Downloading it as we speak. Will post impressions / pics later.
I have no idea what kind of game this is lol, if it's another Souls-like, I'm probably gonna leave it at the demo and not consider the full game.

Demo only available if subbed to PS Plus (essential)?

It is similar controls as a souls game for the combat, but that's about it. It's 50% exploration/puzzles and 50% combat. And it's not really a bonfire, lose crap, stats, type game. The enemies don't even respawn from the save points.

Sounds more like a traditional character-action driven game. Much better.

yes, with dungeons and puzzles closer to a zelda.

I preordered it off a Steam key site like the day after I played the demo.
It's on eneba . com for $36 with code GGD13 (steam version)

I actually have changed my purchases to Greenmangaming, is supposed to be more developer friendly and less gray market area.

PSN, when trying to download it says not available > only when having ps Plus essential. So I subbed to these fucking bastards to be able to download... Disgusting, like I said. But I guess I'm the moron here for doing it
edit
I'm in Germany if that makes any difference

Man I had no idea this was the ex deus ex team. I loved those games even if they weren't as well received as I would have hoped. This just got me even more excited for the game. Not even going to bother with the demo and I've barely watched any footage.
I met the dev back when they were Deus Ex team and you couldn't be more wrong. They're just making a game they wanted to make and that Square-Enix either wouldn't have financed or put so many marketing peoples around the meetings to leash the creatives that it would have veered into some GAAS shit.
They're authentic as can be
You sound like an asshole with that comment to be honest

Of course not whole team of Deus Ex but Jonathan Jacques-Belletête was the visual designer behind both Montreal Eidos Deus Ex games and is leading Hell is Us team, but I know for a fact that Eidos MTL has been bleeding talent since Square enix and embracer group and some are in Rogue factor studio. Like Francois Lapikas who was also a designer for both Deus Ex is now there for example.

The demo is pretty good. Combat and enemies are their own thing; very atmospheric, too.

If this is even slightly like Zelda, I might have to just cancel my Helldivers pre-order and get this instead.

What console did you play on? Performance? Multiple quality options?

Looking forward to playing tonight. Demo is a good sign.

PS5 vanilla. Fidelity/performance options. I always go for fidelity. In this case, I'd recommend performance, because graphics aren't that great and IMO extra smoothness is needed for combat in this game.
3 difficulty settings. Normal seems challening enough (just played 1 hour, it takes a few tries to get the hang of it)

Turned it on for a second to see if there was a performance mode, and yes, it does have one. I'll check it out later tonight.

I was really interested on this game, but I couldn't finish the demo.
I love soulslike games, but it didn't work for me on this game. I think if it was a tps survival horror I would love it.
The story and setting seems cool, the puzzles were ok, but I hated the combat and enemy design.
Anyway, I played on base ps5 and it ran perfectly, good graphics and performance.

Why did it prompt me that it requires plus? Both on console and in the app?
I could not download the demo without subscribing.

Put in about 5 minutes on the Pro and yeah, I'm in day one. Don't need to see anymore. It looks and sounds fucking cool as shit.

Performance on PC is much better than the earlier demo. I just wanted to confirm that by downloading it and its much much better.
They have capped 30 fps cutscene though and if you have framegen by default it fucks up with artifacts of course as there's just not enough frames. Disabling it though even in gameplay I hit ~75-80 fps with ultra settings.

Btw, the demo is really the prologue. Apparently the game opens up big time after it and the locations get wild.
If you enjoyed the demo, rewatch these trailers and become extremely hyped like I am
So good
3 weeks
I feel it'll surprise a LOT of peoples

I played up until taking the APC to the Marshes so far and had to stop for now.
It's...pretty good and interesting so far but I definitely need to see how all these elements come together in the full game. It feels kind of like a hodgepodge of various games right now but something isn't fully blending for me yet. The Souls-ish combat feels odd in that world to me, I keep wanting to pull a fucking gun with L2 lol. All the elements are good on their own, like the combat doesn't feel bad or anything but it feels slightly rote right now.
There's a lot to like here though and I like the amount of Adventure game elements, detective/dialog elements and all that. I'm in Day 1 though and intrigued.

Alright. Played through the demo.
- It looks like a Souls-like.
- It controls like a Souls-like.
- It has diegetic world navigation / lore like a Souls-like
But the fact that it has select-able difficulty customization options is a big plus for me. Also enemies don't respawn whenever you use the manual save spots which is good.
The Pulse system is a bit finicky and I don't think I got a full hang of it, the 'pulses' either disappear too quickly or I'm just pressing RB at the wrong moments but it was a hit or miss for me.
Also the main protagonist is Aiden Pearce looking motherfucker with the Deus Ex voice and the Death Stranding poncho .. hopefully the final game has some visual customization options.
