waited 12+ years for this game to come out. Combats not as fast and loose as AC4A but definitely tighter than 5 and verdict day. Overall I think it strikes a nice balance. Its clear Fromsoft wanted to use many of their mechanics from dark souls/sekiro and it can feel pretty wonk at times since AC is such a vastly different medium and there are many people that don't like that. Bosses can feel like banging your head against a wall because you have to learn their movesets and you cant completely dodge all of their attacks or you get stunned and two shot by the Sea-Spider, but I can say with certainty its not dark souls 2 unfair. If you learn the bosses, you will beat them. So with that said its like if armored core had elden ring mechanics thrown in, if you think thats your thing, then I 100% recommend if not then wait until the game is on sale or gets patches done on it. And to all my fellow AC vets, welcome home ravens.
