There is a graininess to this game that makes it very difficult to see things at times. It's weird. Maybe it is my HDR. I'm going to try it without HDR and see what happens. Still getting a hang of the combat. Beautiful game.

I've seen gameplay, but I had ask, the game as a whole, what does it resemble the closest in terms of play (to another game) and its systems?

Combat is animation driven with a stamina bar like Dark Souls, while the perspective and loot systems resemble Diablo. The world is completely handcrafted, so going through areas will likely feel more like a Souls game.

So far so good.

Only two requests so far:
1) be nice if interactive objects were a bit shinier and easier to see
2) I'd love to be able to zoom in the camera like you can in D4

Can I ask a huge favor? Can you let me know if there are any HUD options, ie, can you turn off the floating health bars? Super interested in this game but don't wanna buy it unless I can clean up the onscreen UI

Not sure how I feel about the combat yet. It feels like enemies don't follow the same rules I do, like they have way more stamina and don't get staggered in the same way.

Just was able to play it for a quick bit to see how it ran on my system. Pretty smooth with dynamic res. Even in the settings they mention DLSS coming soon.

Bunch of nods to Souls. I've even been exploiting the roll behind enemies to perform a critical backstab. Also liking the variety of animations they have for different weapons.

LET ME PAUSE THE GAAAAAAAAAME. AUGH.

Offline games should always have a pause button available, unless I'm outright missing it here.

Reading some of the steam reviews and it's clear some of these people have never played an Early Access game.

Does it heavily into the ARPG loot side, the soulsborne side, or strikes right in the middle?

I'd say this game has very little of Diablo in it, it's a straight up top down Dark Souls, period.

not feeling the combat really, though, you can't block/parry or dodge during the attack animations? that seems like a huge mistake.

The combat feels like Lords of the Fallen (2014) so far. I hope it gets better but the opening feels very sluggish and floaty.

Yes, and that content is sometimes sponsored by a company that supplies them with a code so they can show it to their dedicated fanbase. Again, "part of their job".

That's like saying taking steroids is part of a wrestlers job. That it happens doesn't make it acceptable or part of the job.

Watching someone play on TikTok live and it seems a bit floaty, but it might be his settings.

LOL what are the chances we both use the term "floaty" and at the same time.

But yeah, in addition it felt a bit like the attacks were taking up too much of the screen for an ARPG. Maybe like they're playing a slow version of MvC. It could just be because it has a more cartoon art style and I'm used to the very quick and brutal Diablo.

Done with the DF video.

Oh man, I hope I won't regret the purchase, seems a 4090 and high end CPU can barely hold 60fps with it.
Goodbye 120 dream here I guess.

Just bought this and downloading it now. I'll give it a shot tonight on my ROG Ally, expecting Early-Access level quality.

Played for half hour or so on the deck

Liking it so far. Having the same button as dash and climb has caused me quite a few deaths, haven't checked by I hope I can remap one of them

Mixed reviews on Steam right now with a lot of complaints about being unable to remap controls but not sure if this just keyboard or the controller too.

I am on 4070 TI Super, 7800X3D. I am playing Quality mode and getting 110 to 120 FPS on Balanced mode at 1440P. This is getting high GPU usage though so I may turn it down to Perfromance. This game definitely seems to require a powerful GPU.

Aside from occasional stutter when loading new zones and weird cutscene bugs... game has been very solid so far. I haven't died aside from dieing through falling but the game does test you like most Souls games. It seems that Whispers (Bonefires) don't heal you but also enemies don't respawn?

This is definitely an isometric Souls games, has very other similarities to Diablo/PoE style game.
