I recommend this game. It has a very beautiful artistic world, cutscenes and music.
You may find the gameplay a little undercooked and find the open world too empty especially since they are still in early access, but you will definitely enjoy the main quests cutscenes and music and art also the dungeons look amazing and they have a lot of hidden loot and puzzles so exploring them is pretty fun
I played in Preludes (early access) until a month or two ago.
- It generally looked good, and some of the environments were downright beautiful.
- Some areas were unreasonably dark, making it difficult to see enemies standing a few steps away.
- Music was pretty good.
- Weapon variety seemed good, but I can’t say for sure. (I spent most of my time with bow and dagger, so I didn’t get much experience with the others.)
- Combat was decent.
- Character builds involved a bunch of different systems that were not explained, but could be learned from the forums or through experimentation.
- Quests and dungeons were a little buggy, but not so much as to make the game unplayable.
- Enemies in the main map quickly became tedious. Most of them were the same, and they constantly got in the way while I was trying to go somewhere.
- Fast travel uses per day were limited.
- Foot travel barriers (mainly walls and mountains) made traversing the map needlessly annoying.
- The main trader and leader of one of the factions constantly sneezed in my face.
- The trader’s mini-game was interesting, but without rewards, pointless.
- The focus on nature was a nice change of pace.
- Story and NPCs were very shallow.
As WarFrame veteran, I do have some expectations…
I did maxed lvls and so all gear, thousands of hours played, since very public beginning. I did bow in front of many game quests and stories, I sang many in-game songs, far outside the game. And I did paid irl where totally not had to, only for sake of support. I cursed devs so many times for their weird stupidity and choices, up to being banned here and there.
I’m aware, at least some, of DEvs decisions of WarFrame happened on tech details, and currently are unchangeable without rewriting whole game, only fair. And so, I have hopes, devs wont make same falls again within the next game.
By quick research, community have lots of inv-keycodes, that currently getting worthless (as game getting open soon). I’ve got mine on game discord within 2 minutes, and started 15minutes ago. Looks promising so far, as inglorious child of Warframe and DarkSouls?
Much thanks for sharing the news, it finally going open, that pushed me to going into already.
Definitiv a recommendation also. The language may be hard though if you’re not native English.
