I almost regret playing early access because it’s so good but just not enough content! But you can see how painstakingly detailed all the content is. Such a massively ambitious game. I get stressed out just imagining if I was one of the developers of this game because of the work that’s been done and the work ahead. This game has the potential to be one of the greats overtime.
Not enough content ? It’s like 20 something hours lol
@@BROOKLYNBORN1994there's definitely not enough
The way I see it is in one year the game will have more story content, more weapon/armor/builds craftables, story, bosses, crucible etc.
Visually, the gameplay, the concept, the story, the voice acting are all great. I'd want more music personally!
@@BROOKLYNBORN1994 20 hours if you grind, but the story is not even halfway done, and theres only 3 areas outside the town,no bro, theres not enough. Hours doesnt equal content.
Yes, too short, finished within day one, but looking for better gear and repeat is also fun
An ARPG... where the story actually feels like a single player story... with "hopefully" an expansive and interesting end-game... all wrapped in a visual masterpiece...
Just remember the combat is much more souls-like than ARPG, don't want you getting face checked lmao. I get why they're calling it an ARPG but it can be a bit misleading as well.
@@jomorazero I understand why people would jump to conclusions based off the label "ARPG" because the vast majority are hyper in nature... big, loud... mindless... but that would be the individuals fault for assuming they knew the game based off a simple ARPG tag. Not the developers. I like ALL types of ARPG's for the record :P
Technically all souls-like are arpg@jomorazero
@@jlstruyde nah those are action RPGs but ARPG, whilst the letters stand for the same words, this acronym only applies to the random loot random dungeon games like d2 n poe, just like how BG3 is a CRPG even tho all RPGs are on computers
@@lordhandsomeswag1854 Your distinction is quite a commonly expressed view but far from universal. To many of us and particularly those with some gaming miles behind us, any RPG with 'arcadey' or 'hack 'n slash' combat is an ARPG. Insisting the acronym only applies to Diablo type games has never made any sense to me.
Best coverage yet! Thanks.
Excellent video man, I'm really stoked to see where this game goes. Having a blast in EA but I totally agree with the points you raised for me especially inventory management which is pretty brutal currently.
Been obsessed with this game, the combat is so crunchy and satisfying. movement is smooth too which is everything when it comes to a souls like game.
I agree. I see all that people that played the game for 2 hours and refunded. Or people crying after 10 hours the story end and there is nothing to do. The game has it's issues, but I think most people just do not get really into the game - also because there is no respeccing at all. Or they should change str/dex/int/faith - it's a stupid system yet if you do not know the game and requirements for a casual player (even though it's not better in any souls game). Just seeing that hammer throw ability wants me to try a playthrough with that weapon - maybe change my "cleric tank". But the game changes so much once you have build enabling items (e.g. for focus generation on hit etc.) which makes something like bow playstyle with no costs available etc.
Is it a really hard game? Like Dark Souls hard?
@@Mockturtlesoup1 its way more forgiving than dark souls. Especially since theres plenty of healing available. Its not DS hard but its also not mindless combat like diablo or poe. You have to memorize attack patterns and know when and when not to strike. Position is super important as well.
@@Mockturtlesoup1 Not really. I personally do not like Dark Souls or Elden Ring, but mainly because of the bosses or mini bosses. Not a big fan of this "try again" while I think the general fighting with some more difficulty is fun. NRFTW does actually this: Sure there are a couple of bosses, but the main focus is about fighting normal enemies and grind for loot. I think most people underestimate how game chaning gear can be. Especially early weapon upgrades are multiple times more important than early leveling. Some gear is even "build enabling" for builds like caster or bow is not playable full ranged without some gear or gems. People complain about it just because they do not understand the gearsystem. You barely know the game after 10 hours or just playing the story. There are more than 50 different skills on weapons which may deliver a complete different playstyle. Something like % focus on hit on a spear (or any other fast weapon) completely changes your ability to use skills etc. There is a ton of depth. The game is not perfect, but the main issue about the mid rating is that you are not getting hold by hand and it takes a lot of time to get into it. Also because there are no 1000 guides for builds on the internet like in Elden Ring - while in theory it is the complete same system. If you know or read nothing about elden ring you may also think: yeah sword and shield attacks are everything in theg ame.
@@Mockturtlesoup1 Dark Souls is not hard. SOrry to bring this to the table
It may not be anything like other arpgs, but it is EXACTLY what I've been waiting for forever. I absolutely lose interest in the typical arpg when it becomes 'spam the screen with abilities and kill a million things'. I have zero interest in that, so this makes me very very happy someone is finally sticking to slower more calculated fighting.
Good to know you can't de-level. I'd probably still avoid those until max, seen one already (lv 10 now).
I'll take these 8 or so distinct bosses over 144 which are actually only 6 who do the same boring predictable moves and aren't really a challenge any day. Plus, the overall variety of the non boss minions seems really great from what I've seen so far.
Feel the same way. I like to call typical ARPGs lawnmower games which isnt my thing. This game is my dream
Last statement a shot at Elden Ring!? How dare you
Take a look at V Rising. It's also an arpg but every fight can be death. Has multiplayer and you craft your gear etc. Also still in EA.
@@fueler5479 V rising is slated for release on 8th may so it's a bit unfair to compare it to something that basically just started out in ea.
@@mattfaustyn7766 If you mean my post; Diablo 4. I wouldn't consider Elden Ring an "arpg".
there is one huge problem with this game right now. WHen you knock down an enemy they become immune until they get back up. WHen they knock you down, they can kill you on the floor. THat makes no sense.
Great summary, man, and good comments on needed fixes. The stamina was my biggest gripe starting out. Was too punishing early on.
Later in the game now, they definitely need some QoL in the inventory management side of things. I'd take crafting from storge before anything else. Then, I'd take sorting storage and dumping the same items into storage when they are in your bag. A search or filter option wouldn't be bad, but if they added a sort and auto stack button, that'd be great. I've fallen asleep two nights in a row moving inventory. I dont mind managing the inventory to a point, but right now, I'm only in tier 2, and it's already getting out of hand.
A respec potion or something akin to that would huge. I got a legendary greatsword off the first boss in the game, and after a couple of hours, I went all in on strength. Not having a way to change out of this weapon without just starting all over is pretty dang rough.
They can make it costly for all i care, so we can't do it often, but it should definitely be an option.
Yeah I agree, but the early game without gear shall be some complete different experience I guess. The main issue is that people do not get deep enough into the game before making bad reviews. I also think that some aspects need to be removed (e.g. real time counter for building, daily or weekly quests make no sense currently / they should another form of activity to do permanently or "level" additionally, everything for inventory or rings should be unlocked from start - it also does not make sense because you can grind them on creating additional realms which is a chore doing the first boss and two weeklys over and over again).
Respec should be available maybe at least once after story. Having three agility rings for example completely changes the stamina issue for melee builds. Having 3 focus rings + 6 points in focus + 10% focus cashback on legs + focus let you start with almost 700 focus as caster at level 3 and every ability/rune you use give you 70 focus and let you spam ranged attacks. A bow build can play full ranged with a main hand with focus on hit and ranged etc. 90% of the players do not know that early on and the modern gamer is not able to discover it himself without existing guides.
QoL I absolutely agree. Respec could also be able via an XP flasks alternative. Second chars are fine, but horrible implemented (e.g. no unlocks/coins shared between chars, no housing/building status shared beteween all local realms, new char cant play on original realm etc.). Currently it is mediocre fun and does not really fit in the design. You can easily create a second char with gear from main and Xp flasks (4 tier 3 = level 11). In the end the only reason you play another char first is to try out another weapon. Nothing else. Most gear is the same with ANY build (may rings can change). But it is a bad solution currently. I think the str/dex/int/faith should be reworked, mabye cap to 50 but let us level it endlessly independend from character level by using weapons etc. So you can have a class with all 50. It does not really matter because the attributes have only affect on the weapon you use - so what is the point anyways. Having multiple characters is not a solution if you have to regrind everything only to try out a tier 3 weapon. Setting up points just to do not like them (e.g. a tier 3 weapon of the same type has maybe a complete differen animation as a tier 1 weapon of the same type - not only ability.)
Great video! I'm loving this game sooo much! My personal fav game this year so far. They really need to group all storage and allow you craft from storage. That would solve a lot of the annoyance. But yeah inventory is annoying. Also they really need descriptions on runes or a spot you can cast runes for free to try them out. Not on the Crucible. They said there will be 8 different ones at launch, but only one is available now so there will be more variety eventually. Also haven't heard anyone mention that your games and characters are all separate so you can have 10 characters in one game moving it forward or five games for one character. You literally beat the first boss and then instantly go new game plus with a new game and your same gear.
This is exactly the information I was looking for. Thanks.
WHY ARE YOU VIDEOS ALWAYS SO DAMN GOOD. PS this game is amazing 🤩
I think a cool idea regarding item management would be taking inspiration from Guild Wars 2's "Material Storage".
To those who are not familiar with this: It basically allows players to send all of their looted mats directly to a seperat stash with the press of a button, this frees up your inventory and you can craft directly out of your material storage.
every rpg has this 💀
Great overview! You did a great job laying out the strengths and weaknesses of the game.
Your reviews or overviews are the best.
Good news, as of the time of this comment, they've added crafting from chests and a "add to similar" key.
They also are adding the ability to use weapons that you don't have the stats for (a la Dark Souls) with very diminished effectiveness.
They've also made it so that until you beat the first boss, the blacksmith will repair your stuff for free.
I'm in love with this game. The world exploration, the player agency in combat, the story and world building, the art style. Just awesome and only more to come
The game and hard work the devs are putting in is mind blowing
V Rising did an amazing job with their storage system. They have a feature where you press one button and it will automatically distribute all duplicate items in the chest.
So once you’ve sorted the items the way you want all you have to do is go to each chest and press one button and every matching item will automatically be sorted in the chest.
I hope they implement this feature in the game!
Downvoting this comment because it's cringy that you buy a super like to get more attention on youtube. lmao get out.
@@bsho7450 Yes you’re right I bought a super chat in hopes that he sees my comment because I feel this is a valid fix to the game. It addresses one of the concerns. This is a community and we work together to improve games that we like. I felt I had something to offer.
On the other hand your comment offers nothing of substance to the discussion. Narrating that you’re downvoting someone is in fact cringe. If you’re going to down vote then downvote no body cares.
@@bsho7450 If you had a brain you would take it out and play with it 😂
Bashing this guy just for buying the super chat is pretty obnoxious. On the other hand though... dear super chatter... force already adresses what you say in this video. So, no idea what you are on about.
needs modern camera like mod for no rest just like with v rising. was a huge gamechanger
Great review! This is why Force is my go to reviewer when it comes to new RPGs very constructive and hit on all the feedback Iv been saying, inventory system is so frustrating running back and forth and just in general a bit all over the place. Iv been screaming out for a chest next to the vendors so I don’t have to run back and forth. Love this game it’s so much fun and can see myself losing countless hours to it! Really looking forward to future content!
Game is 9/10 Easy.
Devs made 2 hotfixes in 2 days almost eliminating most minor problems. & btw you are the best game reviewer atm.
3 hot fixes now. In 4 business days
Game is 9/10 Easy *for me.
a paid shill is the best reviewer lol...tell's you he got paid and you still say this sad world.
@@dystarnightuss1885 Betheshda with Starfield with a bigger team: 3 "hot" fixes now. Im more than 6 months.
@@jbell2184game is good. Skill issue buddy
"EYES UP"
"BETTER HERE THAN BACK IN TIER"
running to get mats for crafting
Most eye candy game I’ve seen, absolutely love the art style and the commitment to said style- everything down to animations of cloth and inanimate objects and elements, absolutely beautiful visuals
I'm at 50h, what a blast, full dex build, love it
One of the best reviews I've seen for the game.
This game has such a unique and rich atmosphere and mood. Absolutely loving it so far. The characters and world have so much potential, I am really excited to see how they develop the story as they have so much solid foundation. I’m at 30 hours and still have a boss to go before the crucible “dungeon”. You can really take your time with this game if that’s your thing as it is mine :)
65 Hours in 3 days? Folks this is a PRO GAMER right here. Thanks for the videos bro, they're always appreciated!
Me and my poultry 13 hours lol
Pro gamer? Its his JOB mate, your logic makes everyone a pro at their job. Pro burger flipper, pro washer, pro deliveryman etc etc.
@@Eldenbruh What if I told you everyone is a pro at their job. cause thats what professional means.
Pro? It's literally his job lol
Those are rookie numbers. You need to bump them up.
I adored the first Ori and bought the definitive edition after playing through the first one just because I loved it so much. Due how life sometimes dictates other priorities I never got around to buy and play the second one. But I bought No Rest For the Wicked and I've been loving it. Its a challenge and its not perfect, but its a very very strong basis and going off how good Ori is, I can only feel confident they will deliver.
As a consequence of this game feeling and playing so well, so much atmosphere just like Ori, I decided to buy Ori2 afterall. Crazy how delivering good game experiences is the best advertising.
Go go Moon Studios! You understand what a good game needs to be!
Lol, I'm actually 66.3 hrs in. On my 3rd character. First was pure strength, 2nd was pure Dex, now I'm doing a quality build. I love this game. It's Dark Souls with an overhead view. Despite the fixed camera, exploration is great and even goes a step further than Dark Souls by including proper platforming mechanics. Combat is rewarding and the art and animations are superb!
I'm surprised to see some haters for this, which would be understandable if it were based on performance because that needs a lot of work, but the game itself shows so much promise. They were probably expecting Diablo because of the camera. Can't wait for the next big content update.
Dark soul does not have a combat system as fluid and rewarding as this game, this game has a variety of combat animations with each weapon, soft and aggressive, the player's combat in dark soul makes you sleepy and frustrating to see such simple animations in front of the players. boses that do have powerful animations and visual effects
"proper platforming mechanics"
I laughed do hard because it's true but at the same time painfull
Let us craft from our storage ! I hate getting mats back and fourth
I won't play until it's in the game. Makes no sense to not have it.
It's in there now, as of the newest update.
After watching this im glad i waited you pretty much get a tutorial/introduction area and then what sounds like 1 soild level with a few areas thats crazy
I'm about 20 hours in. All I have to say is to find a spear and upgrade it as far as you can. Spear is so good. Combine it with a bow to have a nice ranged attack. Shields suck. Health Regen is good. Farming materials is tedious.
It's so annoying that you take damage while blocking with a shield, that should not be a thing. Feels bad.
I’ve seen daggers with life steal being pretty op
just not a huge fan of the crafting in general , I wish the crafting aspects leaned into more unique items with statuses and build diversity / upgrading your town as more optional objectives that perhaps with an increase to stack sizes become something that can be naturally done over time. I think there's some great things about the combat game loop that having to take the time to craft at a fire just ruins it for me. I would be fine with just being able to craft on demand or carry a camping kit at the very least , that way picking up items contributes more seamlessly on your journey forward as you can constantly craft items with more unique statuses
Shield are actually great cuz you can get ones that fill your focus on block so you can make a tanky mage that basically never has to attack. It's the only game I've every enjoyed board and sword fat rolling haha.
@@2PacStoleMyBike Yeah ive gone the dual dagger route, feels amazing (chipped daggers moveset kinda sucks but the rapid dash rune is great)
I stacked on the parry build. When I parry my stamina refills, my health (almost) refills and I deal damage.
So it's no rest for you
Lol why does this comment not have more likes 😂
You tried to make your hair looked messed up on the thumbnail but ended up looking like an anime character 😂😂
so true haha
that dude has some great hair!
Dude looks like Lars
Anime? Ewwww. That's for the femboys.

Free tip for those looking to farm ichor...When he is describing how quickly you can make it to the first boss, keep in mind that the first boss drops an ichor, and you can create a new realm. So with your current highest level char, make a new realm, rush to the first boss and kill it, then do the bounty for the monster in the War Room, boom 2 ichors very fast. Use this to get some inventory slots and have a much more smooth experience early on :D
Bizarrely for me it seems like a fantasy version of The Ascent..level wise with all the elevation and effects
👍 Underrated game, imo.
@@gesto211 Actually just started New Game+, after seeing reviews for NRFTW, but waiting for this to come to console with V Rising!
Ascent looked gorgeous but the level design had too much back-tracking and the itemization was anemic
@@wampatan9 ALso not an RPG like this is, the Ascent is a shooter. Great game too.
maybe i missed the option in "the ascent", but i couldnt disable the "equip everything you pick up" option. which was the main reason why i had to deinstall the game. otherwise it was fine to play. the font size was also too small.
Cheers for the run down Force. Good vid.
Good review. Very fair! Sounds like this will be an AMAZING game on release day.
Another great review video. This time it helps me to find that this is not my game :). Cheers
Looks mad fun dude! Hyped to play
One and a half minute in, you convinced: I'm trying it. Thanks for selling it better then in the other video.
Honestly it's great as long as you know there are performance issues. It isn't terrible, but they are still there.
wait til you get to the inventory management part
Its also VERY short, once you are done with the story there is, you only have the crucible and dailies left, over and over. At one point you WILL be OP, and starting a new char is a good idea.
@@Eldenbruh it is short, but I still put in 23 hours and haven't beaten the crucible yet. Currently at level 19.
Pretty much have the same feelings as you. Love the gameplay, love the exploration, really love the art style. Inventory management is a bit tedious. I only just finished the quest to get the house last night so I didn't realize you could buy more storage chests. That will be useful at least. I started out day one with some unlucky gear drops and was thinking I wasn't going to like this game but with that first update early game weapon and armor drops seem so much better it has been great since then. So far I've found this to be just the right level of aggravating to learn new content and fights but sooo rewarding once you do.
I'm not a Diablo 4 bad person. I think it is fine for what it is. But I found myself wishing that D4 had some of the really fun exploration and combat and difficulty that this game has. And I have been playing Dragon's Dogma two and enjoying it but as far as NPC's and voice acting and story go this wins hands down.
I suck at these sorts of games. But, like Elden Ring it's designed in a way that just keeps pulling me along and makes me want to improve and keep exploring and experiencing the amazing world and see what I will find next. I've put in close to 20 hours now and think it's time to put it down(so I can finish Dragons Dogma 2). I can't wait to come back for 1.0! Moon Studios have another absolute banger on their hands!
I really appreciate the combat design in this game and how well it punishes button-mashing that so many gamers has gotten accustomed to.
Great video as always
So glad that it's as good as it looked when first announced! It always annoys me when people downvote / review-bomb an early access game for not being finished lol. But more annoying are all those who have been wanting it to be a different game (Diablo V) when the devs have no intention of regurgitating tired old tropes.
I only have a Steam Deck to play the game on, and, not gonna lie, it has been somewhat rough. LOADS of crashes. I am over 20-hours in now (but not progressed super far as I suck / the technical difficulties have slowed me down), and super excited to finally be buying my first house! As things stand, I think (barring performance) the main thing devs need to look at it farming / itemisation. As you've brought up, it's a big mess and has started to grate a bit too much for me. But I LOVE this game already. I love the world, the characters, the art, the voice acting. It feels AAA+ in those departments (only, well, good - cos it's an indie, not corporate trash!) Wish it could be in 1.0 like tomorrow, ahaha - so looking forward to it!!!
Im loving it so far! It's definitely early access (in terms of content and performance, bugs arent bad), but the promise and potential is absolutely magical.
All my biggest complaints are relatively small and have easy fixes. On the other hand, the "hard" stuff (map design, story/ presentation, combat, itemization) is top tier
At the time of this video release I was close to your amount of hours. It needs a lot of work but OMG I can't stop playing.
I'm glad I waited for the full release and maybe a patch or 2 before playing this game, this game looks insane
Already played over 30 hours, watch a little of ur video. Now i have to play some more. Its that good.
Yea this game is so amazing. I have like 30 hours so far and 2 characters and still love it. Just need inventory management fixed, crafting from storage, item compare, and I will be happy. This when finished is going to be a contender for game of the year imo.
Sooo good though. So good. I cant wait till full release.
i love the crucible, am current rolling with 2hd sword Strength-Faith fire throw build with Health regen. It one shots all the creatures and has insane stagger build up on the Echo Boss. You make so much money running these its insane.
I love the art style.
Then try the old game the Discipless 2 Rise of the Elves.
@@vyktorzhuravlev8304 I'll check it out thanks.
Good review! Additionally I think they could slightly increase the pace of the game almost everywhere for:
Walking
Farming
Looting
Combat
Shorter ways in Sacrament
Crafting
and add a bit more weak loot in the early game that you have a bit of the possibility to try dufferent builds before you start to settle.
Im totally addicted to this beautiful game
Thanks Force, bought it yesterday, it's still difficult, but I finished Bloodborne on PS4 so this experience should help :P
i'm enjoying this game sooo much! Amazing.
I honestly think this game is going to be incredible at 1.0 release. They really have something. I’m loving it, even if I’m terrible at the combat! Sure there are many things that need tweaking/adding, but Moon Studios know that and I have complete faith in them.
Wow, you proved the title of No Rest for the Wicked. I was frustrated like a lot of players with the keyboard/mouse controls but then also saw the alternate keyboard layout, and that will get me by until they let you remap the keys. This video has been one of the best walkthrough for the game I have seen. Thanks. Do you know if they are planning to use a league/season method of keeping the game active or just using expansions?
So controls are poor/bad? Then I will definitely wait with this one. 2 things I hate most in games are no.1. Game not running properly, FPS drops to crashes etc. 2. Poor controls. Nothing makes me rage as much as poor controls! Recognize this. I hit him!!?? I said go that way!! NOT that way! Why can I not bind this damn KEY? or that? or that?? I have to macro it? Really? I clicked that skill!! I did 5 times!!
Now I feel better, ty :), also I'm not a supporter of early access but I hope they have fixed it if so, when game releases. Unlike a certain dragon's dogma 2. That failed both royally hard.
@@dongarippo7279 Based on your entry here I would definitely wait if I were you. At least until they get a few patches out and add key mapping. It was designed for Game Controllers and when you go from GT->KM it is a lot harder to achieve then KM->GT. What is funny is they came out with the first version out for PC and not game console.
My best experience for early access has been Last Epoch, where my worst is Wolcen, mainly because they took you so far, and then abandoned the game.
@@dongarippo7279 Yeah, controller's your best bet right now. Though like with any souls games, they've still not cracked the code on being able to move and heal without the claw hand maneuver lol.
+healing effect is such a good stat, makes your low tier easy to craft foods able to work well in the crucible.
Can't wait for the full release
Loved this game, every bit.
You can reach the first boss in 2 mins. Which is a fantastic icor farm BTW. On a main character you make a new realm, start on beach and run past the fire into the keep. Continue north to the stairs slightly to your left, jump through the window to the water behind the keep and swim east (right) to a ladder. Run a little right then down to run through a passage to another ladded. Climb that ladder, run north to activate the lift. run east again jumping off the ledge into the glade. Run down following the path to the first boss.
If you never stop this takes about 2 mins. If you stop for the 3 large chests you will pass it takes about 3-4 mins to get to the boss.
Kill the boss, skip cutscene, roll into the city (don't wait for the bridge to lower, you can walk ahead while it lowers lol).
Run to the Rookery, skip cutscene and get an icor powerup. Run back through main square to the bounty guy, take the "within the walls" bounty. Run to the war room and defeat the leveled mini boss for a second icor (this one you can place into the shared loot chest.....)
After you turn in the bounty for the xp and silver you leave game, select realms, go to the new one you made and press select, or the little button left of start. (us nintendo guys call it select)
and reset the realm to the first restore point to do it all again in another 15 mins.
All of that takes roughly 10-15 mins for 2 icors and 3 large chests. The XP is surprisingly good esp if you turn in the bounty. Even better if you rest in the Inn for 4 hours before you do this.
8 icor 12 large chests and 8 silver per hour excluding boss drops.
The first boss drops a unique 2 handed sword fairly often and a lot of other stuff.
Love this game! Absolutely needs loot comparison and I’ll be content with it
23:50 yes the "crafting from storage" feels like a missing possible upgrade. I really would like to see this and no other thing like pinning recipes because it would simply be the best quality of life choice here. Ohh dear devgods please summon a magical storage upgrade so we can all be happy and dance around our vendors... Havent played that far (17 chest in a unknown house) but I really like your place.. especially at the current state of game and the fact you have 17 chest ... ;DDD
In terms of storing and crafting. My Time in Sandrock nailed it, I think they should steal that system. Basically you can put X materials into any chest, rinse and repeat. Then in the future, you can select ANY chest and hit store all. It will then propagate all the items to their appropriate chests based on where you were storing things, done! In terms of crafting, It just looks at all your chests as your player inventory, perfect!
I rarely am impressed by games of late but this one is on my radar for sure. Not sure my card can handle it though. The system requirements on steam aren't that demanding so hopefully it's an optimization issue and they can fix it because if love to play this.
Definitely picking this up when they have finished it and added more content.
I have like 10 hours in and this game is honestly incredible. The art direction and graphics work they did are really just amazing. I just got a new Samsung QD OLED s90c and the game really looks beautiful. They did a fantastic job with the HDR implementation.
Thr combat is sooo satisfying and i freaking love how difficult it is. But i am a soulslike fan so it may be a little too hard for many casual gamers.
I cant wait to see what they do with the rest of the early access. Really amazing game so far with just some minor annoyances in the gameplay
Just please let the crafting pull from storage lol
I like this game, and look forward to the updates. Wish it was finished on released, but welcome to 2024.
Can't wait to play this game. Getting it soon
Torrent it first and see how you like it
So, you sold yourself to Moon studio? God, how I wish I could do the same! Joking apart, you know, respec is in 3rd place in their list of priority, performance and menu/texts being their 1st two ones. Always a pleasure to hear your opinion! Thanks...
love the game, would love to have more content as my biggest issue is - its too short at the moment
I think there are 4 bosses only including the Crucible one
What pushed me to buy this game is how quickly they reacted to feedback, hotfixing a lot of the issues at release and communicating about them.
To me it plays like V Rising + Diablo + DS in a weird but brilliant conglomeration of the three. You have the loot (as well as the expected loop of running levels many times) like diablo, has the general 'feel' of V-Rising and combat mechanics like DS. It's not something I would have ever thought of - and honestly, it's genius. The game is amazing. Can't wait for the rest of it.
I don't often go back and replay games often, so I'll have to wait for when the game is finished before I get it. That said, it sounds really cool and it would be great if you kept an eye on it and let us know when it's considered complete!
I'm at 14.4 hours to just finishing the main storyline, haven't done a Cerim dungeon but I unlocked it. Wasn't rushing or anything either, just taking my time but not going afk for long periods. So that should be a good example of how long it takes to complete the current content with one character. That being said, while I have upgraded a lot of the town I have not fully upgraded it and have barely engaged with furniture at all. It would take me quite a bit longer to get all the resources to finish upgrading the town.
Seriously enjoying my time with it, even in EA. Hard, but fair hard. Biggest problem for me is how a failed boss fight just gets harder. As you use your resources on each attempt, then end up having to do the fight with none, which makes it harder still.
Amazing atmosphere, with incredible detail really draws you into the world.
Hope this is a franchise that is around for a long time.
Everything I seen about this game makes me want it more. I need it on my PS5 asap.
I absolutely love the way this game is (hopefully) shaping out to be, the combat isn't perfect, but it's pretty pretty good imo
The thing a lot of souls-likes don't quite grasp are the nuances which makes SoulsBornes balanced, all the variables are interconnected. i find that when a variable is changed for the sake of making a souls-like distinctive (eg. no rest heals), this has a domino effect on every other variable/
Fun fact you can interact with npc even if they don’t have a quest or etc if you pay attention to their dialogue you can cause unique interactions and secrets I got to npc in a relationship by exhausting their dialogue and cause them to meet in the tavern which when I saw them their they form a relationship no quest no reward or anything just a cool little detail
one of the best games I've played, only wish there was more.
I have 51hrs in at lvl 26 and i llove this game. Cant wait for more
So 51 hours one one playthrough? I thought it was only about 20. How did you get so many hours out of it?
How did u get 51 hrs out of it when it was release a few days ago??
@@charleslebi7297 im retired and disabled so i play alot
@@lars4422 Playthrought doesn't end after you finished ACT 1. You have some end game content and of corse you are free to farm what you want to upgrade town and find the perfect gears.
Also, the area you already explored resets and you can find new enemy and new loot, so it does makes sense to play that much. I have 46 hours currently and i am planning to play until I reach level 30 wich is the max level you can get in the early access
I freaking love it. Only thing I hate is that it ended too quickly, I need more and I need a LOT more.
static currency tab would make the game 11/10 for me! :)
the amount of Materials feels good. I love it. hate all those other games that make it so simple with next to no gear mats. It suits this game really well. killing critters and looting meat parts adds to the viscera of this game, gives it that gritty feel to the game.
lots of quality of life buffs are needed, probably should give us respec at the Carim training ground thing at the end of act 1. That feels like a solid place to grant it.
I can see this isometric view being much more comfortable for those folk who might usually have a hard time with the timing and positioning precision in third person. Not everyone bounces off soulslikes because of the difficulty demand, some just experience an extra layer of difficulty for that reason. So for them this game will probably scratch the same itch as the 2D side scroller equivalents.
Good to know. I’m adding this to my list to play. I have to get through Kingdom Hearts The Story so far and Ghost of Tsushima, but it will be next 😅
Cant wait to watch the speed runs
I havnt had as much fun playing this game as I am in a long time
If You like that game You should try Achilles: Legends Untold , similar idea but visually more Titan Quest , I Love this game and that new enemy AI system WOW. You know that enemy adopt to situation but every time one enemy kneel to let another jump of him to do Jump attack on You is never boring.
I think craft from storage should be implemented but only in your house. This would add more benefits to buy the crafting stations for your home. Also increase stack sizes would help resource management even put to 40 would essentially be double storage then what it is currently.
I'm going to wait for full release on this one. Happy playing Death Must Die act 2 :)
Crafting and cooking should be a mini game, just throwing that out there
TLDR (my take): The game is very good. It has some stuff to fix (inventory, comparing items, some grinding imabalances), but the ropes for a tremendous, long-lasting game are there. The care devs have put can be felt, the combat is great, survival elements are a pretty good addition. Can't wait for full release.
I refuse to play early access games any more. I look forward to the official release
YES!!!! THIS COMMENT NEEDS TO BE SEEN! Early access is a waste of time when we can wait to have a more optimized game, more content, and features. Why the heck would they release this with no multiplayer. So lame. No buy from me.
Same, but I relented for this one and I’m glad I did. It’s a “complete” game except for the content. Most early access games haven’t even filled the world they’ve put in so far, or made combat good etc. This is a good 15 hour game at the minimum.
Ikr, paying to beta test. lmao
Crafting from storage appears to be a welcome addition. I do not like fiddling around with my inventory, just keep the action going.
I really enjoyed it and was exactly what I expected, but after 20 hours or so there is really not much to do and it only took me around 10 to beat the story so far (excluding Echo Knight).
You can grind materials for town upgrades, but with the limited inventory it is rather tedious honestly. Just started a new character to experiment with a new build, but I think they definitely should include a respec option asap
Endgame feedback...after grinding crucible there should be insanely hard world bosses to use all your power gained in crucible on. These world bosses should give maybe items that give cool alternative ability and attack animations and skins to your weapons and armor
