Totally! Staggering Is pretty damn important in all action games. Combat always feels pretty flat without it.
My jaw was on the floor the whole time.
By all, you mean 2?
Don't forget the Valkyrie.
One thing I don't think is really touched on about the combat system is that you are meant to play aggressive. Attacking, countering, unleashing special attacks, and using L1 + TRIANGLE in one flow builds your momentum. If you can do this you really start to take massive chunks of health off and deal with mini bosses quickly. Also yellow rings can be parried if the timing is right. I make heavy use of attacks that build stun as well to trigger R3 attacks quicklyNoped the fuck out of the library. Shame because I really wanted the loot inside, and especially because up to this point I had done absolutely everything that could be done in the game no matter how hard it was. But this is meant to be done later, at least in GMGOW. Was doing great last try and she out of the blue did a red ring lightspeed slice she never did before killing me in a fraction of a second.
Game is a masterpiece by the way, close to 40 hours in and I'm probably not even half way through.
Finally. Took me 4 years to read a proper acknowledgment of this system on GAF.
Yeah I agree, I like the combat but it’s not exactly complicated with complex combos that you need training area.
Calm down, you can praise a game too much you know

I think because its unnecessary resource if it doesn't add anything to the game. games like original RERemake the bodies won't disappear after death because they turn in to crimson head later on or in Cyberpunk the enemies can discover dead/unconscious bodies and be on alert.
Fair enough. I didn’t do much running in my play-through, so it didn’t really become an issue, but I’ve never been a fan of clicking the thumb stick tbh. My fave QoL feature is the option to hold a button down during QTEs rather than hammer it. Praise the gods for that one!I'm just saying something good about a QoL feature included in the game
More than likely. Literally every button is used for something important, even the touch pad. It took a while before I realised you could press both sides of the touch pad (or at least one side?) to bring up the map without having to go into the options.
Go to the options and switch to "sheath weapon".
I found most of the puzzles were connected to side missions - and it certainly doesn’t take 50 hours to complete the main game.
Finally part of the club.
Now I can enjoy this game at 60fps and with quick reloads, because the load times were killing me on PS4 Pro. I also noticed that textures were sometimes a bit slow to load into their full quality on it.
I really enjoyed the game. Still prefer the first one but its a brillant adventure to experience. As for hidden..
Can’t solve simple puzzles, game is bad. Ok Jan.

With Travellers you just have to be aggressive, like you said. It's a super close range kind of encounter.
Just did absolutely everything available so far in Midgard (minus main quest) and man, some encounters here were super damn hard, especially the Huntress encounter during the Sigrun side quest. What a fucking game.Meeting the Norns was done so damn well. The hiding place and the means to get there was just perfect.
Also... Sif is
Midgard side quests were really good and lore rich. I highly enjoyed those. Side quest quality is really good here. I won't say Witcher 3 good yet but I'm enjoying it very much. But the main story is so good I kind of want to get back to that always. It's a good problem I guess.
The first huntress at the start whooped my ass. Surprisingly I beat the crap out of this one. Dodge the fireballs close in and Blades of Chaos runic attacks light and heavy hit her like a truck.With Travellers you just have to be aggressive, like you said. It's a super close range kind of encounter.
Lock them and then attack, dodge, attack, dodge, shield when they do the rotating attack. After the first game it becomes a pure muscle memory adversary, probably my absolute favorite enemies to fight. And man the new finisher on the champion is brutal as fuck.

I can solve then however the entire emphasis is on puzzle.
Opposite here. lol
