@@arkgaharandan5881 oh wow... i've been switching back and forth on dread templar and ashes i love those two games

Your restraint is commendable! I hope you enjoy the rest 😁

@@KIRKCOLLECTS it was easy because of Valorant addiction taking up all my time 😅

I'm waiting for Wrath and Ultrakill this year, 2023 is gonna be packed.

@@luminosity01 selaco!

Slipgate Ironworks holds a record in early access boomer shooters

@@SimplexPL In my mind GRAVEN has been in ea for 15 years, but ea release is May, 2021. Maybe I was following it for much longer and played demo on Steam fests few times.

@@jjforcebreaker I feel you :)

Doooo it!

Great choice! Did you know that both games you mentioned are Polish? :)

@@SimplexPL no, I didn't. That's great, Polish gamedev is getting big

@@rumatadestora Thanks! :) I personally think that Polish gamedev has been strong for the past 10 years, and especialy since Witcher 3 release (2015). But I may be biased because I'm Polish :D

Some of the best game developers in the world for sure.

@@KIRKCOLLECTS Word! ❤

Only time will tell but Dusk fans will definitely love it.

It releases tomorrow but the embargo lifted today.

@@KIRKCOLLECTS Aye your right, I just got the info on mail. Great review tho!

@@ZlimBratSki Haha I was anxiously double checking it before upload. And thank you!

Definitely!

I thought it sounded like the dev just did it himself. But they really should find a voice actor and redub. It is SO BAD. I bet they could find someone on Fiverr who would be a vast improvement

this is exactly what my first impressions were. the game initially felt so bland it gave me depression lmao. both the starter weapon(dualies and pump action)feels horrible to play with. the starter katana that you get from the beginning feels super satisfying but the cooldown is too long so you gotta fall back on firearms. pump action sh0tgun doesnt have satisfying kickback or punch, the dualies feel odd to play initially. the game felt so cheap and bland it p^ssed me off and didnt touch the game for weeks. but then i gave it another go and holy fk this game is amazing. the dual handguns exclusively feel amazing in the slow-mo reflex mode with the early game found golden rune called "Neo" that gives infinite pistol ammo/no-reload/massive dmg boost while in slow-mo mode, once you upgrade your character(which is not hard) to gain higher amount of more slow-mo energy at a higher rate. you will be exclusively using dualies in the slow-mo mode. the pump action sh0tgun completely changes how it feels and looks with another golden rune that makes the enemy freeze and slow down when you hit them while leaving satifying bullet trails. i made a certain build with specific upgrade ruins made it so that i was only spamming the bow and katana throws only without ever waiting for cooldown sitting ducks. consistently using the bow and Katana/javelin exclusively without any firearms (upgrades that gives a chance to cooldown each arrow fired instantly/increases arrow capacity/"Lucky" gold rune that increases the rng even more), another rune made it so that based on rng you intantly cooldown the katana throw and (almost spam it)and combined with "lucky" sometimes you will get to spam 3/4 katana throws back to back triggering the instant cooldown. there is another rune that gives damage boost to subsequent arrows fired , it makes it so that you dont want to wait to hold/charge each arrow rather spam all of it for the massive damage boost with every next arrows and with it you can instakill miniboosses purely via bow/arrow spam. there is another gold rune for SSG that increases your damage for every enemies thatare around you which means in combat encounter with large crowd+miniboss you will ignore the grunt enemies to keep them alive and jump in towards for the dangerous miniboss to finish him off with SSG dmg boost encouraging a riskier playstyle but also massively rewarding it. another rune called "Cutter" turns the SSG into a x-bow looking thing that shoots a vertical blade thingy that slices and rips through all enemies vertically in its vertical path makes it feel like you are playing the dead space with Line Guns/Plasma Cutter lmao every golden rune upgrades are amazing and massive playstyle changer. and not to mention the level design is really fking solid and the most engaging/intriguing/rewarding secret hunting ever in any FPS. but you gotta find the upgrade runes and engage with level design/secret hunting. and thats fine since the secret/puzzles are so fun to engage with also the game tracks your progress so when u replay mission you get to keep all your upgrades, also NG+ unlocks when you are halfway through the game too and i wish more game did that. i'd say give thegame another go cuz dread templar has been the best fps of 2023 for me

That's a little vague

@@doommaker4000 So? The game is boring to me, so it's boring to me.

The game lets you respec whenever you want so you don't really have to stress over the skill tree
