*Audio Description Available*Death was supposed to be the end, but for Laufey (Faye), warrior and wife to Kratos, a new adventure is just beginning. Santa Mo...
Eh… The combat itself is pretty lackluster. Not a lot of variety in weapons, the monsters are pretty uninspired (humanoids with holes for faces are the main trash mobs, while bosses are basically just geometric shapes and colors), and even on hard only the bosses are difficult, and not because they are hard exactly, but becsuse they’re just shapes their animations suck at telegraphing what they’re about to do… While it is a soulslike at heart, its focus is more on puzzle solving, exploration and dialogue. It’s actually more like an actual RPG than any other soulslike I’ve played except when it comes to character development (it doesn’t have any aside from how you grow in the story).
Thanks for the info, that sounds like it may be worth passing on. The story looked like it had potential, but I heard mixed-poor reviews when it came out.
Was it worth it once the combat did start? I had been slightly interested in that game.

I really enjoyed the story and style, enough to work through the ‘meh’ gameplay, though some of the puzzles were kind of interesting.
I think I’d have enjoyed it more as a book or perhaps a TV series, movie would be too short.
