Starts out great with slower more tactical combat and amazing boss fights, but by end game it is just POE 1 zooming through maps killing everything instantly with massive aoe damage.

If you wanted more POE you will probably like it. If you were looking for something different you will be disappointed.

Not designed for solo play. You get two AI companions when you play solo and they are nearly useless. The "defend the antennas " mission fairly early in the main story is a huge pain on veteran difficulty and basically requires you to be in two places at one time. I'm sure its a breeze with other payers joining you but not fun solo at all.

Also, for a heavily armored super human you feel really squishy in this game. You have to spam dodge or use cover or else ranged enemies melt you in seconds.

Also, no ultrawide support in 2024 is a total joke. I requested a refund but if i had friends to play with I bet i would have enjoyed it

If I knew the PSN account would eventually be required I would not have purchased the game.

also, recent changes to spawn mechanics and weapon balance make the game significantly less fun for me. combine that with nothing fun to grind for and I'm leaving this review negative and the game uninstalled.

does not work with dual sense controller. tried enabling steam input, disabling it. wired usb connection. nothing works. refunded

does not support dual sense ps5 controller on steam version despite being released on ps5

Runs like garbage on a 7800x3d and 4090. It also looks really dated.

Not as good as the first game, but hopefully they add more to it like they did the first. Overall it is fun but it can get stale. Currently has no replay value.

Add Mystic Knight and the dozens of magic spells that were not included from the first game. Then give us hard mode, speed run mode, and an end game gear grind.

Go in with an open mind. Be humble, read stuff, learn, experiment. Adapt and adjust your gameplay to THIS game. Don't ask for the game to be changed for you. Being good at other souls games does not mean you will instantly be good at this one.

The best souls game I have ever played. Absolutely insane that it has mixed reviews.

Playing this mediocre game for over 200 hours is not something that I am proud of.

The game is good, but it's not really finished. Hopefully in the next year they fix the very long list of bugs. I think the reviews are based primarily on the first act of the game, which has far fewer issues than the last 2 acts. The farther you get into the game, the more plot holes and inconsistencies there are. NPC's referring to events or choices that never happened (in that play through). The quest log actually spoiling story by giving me info I should not have yet. Quests not tracking or completing. Cut scenes not playing or playing with the wrong background scenes.

It seems like the game has a hard time keeping track of what choices you have made and what path you have taken as you get farther into the story. Sometimes the pacing of events and relationships is way off depending on if you have rested at camp or not or if the events even triggered when you did rest. The game is very ambitious and they clearly were not finished fixing all these issues and released it anyway. Hopefully they actually finish it because it has the potential to be a great game
