Thx man, great honest review. I got this game on PS5 sale last December for around $30 and I think it's totally worth it. I played it on Raytracing quality without any glitches or issues; absolutely stunning. Last night finished the Story mode (30h) and looking forward to exploring the rest of the map. Maybe parts of the open world could be livelier, but believable as part of what the story tells. In the remainder of my quest I'll explore and utilize the various spell systems more to add variety to the gameplay.
Just wanted to say THANK YOU! I really appreciate this game and it was really fun. The combat in this game is the coolest out of any game I've played including 10/10 games like GOW and Spiderman. The traversal is incredible, especially on water. The character, Frey, was annoying at some points but I can't blame her since I would also want to escape a world if it had break storms lmfao. Her character was realistic and that made it a fresh experience. It wasn't a 10/10 game maybe more like an 8 but I feel that a potential sequel could be a 10. This world has so much potential it would be sad if it gets shelved forever.
The game isn't perfect, but it got a lot more hate than it deserved. Your review is one of the most balanced explanations of good and bad that I've seen, so thank you! One of the game mechanics I enjoyed was how the spell challenges encouraged you to try out all the magic and figure out what worked best for your play style (like Prime my beloved murder rock). But at it's heart, the game is also telling a story. It's about Frey, and so you have to understand who Frey is for the story beats to make sense. It's not a self-insertion or make your own avatar type game, and I think some of the disappointment comes from folks expecting one and getting the other.
I’m not going to lie the game is good it’s not great or amazing but it is good I just think people didn’t look at the gameplay and just focused on the main character but hey I got the game for 13$ soooo worth it.
Should've been smaller, better combat arenas its sad that we probably won't get a redo or a sequal as far as the dialogue i didn't mind cause it in some way made sense cause she was brought here and lets be honest alot of people would probably be the same way as far as the actual besides the limits for no reason i enjoyed the variety of them
This game is on sale on Steam. These post launch reviews are important. Thank you for taking your time to make this. You convinced me to give it a try.
I fully agree. Now with the loading time issues mediated, the game is good, and especially the twist at the end is great. Plus: people might complain that Frey behaves selfish and swears a lot, but she is a kid from the street that needed to fight for herself all the time. She's just portraied as she should be.
This is a great channel idea. Maybe make a new channel that specializes in just this? I had trouble finding other videos of yours in this style, hence why I recommend this
The protagonist matters to me. If the protagonist is mute, the story comes second. I did like what i saw of the gameplay but due to the aforementioned reasons i dont think ill spend any time on it.
Make your money worth it by actually playing pass the intro and beating the game!🙏🏽 Edit: It may not be the best game but as long as you get some enjoyment out of it.😊
Its like 10-20$ now. It's worth it & on PS5 with VRR enabled you can get 90-100fps locked. One of the best magic* combat systems & the Open world traversal is smooth some of the best in the buisness.
Instead of the usual horse...Or Starfield where there's 0 vehicles in a space game...Just an actual boring walking simulator. Death stranding at least had 3 vehicles in the base game to traverse with & EXOSKELETONS! **I think the DLC added even more stuff to the game but I havent looked into it.😌. It's just funny said people trashed death stranding a PS4 2019 game yet Starfield is a True walking slog simulator next gen Xbox console exclusive in 2023.😬 Locked at 30fps I might add!🤭
I still haven't played Starfield I saw through the hype and planned on getting it at a deep discount but after looking at the steam reviews I'll probably just skip it 😆
uninspired and dead. The main 3 tantas fights were the highlight of the game. The world was lack luster, with very boring side quest. After defeating Tanta Olas I was already burnt out at 40 hours. I just wanted to finish the game and get on with my life. I even skipped the final boss, but then replayed it to beat him on easy lol. Oh one more thing. The voiceovers were the worst I’ve heard.
My only complaint is how boring and repetitive it gets. Enemies are extremely predictable and sometimes can't even hurt you if you just move around enough. The world feels dead as well. I'm not saying go RDR2 world building level buy it is very stale.
I played the demo and i do wwant to buy this but my issue with the game is Freys constant bit@hing, swearing and just rotten attitude towards NPCs and the world... i can swear as bad as the next guy, but seriously, her attitude stinks.. and it irritates the hell outta me..
I feel like no one is looking at this from a realistic point of view she was transported to another dimension with no way home that along with her back story all explain the attitude. She volunteered to save countless people and even avenge someone she barely knew, telling someone F.... You because your literally bleeding out and they want you go kill more people isn't being rotten (highly relatable to me personally). I feel like people are being hyper sensitive towards her character and dialogue, the way you described her character encapsulates the people that complain about her perfectly. If you made your mind up about hating the character then their is no reason to play the game, I gave this a chance bias free and thoroughly enjoyed the game and character thanks for watching.
@@Dark-Shinobi Thanks for replying but Ive actually had a chance to play the full game properly and im going to do a 180.. im actually enjoying this 😊.. i picked it up pre-owned.. and when i actually played it properly and got into the game from the beginning.. i actually now understand why Frey is the way she is and talks like she does .. it all makes sense, her and cuff dialogue is really quite hilarious in parts, in fact, ive actually grown to quite like her as a character, shes actually really likable after a while.. Another bonus is the game is quite tough and challenging in parts. so yeah.. its pretty good and im enjoying it that much, i grabbed the DLC in the PSN sale.. i will always admit if im proven wrong and this is one of those times.. im pleased i give it another shot, but.. the demo does or the early reviews do not do it justice.. Thanks for the reply buddy.. 👍
It's actually worse when there's not just lame protagonist, but horrid characters litering the world. Take Shadow of Mordor, with the wooden plank that you operate, and the cinderblock stuck up it's butt. Both horrid pieces of turd, but the others? Have you ever listened to the orcs banter? To hear an orc complain that he doesn't actually like killing, but would much prefer doing other things in the camp is just... nice. Again you can just skip through a boring protagonist, cuz they usually only speak in cutscenes, but you can't do that when every god damned thing on the map is a reason to commit mass murder.
I think what they tried is a western character doing a JRPG role. If it had been a Full fledged JRPG thode lame lines would have sounded fun from a Japanese character view.
