The narrator sounds like he's jerking off but i'm not convinced.

 

[mayham2199]

Didn't even watch it because this is day 1 for me. This game looks incredible.

 

[Hudo]

This... actually looks like it could be good.

 

[Gonzito]

This... actually looks like it could be good.

The demo was a blast, and one of the developers worked in Deus Ex HR and MD. The game is going to be good for sure

 

[semiconscious]

some serious potential. it'd be nice if this was good...

 

[Jinzo Prime]

They are certianly saying all the right things, but let's see if their ambition matches what they put out.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Can't wait for this. And it's soon too. 9/4!

 

[Kurotri]

Huge potential. The demo was good, the atmosphere was incredibly thick. Only thing that I didn't like and I'm still iffy about was the combat. It kinda..sucked. Something about it was very clunky, and I don't think it'll change much by release. The rest of the game needs to carry it, so my hopes are with the lore and writing.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

Took me by surprise, looks likes a winner. Killer art direction and atmosphere. Should be a lot of hype for this one.

The bolded. It looks great in general but those elements are just so fucking appealing. Much like Cronos, the aesthetic is like crack to me.

 

[Embearded]

I am in.
Only problem is, the second part of the year is packed, with big releases every 1-2 months and i only have a couple of hours to play every night.

 

[Dynasty8]

This sounds so good... It's exactly the kind of game I'm looking for.

I think their biggest issue will be convincing puzzle gamers to like difficult action combat, and convincing action gamers to like complex puzzles.

Maybe they can capture some of that Elden Ring audience

Or...Zelda, right? The combination of tough combat and puzzles are what Zelda fans are craving right now.

Nintendo has been extremely deliberate about making Zelda as age and knowledge-level friendly as possible.

I can only name a small handful of puzzles (maybe less than 5 and the NES games take up 3 out of those 5) in all of the Zelda I.P. that actually made me pause to think for a long time about the solution.

This game is sounding like they are full of those, and I don't know if action gamers will have the patience for that.

This has been my slight worry ever since the earlier moment when I brought up Secret World on the first page of this thread. That game was amazingly ambitious, but it also heavily filtered out your average MMO audience because of how involved and hint-less the puzzles were.

honestly i think you're looking too much into this, given what we saw in the demo they released they might just be full of shit about all those incredibly challenging puzzles and level design

or perhaps the demo was just bad but the actual game is miles over it but i'm skeptical, whether it's about the puzzles or the combats

Not thinking too much, just typing too much

We'll just have to wait and see on release how difficult things can get. If anything we live in an internet age, so unless the puzzles are randomized I think people will be fine using wikis.

I think it would be foolish of them to put too many ultra hard puzzles on the main path of the game, as that would break the flow too much, but we will see.

It doesn't help that the director of this game has only worked as an art director before so I hope they've got a great game designer and level design team to pull this off.

 

[R6Rider]

Yeah, this looks fucking awesome. That dungeon video specifically has me wanting to buy it day one.

 

[Black_Mamba]

What the director says about dungeon design sounds like music to my ears. Looking forward to this one.

 

[Flabagast]

Looks very generic if I am being honest

 

[SJRB]

Played the demo and had a great time.

This game is going to be a banger, mark my words.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

I liked the demo. Already preordered it. I plan to use my supernote while playing this. Sounds like a game where you'll need to write some things down.

Pass. I prefer games with titles that are grammatically correct.

Whatever you say, mom

 

[Buggy Loop]

Btw, demo of this was really cool. Some performance issues but not game breaking. I love the atmosphere of the game.

 

[archangelmorph]

Looking good. Bellete was art director on nuDeus Ex so he has some credentials.

Is he the guy who looked like Jensen in that game?

 

[Hudo]

Btw, demo of this was really cool.

Was this demo only available for a limited time? I don't see one on Steam, at least.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

yea, it was only on steam, and for a few days. I played through it on Steam Deck.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Didn't know it was time limited but it seems so as Gamer_By_Proxy said. Sucks demo was removed.

Legit one of my most hyped game of remaining half of 2025.

 

[Denton]

Is he the guy who looked like Jensen in that game?

It is him although I do not find them to look that similar, aside from the beard.

 

[Yoshichan]

Demo (for consoles) out August 12

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Playing this demo killed some of my hype for Mafia, especially considering I just finished Mafia 3. Looking forward to this game more!
