personal opinion.

Bosses are outstanding and visually gorgeous -extremely creative and memorable. Even if you somehow do not like the game and you are a Souls fan , you should still play it just for the sake of the bosses. I can't wait for the full release of the game and the other three acts.

Amazing game with one of the best combat setting systems out there. The Parry system is responsive and amazing. Feel very smooth and satisfying. I enjoyed the game a lot, but I wasn't a fan of branching paths and map layout. Navigating was very bad, and I love the Ds1 style of map design and Elder Ring. Big flop, in my opinion. 

Generaly speak as well about the bosses. To be honest, I feel like it's one of the weeks catalogs. Overpraising from soft fanboys. The best bosses are the nonhuman ones. I do love Genihiro, and he is amazing and obviously ishin, but they are humanoid guys that repeat and reappear 1000x times. Bosses are reused, and right and side bosses are mid-quality at best. That's one of my biggest complaints honestly about Sekiro in general. Overpraised rouster of bosses that isn't really justified.

Music is just there; I cannot remember any iconic track or anything; it's solid sometimes amazing. No real complaints. Few bosses have very solid osts.
Story exists; it's there to serve its purpose. Otherwise, weakest part of the game probably. It's nothing special. Probably the best part is that dragon rot is spreading on npcs, etc.
Visuals are very good, and few maps are breathtaking. 

In general, the game is outstanding. It's not a masterpiece, though in my opinion. 
Worth every penny and your time.

I will recommend the eldest souls. Just because I got it for very cheap, I do not think the full price game is worth it because it's very short. Most people do not care in general, I would say about NG+ and then onwards, so most of the time people will stop playing the game after completing it.
For the sake of that, I would only recommend the game for under 5 euros. It's not worth more in 2024, and it's meant for souls craving people. 

I find the game very strange, as in mixed bag of everything. It has very nice, beautiful art and visually amazing-looking bosses. I loved the art direction of the game. However, I disliked the balance of the boss's HP.
HP Pool of Bosses is not really enjoyable since you are playing Perma Aggro, and if you hit the wall and cannot win a boss, I can see a casual player dropping the game completely due to frustration.

Even when you finish the game, I think NG+ is way more brutal than the original difficulty, so the buffs, etc. are lowkey irrelevant due to abbyssal bosses and more patterns, and you get some debuffs. So if you won't grind achievements, do it in a new game and some in NG+. Not worth going onwards. 

Disliked how the game instantly throws you into newgame+ and you cannot backtrack something if you forgot to do it. Big disappointment on that part.
Personally, I'm not a fan of combat; a lot of attacks are slightly deceptive, and it won't be the player's fault when he gets hit, imo at least. 

I did enjoy the game, but at the same time it was like a lower-tier Souls game. Nothing too crazy to remember except art design and a few outstanding bosses. By that, I mean that the game has insane competition already with amazing titles, and this is just a nice 2 days of gaming and then forgetting about it.

Final thoughts:

Nioh is an okey game but its obviusly made by team Ninja. They take alot of parts of diffrent souls games and somehow manage to make it even worse.
Looting system is one of the worst systems i seen in my life. Player will quickly lose interest early in the game from drops only a true fanboy will read every singular gear that they have aquired. Sadly thats one of the biggest letdowns.

Minions are god awfull becouse the game is so long you need diffrent set of units and diffrent attack patterns to keep the player engages. Obviusly they fail to do so and place enemys all over the place making it frustrating at alot of points becouse of burnout.
Also recopy pasta of bosses 24/7

Mission UI and menu HUB looks like from cheap google playstore game. Very dissapointing not going to life. Submissions are AWFULL and not WORTH YOUR TIME. I did every singular side mission in the game and i was never as burnout as i was in this game. Only good part about side missions are npcs you enounter and you can fight later on as a bossfight.

Bosses have some amazing moments and cutscenes are very nice tho. Few exceptions completly outshine most of the boss catalog. Dlcs are exception expecialy first DLC with the final boss and second dlc is outstanding.

I would obviusly recommend the game to big fans of the soul series but only if the game is discounted or on sale. Do NOT buy it fullprice AND you need to buy the dlcs becouse they are great additional content.

I enjoyed niohs hights and suffered in long dragging progression in the end. Got the completed edition for 12 euros so it was worth every penny tho.

Do not buy this game for full price. I only recommend this game if you are a true souls fan that will grab almost any product. It's not worth the full price, sadly, especially with the amount of effort that was put into areas, SFX, and side bosses. 
I understand that it's an indie dev company, but that doesn't mean I'll recommend it just for the sake of small studios. If you love Bloodborne and you are a die-hard souls fan, then go ahead and buy it.
As I said, buy it under 8 euros or 8 dollars or w.e. The product in 2024 is really not worth more than that. 

Story/Plot: 4.5/10

Ikea version of Bloodborne. It exists, nothing too crazy, serves its purpose, and does its job. Honestly, midway through the game, I stopped caring about it and just wanted to enjoy solid bosses.

Gameplay: 6.5/10

The highlight of the game is your skill tree and fast-paced combat that you can mix up with your abilities and weapons. Dodging is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ offten, i would say, because of the camera sometimes. 
Prefer to just parry, and it's better at the end of the day since you stay in front of the bosses. Those red attacks that they hyped up on first bosses are nonexistent. Maybi 3 bosses have them in the entire game. 
Also rating down for parrying green attacks; it's wonky, inconsistent, and completely not needed. They should let the player just parry everything or straight up dodge; we don't need another parry for specials. 

Bosses: 5.5/10 

Would give it higher, but side bosses are complete trashcans. The stinky god and hentai worm are awfull 1/10 bosses. Idk who designed and paid people to design that crap. 
Highlights of the game are the first boss of the first mission and Mega Knight and his lady. Others are completely forgettable, boring, and blended.
Final boss is 3/10. Your fighting elder ring mimics a tear that spamms abilities. They 100% tried to save budget on the final boss and just placed you for the final boss. Budget saving + easy copy pasta. Truthfully, the boss is only perma spamming his abilities with nonexistent downtime. 
Also, bosses were a breeze, especially if you opt for the correct build and weapons. Blood weapon buff is beyond busted and makes bosses look like a joke.

Music: 7/10 

Honestly, the best part about the game. No complaining, cool tracks first, boss and knight have the best OST. The main area has an amazing soundtrack as well. 

Art/Visuals: 5/10

Nothing really to talk about the bland version of Bloodborne, not even close, honestly. Castle is terrible, filled with cheap design, boring rooms, etc. Let's not talk about the first area; that might be the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ idea I have seen in souls. Mega-fart circus area. 
Few boss rooms were crazy good; the bat boss had an amazing arena and the first boss as well. 


Also, last thing, minions might be the worst in all Soulslike series. Terrible designs normal units with sticks and rusty Walmart knives. 
Some knights have jpeg grass on them? Got bored fighting them midway through the game.

music: 7.5/10 (solid Chris larking the goat)
gameplay/combat: 9/10 ( Loved the combat and charms)
bosses: 7/10 (Nothing to crazy late game has crazy good bosses tho)
story: 7/10 (Liked it alot need to check some extra lore on youtube)
visuals: 9/10 (Amazing art direction and visuals)
Progression: 9/10 (Very solid got lost sometimes tho... :o)

Worst game in soul series. Filled with clunk and bad mechanics and artifical difficulty. Didnt enjoy it what so ever Dlcs are carrying entire game with some of the bosses for example: fume knight, ivory, sinh.
Leveling adp. is crazy and the standing still and healing is a bad design. (bro takes 1 hour to heal, guess the little crystals are saving the healing system)

Art/Visuals: 5/10 (nothign special its a old game unfair imo to rate it like that for that time but hey its still mid looking visuals)

Music: 7/10 (Solid work fromsoft always does very good music)

Bosses: 2/10 (Trashcan bed of chaos exists! Xotherwise as i said dlc carrying entire game sir alonn, fume, etc.)

Gameplay: 2/10 ( no comment didnt enjoy it what so ever)

Story/Plot: (I heard it has amazing story will check lore detailed videos on youtube. But in general its okey obviusly need more details)

solid game! give it a try.
Run it on 60 fps above it is lowkey a bait

music: 6.5/10 (solid)
gameplay/combat: 8/10 (spells sucks/sekiro parrying carrying)
bosses: 8/10 (very good bosses creative design)
story: 4/10 (it exists)
visuals: 6.5/10 (nothing to crazy solid looking game)

Outstanding first product of the upcoming studio.

Has obviusly issues as last area is more experimental and underwhelming for final area. Invisible walls are a big problem.
Otherwise gorgeous work loved it every second cant wait for the DLC in 2025.

Art/Visuals: 10/10 (loved art and visuals high quality work very cinematic as well)

Gameplay: 9/10 (hope they expand on stances only liked smash stance and clones revive tree was lame, makes bosses trivial etc.)

Music: 7/10 (it exists nothing to crazy they could go all out on it saidly not a lot of memorable tracks. Peaks and amazing songs are memorable and there are a few in the game for sure)

Bosses: 9/10 (loved the list could be a bit harder tho but thats just personal view)

boob game
