      Seeing how mobs that can WILL try to flank and use different approches. Like the armors, some will Leap, others will approach and then some will hang back and throw their weapons. Most games would just have them lumber towards you as you circle strafe them

    • @GG256_
      @GG256_ ปีที่แล้ว +1

      This is all good design and programming. For example, check out how enemies aggro towards a player and have a set path in games like soulsborne or Bethesda RPGs. Like the comment above me said, enemies will just lumber aimlessly at you with barely any tactics. The moveset can vary, but that's usually all.

    I have to say, I really like the number values for damage are digestible, so to speak. I get the Vegas-style glam for every one-hit skeleton in Vampire Survivors being worth 3 billion points, but just seeing the number "6" pop up for a direct wand hit in this video honestly hit just right; when another hit shows "30," it does feel that much more clear how significant it is.

    Re-viewed this review after beating the game, and it's absolutely spot on. There's so much to this game, and it hits both the references to the Harry Potter films & books, but also is just a really solid game. As ACG points out, the combat is interesting and at times difficult. The exploration isn't in-your-face with fetch quests sending you all over the map, it's subtle by making you want to find something you haven't found yet. It's worth noting that parts of my map are still dark after having beat the game!

    The world building and design is simply stunning!! Not even an Harry Potter fan but this looks great in gameplay and graphical wise. **Hats off**

      Let’s hope that visual brilliance maintains during the performance mode(60fps).

      Same, early videos the graphics looked average, but this review just dispelled that, it looks stunning and the world looks amazing to explore.

      @@tel7625 Yeah same here, good to see an improvement instead of further downgrading the whole thing. Only thing that missed the mark are some faces but yeah i can live with that :)

      what do you think about the empty open world trend?
      basically, make copy paste of same quest
      Make map showing task list of what to do-> player are doing trask , no longer immersion of enjoying exploring game
      copy paste npc, content and quest-? how do you feel ?

      Yea definitely can see how hard it is to develop an awesome game like this! There is an incredible amount of animations from even the tiniest details! This game looks 👀 CPU intensive, and I am shocked that this game is cross Gen! Can’t imagine how the PS4 and Xbox One version performance runs.

      @CyberHarleySamuraiRealiti Cus I'm sure that's explicitly worse than buying products from companies that bankroll human rights violations like child labor, forced labor, criminally low income, sexual abuse in the workplace, etc. on top of putting more money in billionaires pockets so they can continue to live hedonistic lifestyles and pay off officials to give them advantages over small business owners which they don't need, just want for extra bonus money. Gotta collect all dem yachts while funding essential slavery in other parts of the world. So yeah, lets feel guilty about buying a game where some of the profits go to some author in royalties whose opinions you find distasteful and abhorrent.

    I watched this review about a week ago and was a bit suspicious of the cons. I bought it yesterday and played it a ton! I love it!
    I came back to this review today and agree with this review 100%. The cons are cons, but negligible for me in comparison to the fun in having.
    What I haven't tried is remapping keybinds (pc here). I like ESDF, and having multiple buttons within each is better. Luckily this game has the counter mechanic that the Batman series or Shadow of Mordor series has, meaning when an attack comes in, just hit the dodge button or shield button to get away for free.
    The character does move forward with every attack though, so midway to the end of the fight, you're standing where you're enemy started. Super annoying.
    Spot on review!
