I, for one, cannot wait for the future to bring us towering dommy mommy robots

Solid, and gets even better with Golden

Everyone in this game is so hot.

The fact that you can reset all of your friend's progress by turning into Michael Morbeus makes this game 10/10

Ah, man. You'd think I would've learned my lesson with preordering super overhyped games after Cyberpunk 2077. I guess old habits die hard.

This game went under my radar way back when I was in high school, and watching the very first trailer released for it I was blown away not only by the various enemy varieties by also by eccentric yet memorable art direction. To be honest, I am a bit sad that they switched the art direction from this creepy survival game vibe to more of what seems live action themed one with quippy one liners and Call of Duty scenes (the crash of the train car, for example).

I will admit I did have fun exploring the map, and I will say the research complexes are the best parts - an easy way for the devs to implement and show these fucked up science experiments and to let their creative direction run wild.

Graphics are beautiful, and I will say the opening scene/area reminded me a lot of Bioshock Infinite's Columbia with introducing this fictional picturesque world before everything goes to shit.

Combat was alright, though I will admit once you utilize the Electro + Zvezdochka combo you literally win the game with the emp blast + melee swings replenish energy combo being wicked busted. Easily the most frustrating thing in this game is the repair bots system in the overworld- which pretty much mitigates any robots you've destroyed and any progress you make. And they don't even have a cooldown or limited amount to spawn in, it's literally endless until the destroyed robot is fully repaired!

I know people have already complained about the awful writing and the even worse English dubbed audio for this game, so I'm not gonna go more in - depth with it. I just want to comment on the protagonist being so fucking unlikeable - and I get that not every protagonist has to be a goody two shoes overly nice person but this dude will literally be such a dick for no reason (Like when he would ask a question to his glove companion then proceeds to get annoyed at the answer for the question he asked for in the goddamn first place.)

Lastly, I gotta talk about the endings man because fuck man did they fumble the bag. It's clear that they wanted to set the ending up to be hinting towards a sequel or something else, but fuck does it feel so rushed or they probably had something else in mind.

Honestly, not the worst game I've played however another big letdown for me. I will say that it is very impressive that Mundfish was able to create something like this as their first game though, and I actually am looking forward to potential future projects they have.

A dogshit clusterfuck of a "game" that I can't believe I had to sit through and play. Level designs, boss fights, and even the ending twist of Bowser becoming huge through Kamek's magic were all lazily imported or didn;t even come close to matching the original Wii's level that made it so amazing. Crown powerup is fucking useless for the main group but insanely broken for one character, Nabbit can suck on my doo doo, and P Acorn breaks the game.

What an amazing game. So much to love about this game.
The audio? Makes you tense up in your seat having to listen to the crying, pained moaning, and psychotic laughter as you desperately try and run through a burned/infected district. Hearing "There he is!" or "Hey, you!" when walking around at night is honestly scary as you jerk your camera at high speeds to see who spotted you.

The gameplay? Nail biting infected and death RNG meters that could end your favorite character's life while you watch helplessly, desperately rushing around town trying to fulfill not only the main story quests but specific character's quests as well, praying that your attacker doesn't break your guard as you health bar is at a pitiful level, and scurrying between both the steppe and the town trying to gather herbs for your medicine/trading with the townsfolk for the last essential item you've been looking for.

The atmosphere? Amazing. The clashing of religion between the kin and the townsfolk, the conflicts between the Inquisitor and the commander, the dead and decaying color palette of the infected/burnt districts, the ominous kin chanting you hear from around town, and overall the gradual rotting of the town near the end game.
I also love how there's no jumpscares in this game, but the overall atmosphere is what get's you to crack.

This game is difficult, and it knows that. You'll probably get your ass kicked, and that's fine. There's a reason they provided the difficulty meters, which are accessible at any time. However if you choose to tackle this frustration you learn that it's not how many times you get knocked down, it's how many times you continue to push forward to save the lives of your town. (In the Haruspex's perspective) The town that you've might've abandoned in the past, but have decided to stick by it during this awful time because of love and justice of clearing your name from a blood soaked murderer to a saint.

The only downside I see to this game is the ending, and all I'm going to say is that it's not terribly bad, I just wished it could've been handled differently.

TL;DR : Play this game it's like adult Animal Crossing with Dark Souls difficulty, and for theatre kids.

Amazing as hell dlc that provides challenging bosses and such immersive new areas to explore

The most fun I've had was playing this game with my friends and talking so much shit/raging at them

Dimitri can tear me to shreds and I'd be okay with it

What is this, some kind of squid game?

So far it has deserves all the hype. A true successor and replacement for Bloodborne Pc. The atmosphere and enemy variety is amazing and I love the system of experimentation with different weapon handles/blades. Def a lot harder than Bloodborne too considering there is very little I-frames in the dodge and that the game pushes for an even more aggressive fighting style compared to Bloodborne. Will update more after finishing it.
