God what a great game. I can understand what some people are saying about the game feeling weird to play, but after getting used to it I managed to have an absolute blast.
It feels like an alternate universe where single player FPS games stayed in the 90s and never progressed the way that it did today.
The game feels very old school with a new age flair to it that makes it all the more compelling. The weapons and mana system is pretty well balanced, and I don't think there's a single weapon in this game that is useless in the grand scheme of things. Certain weapons deal with certain enemies better, so they all have their own usage.
The settings can be a tad repetitive sometimes, so it makes the game feel very maze-y and not in a good way sometimes.
Overall though, it feels like an old school shooter in all the best ways. I love how creative it is, and it's a fun game to come back to every now and again.

Honestly probably not for me, but I'm gonna keep playing it lmao. My gf and I get a kick out of going around looting houses and killing zombies, but what's cool about this game is that there's like a million ways to approach it. I like watching lets plays of it on youtube where the guys just go ham on this shit, because it makes for some pretty compelling stories.
For as deep as this game is, it's definitely not finished. But it's still pretty fun as is.

I think at some point I started to hate-play this game because of how fucking long it is. I really admire the game as a whole -- it looks beautiful, the new gameplay is pretty stellar for the new direction the game was going in, and the amount of content here is worth the price tag. It just numbs my brain like nothing else tho.
Every chapter felt about 5x longer than it needed to be and the amount of enemy encounters that would just drag on forever made me want to rip my hair out.
The story is rich, but also WILDLY BLOATED since they tried to stretch out what was originally a few hours in the first game into a 20+ hour long campaign.
That's really my main issue with the game is how drawn out it feels. From the bosses, to the cutscenes, and the pacing of the game as a whole -- it felt like there was no end to this shit.
I still enjoyed my time with it, but I had to stop right before the end because I just couldn't do it anymore.
Highly recommend for RPG fans, but I suggest that you pace yourself and also prepare for how long this game will feel.

Peak fiction right here. Anodyne 2 feels like the natural next step in indie, story based role playing games that came from the era of RPGMaker games in the early 2000s.
The story is beautiful and one of the few games that has ever made me cry. Playing this game felt the same as reading a beautiful piece of abstract fiction with a hint of religious influence in it.
If you have an afternoon and like 15 bucks, please play it.

My first FromSoftware game. I kinda just like walking around the world and looking at stuff. Everything is super cool, from the boss designs, to the arenas, and the world itself.
As for my gripes with the game, I did not really enjoy how clunky multiplayer feels and how invasions are just kinda annoying. You could be low level and be goofing off in a low level area with your friends, only to be invaded by some douche who decided to somehow get high level stuff and completely wreck you.
Other than that, I would say overall that the worldbuilding is the game's strongest area.

This game kinda just... sucks. Picked it up on sale because why not? The game does have its weird humor moments like "haha i'm pissing!" or "he said the petition thing!" That is all overshadowed though when you play any other part of it. While I know the point of the game is tasteless edginess though the medium of like racist stereotypes or whatever. This game shows that being edgy for the sake of edginess is not really fun nor entertaining after 3 minutes.
This game is hard as balls and makes me want to throw up sometimes but I still love it. Definitely shows insane improvement since DMC1 (and infinitely better than DMC2). It really feels like the REAL first Devil May Cry (makes sense since it’s the prequel).
The weapons are really creative and the gameplay is classic and has insane attention to detail. Whatever you see Dante do in the cutscenes, he does in game. Doesn’t need all the bells and whistles that it’s sequels have to still be a fun time. I just wish it didn’t have that classic game bull shit to make it harder.
